NAME
gtmess-gw - MSN messenger HTTP gateway

SYNOPSIS
gtmess-gw [options]

DESCRIPTION

gtmess-gw is an HTTP gateway for the MSN messenger protocol. It effectively emulates an msn messenger server on the local machine and forwards all packets through the HTTP msn gateway (port 80). This can be useful in cases where a firewall is preventing access to ports other than 80. It was written as a companion to the gtmess messenger client, but can be used with any other client.

OPTIONS

-h  Short help.

-g gateway_server
    Set the gateway server. The default value is gateway.messenger.hotmail.com.

-s msn_server[:port]
    Set the messenger server. The default is messenger.hotmail.com.

-n notification_server
    Set the notification server. The default value 207.46.104.20 has been chosen randomly.

-v  Verbose mode; error messages are written to stderr.

EXAMPLE
To use with gtmess, first start the gateway: $ gtmess-gw & Then tell gtmess to use the local server: $ gtmess -Oserver=127.0.0.1

BUGS
Some packets might be truncated under some rare circumstances.
