Subject: [OTR-users] autoreply messages not encrypted??
Message-ID: <dea5843e0608030158m5a6e01eaua9fe3e5d5e5236db@mail.gmail.com>

Hi

I have downloaded the OTR plugin, as well as the autoreply plugin, on the
Gaim.sourceforge.net website. When I run the 2 plugins concurrently, I was
told that the autoreply message was not encrypted. Would anyone have any
idea as to why this is the case, and if so, can anyone tell me how to
overcome that and encrypt my autoreply message as well? Thanks for the
attention.

It's probably not possible without modifying the autoreply plugin.  gaim
has two ways for plugins to send messages: 1) "send this message
directly", 2) "send this message, but pass it through the plugin chain
first".  When you type a message in a conversation window, it uses (2),
so the OTR plugin gets it and encrypts it.  But most plugins themselves
use (1), so OTR never gets a chance to see the message at all.

Hi

Thanks for the prompt reply and help. So, in other words, are you saying
that it's impossible to encrypt the autoreply message? Or do you mean that
this can work if the autoreply plugin is modified? If it is the latter, what
command actually does (1), and which does (2)? Or is there some document I
can consult on my own, as I wouldn't want to trouble you unnecessarily.

Thanks

It should be able to work if you modify the autoreply plugin.

I don't know that there's good documentation; I think one needs to
rummage through the source.

I'm pulling this from gaim's conversation.c file:

To just send a message:

    serv_send_im(gc, gaim_conversation_get_name(conv), msg, 0);

If you want the plugins to get access to it before you send it:

    gaim_signal_emit(gaim_conversations_get_handle(), "sending-im-msg",
	    gaim_conversation_get_account(conv),
	    gaim_conversation_get_name(conv), &msg);
    if (msg && msg[0]) {
	serv_send_im(gc, gaim_conversation_get_name(conv), msg, 0);
    }

I *think* that's right.  Give it a try.  :-)

We have tried several times to install, even manually copied over files into the GAIM directory, however, it never shows up in the GAIM preferences plugin list to select. This is on WindowsXP SP2.

Any ideas?

This may be a silly question, but are you sure you're installing the 1.5
version (as opposed to the 2.0beta)?  The 1.5 is at
http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/binaries/windows/gaim-otr-3.0.0.exe .

If you are, can you send along the output you get when you run gaim -d?

(Please reply to the list; I may be out of conatct tomorrow, but Ian
should be around.)

It's definitely on the "todo" list.  But cycles are scarce.

This almost always is caused by someone being logged in more than once.
But the specific bug report you refer to doesn't seem to single out
gaim, so I can't tell if it's a libotr issue, a gaim-otr issue, or an
adium issue.  If you can reliably replicate the problem, a network dump
of the messages sent and received would be a big help.

Not our call.  You'd have to ask the gaim people.
