[Bug 887349] Re: Can't login in Windows live acount using empathy

[Brandon Mayes]

I had resolved this problem in 11.10 a few days ago by manually updating
the url in /usr/share/pyshared/papyon/service/description/AB/__init__.py
from this:

url = "http://contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx"

to this:

url = "http://local-sn.contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx"


Many others on ubuntuforums.org suggested that the local-bay address
worked for them:

url = "http://local-bay.contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx"


However I tried this URL and was still unable to connect.  Now that I am using the local-sn address everything is working fine.  After I updated this morning (in update-manager) I found that I was unable to connect again and the URL in this file was changed back to the local-bay address.  I can only assume the update changed the URL, but unfortunately it still does not work for me.  As soon as I changed it to the local-sn address and restarted empathy my contacts loaded right up.

Is the URL somehow different by geography?  I am in the USA and the
local-bay address failed for both me and another individual in Canada.
It seems to work fine for others throughout the world however.  But I
don't think this is quite solved yet since applying the update today
actually broke empathy for me (only after I had manually fixed it, of
course).
