Implementing MSNP15

I'm currently implementing MSNP15 on MSNPSharp. I have been trying to implement the SSO auth, but i don't want to write xml strings and send it over, i want to be able to serialize and deserialize the messages, like SOAP web services does :)

The problem is.. Microsoft does not make the WSDL (at least i didn't find it) for the Windows Live Id web service. So, if you feel like making a boring xml file reverse engineering the SSO thing, be my guest :)

Here is the link:

And.. sorry for not working on Monkey Messenger directly, i want to finish this first so Monkey Messenger can move along and support other things :)


Cheers

Have you already upgraded MSNPSharp to MSNP12,13 or 14?
Or are you skipping all those versions?

And wouldn't it be a good idea to keep the current MSNP11-code in the library, and let the developer/user decide which version he wants to use? I'm very pleased with the stability of the current library, and I would be very sorry to have to choose between staying with this stable release and getting behind on bug fixes etc, or having to risk a somewhat more unstable library.
I think that it isn't to hard to implement, the structure of the library doesn't require any big changes...

Hi Thijs,

Well, i will go directly to MSNP15, but it means i will have to look into 12, 13 and 14 too.

I'm thinking about leaving 11 and just make new classes for 15, so the user can choose (11 or 15).

I admire your bravery, because I've got the impression that MSNP15 is only very little documented..

It's a big challenge, but if you succeed, it will give an impulse to many other projects that are lingering to implement MSNP15.. (ex. Pidgin)
