Introduction

Welcome to yellows' MSNP wiki - "we actually have documentation"

Why not visit the Command Table?

Protocol Versions

More is to come soon! Hopefully!

Wanted Information

  • MSNP6: What makes the "Account must be verified before using the service" dialog show up?
  • MSNP6: Does it really acknoledge the account verified bit? I couldn't get the toast to show up in Client Version 3.6.003x.
  • MSNP8: Did FND exist? Rumors said it did shortly before it got killed in all protocols.

Common Terms

  • Official Client: MSN Messenger (Service) or Windows Live Messenger.
  • Client Version: relevant Official Client version.
  • MSNP: Mobile Status Notification Protocol, or whatever acronym you like. Runs over TCP via port 1863.
  • ABCH: Address Book Clearing House
  • Messenger Config: A file used by Client Version 6.0 and higher that specifies some data for the Official Client.
  • svcs.microsoft.com: Usually a grab-bag of random XML files or services used for clients older than Client Version 6.0.
  • Protocol Split: A MSNP version that usually defines a point of no return.
  • PP14: Passport SSI Version 1.4.
  • PP30: Passport over SOAP ala Client Version 7.5+.
  • SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol, A wrapper over XML. That's the kindest thing I can write about it.
  • Passport: The Authentication Server and/or Protocol.
  • Undefined Behavour: An intentional blank left in the documentation, basically as a "I am not responsible for what this does to your client or server" warning.
