Comment(by rhduncan):

 Unfortunately, those of us behind corporate firewalls are forced to use a
 HTTP proxy, and also the 'Use HTTP method' for msn due to tight proxy
 restrictions.

 Is there any response/acknowledgement/confirmation from the developer? Is
 there some more information I can/should provide in order to help? Am I
 wrong to assume it is a simple fix to solve the problem by (re)setting the
 connection timeout?

 I am not a pidgin developer, but I'm gonna take a stab at a bit of a hack
 here ... but how about this ...

 Somewhere in libpurple/protocols/msn/switchboard.c @@
 msn_switchboard_add_user() method ...
 {{{
 if (swboard->servconn->session->http_method)
 {
 msn_servconn_set_idle_timeout(swboard->servconn, 0);
 }
 }}}

 Or perhaps it may be better to set 0 timeout on both http_method and
 (purple_proxy_info_get_type(gpi) == PURPLE_PROXY_HTTP) conditions, but
 elsewhere in the code.

 Any thoughts?
