[Wocky] [Fwd: [Gaim-devel] Jabber, SASL, passwords, binary packages]

[Greg Hudson]

I realized this morning that I cannot easily adapt my password-request
support to Simon's Cyrus SASL patch, because Cyrus SASL will be
requesting the password in a callback which must return the information
immediately.  Since we can't put up modal dialogs in Gaim given it's
architecture, we need another approach.

Also, I'm afraid that binary packagers on some platforms (particularly
Windows) won't build in Cyrus SASL support.  So I sent this message to
gaim-devel proposing a gaim_sasl layer which (a) can have a direct
dynamically-loaded GSSAPI implementation when the Cyrus SASL plugin
isn't available, and (b) will "just know" when a given mechanism is
going to require a password.  Here's the message I sent.
