Comment (by marty):

 yuck... I'll try again w/ code wikiformatting

 {{{
 The password is alphanumeric.  There aren't any non-ascii characters.

 It is interesting to note that Pidgin did not fall back to any other
 available auth mechanism after SASL:DIGEST-MD5 failed.  In addition to
 SASL:PLAIN, the server offered traditional jabber auth methods.

 Curious - Why do you want to see the handshake from a non-Pidgin working
 client?

 I played with JBother a bit, and it seems to succeed in connecting by
 falling back to an alternate mechanism.  But, when I forced SASL:DIGEST-
 MD5 by disabling everything else on the server, it fails.  When I sniff
 the transaction, it appears to be insisting on iq:auth instead of SASL,
 which is disabled.

 I then installed Psi, and sniffed the following successful auth
 transaction:

  "Response: <?xml version='1.0'?><stream:stream
