Donald Le spake unto us the following wisdom: > We will sunset the authorizers login.oscar.aol.com and slogin.oscar.aol.com > used by your clients today. > Notes: 53809 unique logins in July 2016, 54003 in August 2016 and 50810 to > date in September 2016. I believe we only use these when people have trouble using a method we call "clientLogin" that uses login.messaging.aol.com. I'm not sure if this is the same or not. > Your client has a distID = 0 and "no" DevID. The new authentication path > requires a valid distID and DevID. I believe that this is because we have tried multiple times to get IDs and were unable to get in contact with anyone who could/would issue them to us. Note that libpurple (the IM communication library underlying Pidgin) is used by multiple clients, and this may affect this issuance. > We will upgrade our AIM client (Legacy, Web and Mobile) in the coming month. We appreciate the heads up, although more lead time would of course have been easier to coordinate. I will be mostly unavailable over the next few weeks, so hopefully another developer can schedule a conference call.
