Hi,

Yahoo decided to start a war against third party clients, and changed
its protocol again. 1 day later, all the major free IM clients were
fixed.

I backported gaim's changes to the Yahoo Transport. I sticked as closely
as possible to gaim's code, so future changes will be easy to implement.

My patch is available on

     http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/yahoo-transport+authfix.diff

Apply it, recompile, and enjoy. Make sure your are using
scs.msg.yahoo.com, not scs.yahoo.com.

pcurtis : I did some hacks (#defines) so future changes will be easy to
integrate. It doesn't add any warning, so I would recommend to release a
new version of the transport ASAP with this patch. I must admit I didn't
test the code intensively, but it was probably well tested by gaim.
