[OTR-users] Notice to users of iChat on OSX Tiger

[Ian Goldberg]

It has come to our attention that the Tiger version of iChat continues
to have the bug that existed in Panther (#3930228) which prevents it
from connecting to a localhost SOCKS or HTTPS proxy. In addition, there
is a new bug in Tiger (#4120243) which prevents iChat from using an HTTP
proxy at all
[http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?13@367.qsNaabcKVYH.632707@.68adb401/0].
As a result, the Tiger version of iChat is completely unable to use a
localhost proxy, and so will no longer work with otrproxy. This is very
unfortunate, and the only workaround at the moment is to stick to
Panther, or to use a different IM client. If you choose the latter, note
that Adium X [http://www.adiumx.com/] now supports OTR natively; there
is no need to use otrproxy with it.

Feh.  :-(
