[Wocky] Jabber on Mac OS X 10.4

I misunderstood what was going on when connecting with Tiger's iChat
to our Jabber server.  I thought logins were being refused, when the
problem is just a spurious warning dialog.

For the record, according to jdreed, when you try to connect, you get
a dialog with the title ""Non-secure Jabber Login" and the content
"Your name and password will be sent in a way that is not secure.  Do
you still wish to connect to this server?".  If you click continue,
everything works, and a packet trace indicates that everything is
SSL-encrypted.

I no longer believe this behavior originates from the server.
Certainly, the text "not secure" does not appear in the source code we
are running.

Al, you can go ahead and file a bug with Apple.  As I mentioned
before, we are running jabberd 2.0s4 at the moment.  The only relevant
configuration I know of is that the server requires SSL for logins.
