Subject: Yahoo Messenger Client

Hi,

Does agxXMPP support Yahoo Client. I want to create yahoo client like yahoo messenger for my study purpose where I can login, receive and send message, add buddy, etc. If yes, where can I find the example?

Thank you in advance

To connect to other IM systems in XMPP transports are used. They are also called Gateways.
When you install a server with transports to other systems, or use an existing XMPP server which is running transports, this is no problem. There exist transport to most other systems like Yahoo, ICQ, AOL, MSN, IRC and others.

Hi Alex. Thank you for your reply. I'm really new to agsXMPP. I have no idea about your comment. Could you please give me a link of tutorial or some examples?

If you are new to XMPP that take parts of my reply and do research with Google. You will find a lot.
Also read the book which is advertised at the end of the page to get an overview of XMPP.

Sorry, but we cannot teach you the basics of XMPP here.

I registered a jabber account in https://jabber.hot-chilli.net/account/create/. I logged in successfully through your "ConsoleClient" example. Then I registered my existing yahoo account to

yahoo.jabber.hot-chilli.net

using http://psi-im.org/ and when I logged in through your "ConsoleClient" I was successfully able to sign in and able to get all of my buddy list automatically. Here is the code snippet.

XmppClientConnection xmpp = new XmppClientConnection();
 
Jid jid = new Jid("myid@hot-chilli.net");
 
xmpp.Server = jid.Server;
xmpp.ConnectServer = "yahoo.jabber.hot-chilli.net";
xmpp.Username = jid.User;
xmpp.Password = "mypass";
 
xmpp.AutoAgents = false;
xmpp.AutoPresence = true;
xmpp.AutoRoster = true;

For the second test, I registered one more jabber account in https://jabber.hot-chilli.net/account/create/. My question is how to register to yahoo.jabber.hot-chilli.net using agsXMPP and detect if my jabber account is already registered to gateway server such as yahoo.jabber.hot-chilli.net?

using XEP-0077: In-Band Registration. You should be able to find some examples for this here in the forums.

Thats not possible by trying to login and see if you get an error on login. But then you usually still don't know if the user does not exist or the supplied password is wrong. If XMPP servers would tell you which accounts exist and are registered this would be very bad for SPIM.
