Jabberwocky problem

Hi All

I cannot chat to my Facebook friends any longer using Jabberwocky! When I load the program I think it logs in successfully but has a message 'Connection reset!' on the top of the window! Does anyone know how to get it back working?

Cheers and merry Christmas to all Amigans worldwide

Don't know if this is anyway related to your issues.
Got this when logging on recently.

We are planning a series of security improvements, including mandated encryption of client connections, with the first test on December 20-21, 2013. Please visit the following web page for details:

Not sure, have upgraded to latest version 1.9 but having the same issue!

@sicky
The security message at jabber.org means that client programs must connect with TLS (SSL) which Jabberwocky cannot do. However, not all Jabber servers are requiring a secure connection. Try creating an account with another server like jabber.ccc.de which works for me.

@xenic

HOW DO I DO THAT, CAN SEE NOTHING IN PREFERENCES OR ACCOUNT DETAILS?

@sicky
If you check some Jabber server lists like https://xmpp.net/directory.php you will see that almost all Jabber (XMPP) servers require a secure connection now. Even if you find one that still accepts non-secure connections, it probably won't be non-secure for much longer. Unless a skilled programmer decides to join the Jabberwocky project at Sourceforge and updates it to make secure connections, Jabberwocky is obsolete.

The latest version of iksemel comes with TLS support:

It could be worth giving a shot, if they didn't break the API.

I tried to add that about a year ago and didn't get it working. Jabberwocky uses a modified version of iksemel library so it's a little more difficult to use some of the additions to iksemel library. If I ever find the time I'll take another look at it.

Bitlbee does work.
