Hotmail authentication not working? about contacts

[bryanwoods]

I'm seeing this issue as well (getting a protocol error). Haven't had the chance to dig much into the code, but happy to help if nobody's already working on this.

Having the same issue.

I just found out that, I got this error on my logs:

Hotmail has changed its protocols, please upgrade this library first. If that does not work, report this error at http://rubyforge. org/forum/?group_id=2693

hi i've patched the gem
https://github.com/liangzan/contacts
its working for my own code so far. let me know at the repo if there're problems

Hi Liangzan, is your fixed ready for production? Is there anything with yahoo that I think is broken too, how can I help?

[liangzan]

my fix has all tests passing. the tests are ran against real email accounts. i haven't seen anything wrong with yahoo so far. feel free to raise an issue on my repo. for a working ruby 1.8 version, you can check out https://github.com/deneuxa/contacts
mine is meant only for ruby 1.9

Excellent, let me try that one then!

[deneuxa]

Feel free to make any improvment as I'm pretty newbie :)

Hi there, should I install the gem like
gem install liangzan-contacts
for 1.8 ?

[deneuxa]

nope: do that gem 'deneuxa-contacts', '~>1.2.10', :require => 'contacts'
just updated the readme now...

Perfect, installing now, let me check! thanks again

Hi guys! the gem is fixed and it works, unfortunately I don't why with my yahoo account it says that username and password don't match, but in my local works correctly, has anyone faced that?

c = Contacts.new('yahoo','[email protected]','mypassword')
Contacts::AuthenticationError: Username and password do not match
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/deneuxa-contacts-1.2.10/lib/contacts/yahoo.rb:18:in real_connect' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/deneuxa-contacts-1.2.10/lib/contacts/base.rb:25:inconnect'

But in my local works:

c = Contacts.new('yahoo','[email protected]','mypassword')

It's working for me with yahoo on both: prod and local

[liangzan]

me too

I created a new yahoo account and I was able to see my contacts, I'm getting errors from other users specially with yahoo, I don't know if yahoo blocks or have some security enable when trying several times with wrong credentials.
