[Serusers] Connecting to ser with MS Messenger

[Joseph McDonald]

  Hi,

  I've got ser installed and running (0.8.10 on Linux 2.4.18-18.8.0) I
  attempt to connect to it with MS "Windows Messenger" version
  4.7.0104 on WindowsXP, but it never connected and I don't see
  anything in the logfile showing even an attempt to connect.

  Just to make sure that I didn't have any firewall rules blocking
  access, I wrote a little script to connect to port 5060 on the sip
  server and send it "Asdf\n", that appeared to work fine, as this
  appeared in my log:

Jan  6 10:57:39 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14077]: ERROR: parse_first_line: message too short: 5
Jan  6 10:57:39 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14077]: ERROR:parse_first_line: bad message 
Jan  6 10:57:39 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14077]: ERROR: parse_msg: message=<Asdf > 
Jan  6 10:57:39 dell1 /usr/local/sbin/ser[14077]: ERROR: receive_msg: parse_msg failed

  So it appears that packets can get to the sip server fine from the
  machine that runs the Messenger client.
  
  I also ran serctl moni and didn't see any different output when I
  tried to connect with Messenger, i.e. there is no indication that a
  connection attempt is even made.

  Is there another IM client I can try connecting with?  Any other
  tricks to know about Messenger other than what I found at:
  http://www.iptel.org/ietf55/use_msn.html

  BTW, this is using the mysql module and I created a user with serctl
