Software Update: MSN Proxy 1.20.00

Dricus sent in the following text about his homemade program: “Do you also get annoyed that MSN Messenger automatically puts you ‘online’ when you log in? I do … That’s why I made a proxy for MSN Messenger that you can use under allows others to set your initial status. In addition, I also liked creating a plugin interface for this that allows you to write plugins. With these plugins you can, for example, create auto responders:”

Features:

• Change initial status when signing in
• Send pings to the MSN Messenger server for keep-alive (MSN Messenger 6 does send pings itself, so this is only useful for 5)
• logging. The logging functionality will log the complete communication between MSN Messenger and it’s servers.
• Plugin support. With plugins you can make auto responders for MSN Messenger.
• Compatible with MSN Messenger 5 and 6.

Plug-in features:

• Incoming/outgoing message parsing.
• Control wether incoming messages will be displayed in the local conversation window.
• Control wether outgoing messages will be sent.
• Send hidden messages (messages with Content-Type: text/msnproxy-hiddenmessage).
• Send ‘local’ messages. These are messages which are sent to the local conversation window. You can give them for example your plugin name as friendly name to make it clear to the user that it is a plugin notification.

Changelog:

• Added: Support for hidden messages. They are sent using ‘Content-Type: text/msnproxy-hiddenmessage’ which will be ignored by MSN Messenger, but not by MSN Proxy.
• Added: Plugin notification function when a message is sent (MessageSent). This will enable you to detect wether a message has been sent, and to modify it and make it a hidden message.
• Added: FSendLocalMessage to THostInfo. This will enable a plugin to send a message to the local conversation window. Useful for plugin feedback to the local user.
• Fixed: Stats weren’t working correctly in the Wut plugin.
• Fixed: Restoring MSN Messenger registry setting for the MSN server to connect to on windows exit didn’t work very nicely.
• Some minor things which I can’t remember at this time
