Failed getting PPFT value

[sapinva]

The latest version has been working fine for weeks, then this. Tried login to web.skype.com, nothing helps.

https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/pull/665 seems to fix it, I'm running it now.

[pvgoran]

@krokodilerian No, it doesn't. (At least, for me.)

[7kilobytes]

I have the same issue. I am using the 1.7 version

[pvgoran]

Downgrading to 1.6 solved the issue for me.

[7kilobytes]

Downgrading to 1.7 solved the issue for me.

which commit hash do you use?

[pvgoran]

@7kilobytes I'm downloading from https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/archive/1.6.tar.gz .

[7kilobytes]

@7kilobytes I'm downloading from https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/archive/1.6.tar.gz .

but you have written about 1.7 version, is it correct?

[pvgoran]

That's right, my mistake. It's 1.6 that works for me at the moment.

[7kilobytes]

That's right, my mistake. It's 1.6 that works for me at the moment.

Thanks. For me the 1.6 version is working as well

Yes, 1.6 works for me as well.

Happens here too. Here's what arrives to skypeweb_login_got_opid:

<form name="fmHF" id="fmHF" action="https://lw.skype.com/login/oauth/proxy?site_name=lw.skype.com&wa=wsignin1.0" method="post" target="_top">

<input type="hidden" name="pprid" id="pprid" value="[16 char hex]">

<input type="hidden" name="NAP" id="NAP" value="[urlencoded: V=..&E=..&C=..&W=.. ]">

<input type="hidden" name="ANON" id="ANON" value="[urlencoded: A=..&E=..&W=..]">

<input type="hidden" name="t" id="t" value="[long base64-looking string with == at the end]">
</form>

Looks like 1.6 passes this directly to skypeweb_purple_got_t and 1.7 goes through skypeweb_purple_got_opid, and now the t is again available directly. Should be enough to just change the call back.

Using 1.7 (built from source) I ran into the same issue. Building + using v1.6 solved the issue for me, too.

[maxmitti]

#665 seems to fix it, I'm running it now.

Works for me, too.

[alexolog]

Can a Windows DLL be made with #665 ?

[SchweinDeBurg]

Confirmed, I am using Finch built from "release-2.x.y" branch and with this patch skype4pidging works fine.

[Mek7]

Same problem here. Where can I get a fixed Windows DLL?

[lameventanas]

I have this problem with 1.7 too, 1.6 works well.
