Got this error on new icq account with no contacts.

Great module. Thank you very much.

As node-oscar is a module for working with AIM/ICQ it would be nice to at least provide an example of connecting to ICQ (with new oscar.OscarConnection({username: 'xxx', password: 'xxx', host: 'login.icq.com', port: '443'})
or better still changing the default host/port

Here is ASCII ... Maybe UNICODE is better ?

OscarConnection.prototype.sendIM = function(who, message, flags, cb) {
.... charset = ICBM_MSG_CHARSETS.ASCII ....

No matter what I try all I get returned is undefined for both datetime and data when I use aim.me.icon

When using aim.getIcon I get a node.js error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'users' of undefined at OscarConnection._downloadIcons
(C:\DOCUME1\ADMINI1\LOCALS1\Temp\nw3612_7201\node_modules\oscar\oscar.js:2583:50)

(C:\DOCUME1\ADMINI1\LOCALS1\Temp\nw3612_7201\node_modules\oscar\oscar.js:559:41) at process._tickCallback (node.js:534:11)

My function is:
aim.on('contactonline', function(user) {
aim.getIcon(user, function(error, data, size){
console.log(size);
});
});

Hi, I'm trying to create a simple ICQ client but I have problem with diacritics in both directions. The second client I use is Trillian.

Now when I send some string like "ěšččřžý" from Trilian to Node.JS the special characters are wrong . When I send the same string from Node.JS to trillian the message doesn't even display. There is no problem with common ascii chars in any direction. Any ideas where might be a problem? I can push my code to github if necessary.

Hello,

as i mentioned in an other ticket, i am building a constantly running bot. However i get a Connection reset after some time (ECONNRESET). I have not yet analyzed the length, but it is somewhere around 10-20minutes of inactivity.

Is there some sort of "ping" function, to signalize, that the client is still active, so the connection is not being reset?

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^

Hello.

I am using node-oscar to build a temporary fix for a friend (He can not join chatrooms, so i built a bot to forward the chat).

It works perfectly, however i can not figure out how ot encode special characters or more specifically german umlauts (ä,ö,ü,...) when receiving and sending them.

I tried UTF-8 encoding them, which results in it being \uFFFD (replacement character). Trying to use HTML for it (ü) results in the message not being sent.

My question now is: Is there a way to receive a message with a umlaut in it, if necessary convert it and then send it to someone else?

Hello.

I have using node-oscar for few days, ands sometimes it crashes in _createFLAP function here:

var seqNum = conn.seqNum = (conn.seqNum === 0x7FFF ? 0 : conn.seqNum + 1);

Crash reason — conn is undefined, but I have no closing, or some other events, from connection... this is weird. May be you can help with this issue?

Also I fix a few bugs, and implement authRequest and authReply and change encoding to UNICODE. Here is my diff: https://github.com/DarkSilence/node-oscar/commit/f78cb898b8f22a3e83e97c9aea6b12dc78035578

Please help

My OscarConnections consistently time out after 2 hours, 11 minutes and 17 seconds. What can I do to prevent this? I have been just reconnecting them, but then after a while the program dies with an error about "too many open files".

Not sure if this is a node-oscar issue actually, but I encountered this when using perfectly valid user details. After some search I found that the problem was in password length: passwords longer than 8 characters are not processed properly. If you encounter the same error and are lost you might want to try changing the password to a shorter one

Easy fix, seems like the overloading of the connect() method on socket is what messes it up, simply comment out the overloading:

var _oldStreamConnect = net.Stream.prototype.connect;
net.Stream.prototype.connect = function(port, host) {
  this.remoteAddress = host;
  this.remotePort = port;
  _oldStreamConnect.apply(this, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));
};

Should be:

// var _oldStreamConnect = net.Stream.prototype.connect;
// net.Stream.prototype.connect = function(port, host) {
//   this.remoteAddress = host;
//   this.remotePort = port;
//   _oldStreamConnect.apply(this, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));
// };

I get the following error while trying to run test.js in a blank project using Node v0.10.25:
