Description makosoft 2008-05-04 00:45:38 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Gentoo 4.2.3 p1.0) 
OS:                Linux

When using the Kopete OTR plugin over MSN, authenticating a contact doesn't work. After both sides enter the shared secret, Kopete displays a message saying that the message is too long and asking if it should be split into two parts. No matter which choice is made, the authentication doesn't work. (It doesn't matter which side initiates the authentication.)

Kopete should let libotr split the message itself in this case, but looking at the Kopete OTR plugin this doesn't currently appear to be supported.

libotr version is 3.1.0, and Kopete was updated from svn trunk earlier today. The user I'm connecting to is using the Pidgin OTR plugin, version 3.1.0, on Pidgin 2.3.1.

fixed in rev. 820925

Hmmm... out of interest, why is the maximum message size set to 650 for Jabber? The libotr documentation seems to suggest that Jabber doesn't have a maximum message size and doesn't need fragmentation, as does the comment in otrlchatinterface.cpp:max_message_size. That's actually quite a low message size limit, too.
