[jdev] Google Talk and Port 443

[André-John Mas]

Hi,

According to Google, you should be able to connect to them on port 443:

http://www.google.com/support/talk/bin/answer.py?answer=27930

But trying an array of third party clients this does not seem to work.
For this reason I started a thread in the Google discussion group on  
this,
but apart from sharing my analysis of the communications, I haven't
had an answer to what magic is happening:

d01201699a1be2c9

Writing to Google support just resulted in a canned answer, telling  
me to
open ports 5222 and 5223, which was not what I had asked. Any ideas?

Andre

BTW If you wish to simulate ports 5222 and 5223 being blocked on  
Windows, then this
link should help:
