Hi, I think this has been an issue for a while. While it is pretty small it would be nice to have it fixed. So basically the problem is I can receive files in Yahoo but cannot send. When I attempt to send a file via the Yahoo protocol it will just say "file transfer failed" and the person I am trying to send the file to will get a "file transfer canceled" response (even though I did not cancel anything). It does not matter if the person is using Yahoo or a 3rd party client the file transfer will still fail. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks in advance.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Send any random file to a user of the Yahoo protocol.

Actual Results:  
I get a "file transfer failed" message and the user I am talking to gets a "file transfer canceled" message.

Expected Results:  
The file transfer was not successful as expected.

Basic Kopete configurations.

SVN commit 1216829 by rkcosta:

libkyahoo: Apply some fixes related to sending and receiving files.

From the ReviewBoard request:

  Receive part:
  a) protocol (as reading from various places) suggests that first a
  HEAD and then GET should be done. Current code was asking them in
  parallel.
  b) fixed the way sending the header was done.

  Sending:
  a) changed to an async method of doing the send
  b) send buffer size is dynamic to try to send as much as possible
  c) ... various - made it work.

  Maybe fixes also #194833 although I'm not very sure what is that one
  about.

Original patch by Cristi Posoiu <cristi.posoiu AT gmail>, thanks!

Cannot backport due to the string additions.

Glad to hear this has been worked on. Can't wait to try the 4.7.0 version to see how well sending a file in Yahoo works now. Thanks again.
