That request was manually made, not sniffed from the client. His point is that MSNP16 is active on the servers, but the client is still using MSNP15

Oh, I see.

i'll be checking that when i'm free :P lol
i think i might be able to find out what's new [server side] before getting the new base (hopefully)

Good Discovery! :P

k the authentication theme is definitely different from P15 and earlier versions , when trying to login using SSO it returns:
error number 932 which isn't found on the piki for known reasons lol :P i'll have to wait for the official client then ...

MSNP16 uses same authentication system as MSNP15...just in MSPAuth it adds new field MachineGuid....
it is stored in registry at
"HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1960408961-688789844-682003330-1003\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\MachineGuid"

"MSNP16 resp" = "MSNP16 resp" + " {MachineGuid}"

But what about on Linux os's that don't have MachineGuid ;)

[TheSteve]

You can probably just generate a GUID and use it as long as you continue using the same one.

u can use any random GUID...just keep it same during ur whole session

[Eckos]

Does it matter if its hardcoded into the source. Or does it need to be different for each time you login?

[vinaychavan22]

technically MachineGuid should remain same for device everytime u log in......
so you should not hardcode it .... as 2 machines with same MachineGuid might create issues ;) if you run same program on thm
