TOC is no more

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The TOC protocol is no more.  Development should continue on OSCAR.

I would like to second this, I would like to see NAIM continue on.  Maybe it 
can be made to work with libpurple?

Ditto, FWIW.  I've used "Finch" and the UI is terrible compared to naim.

naim is the best CLI aim client!

Please bring naim back to life asap!

Im in the same boat.  It seems like the ip addy of the TOC auth server has 
changed.  I dunno if this is a hard coded address in the software or can be 
configed.  The culprit ip is 64.12.202.7 or 64.12.202.14  These are valid ip's 
within the AOL reserved block 64.12.255.255 but I dont think there is a machine 
behind them.  Would be nice of AOL to fwd those DNS requests to the new server 
until such time as they are needed.  Dunno if the whole auth has changed or 
what but they cannot be pinged nor tracerouted...

It's easy to change the IPs naim connects to by default, but I think we've been 
assuming the service has been shut down entirely. (I just tried 
toc-m01.blue.aol.com through toc-m10.blue.aol.com and both of 
toc.oscar.aol.com's IPs and they're all blackholed, and 
aimexpress.oscar.aol.com doesn't exist in DNS [anymore?].)

Hi Dan,
Yes, you are right, AOL has shut down TOC service for good permanently.

I am making some level of progress forward on the OSCAR implementation:

I'm happy to help mentor anyone else who wishes to work on this as well.

I applaud waking this project back up and getting it up on github.  I
wish my c weren't so rusty, or I'd offer to lend a hand.

Thanks for taking this on, though.

naim/OSCAR is now ready for more substantial testing.  I use it as my daily 
chat client, without too many issues.

I've released a snapshot:

  https://github.com/downloads/jwise/naim/naim-0.12.0-2011-09-10-0413.tar.bz2

and of course you can browse the source:

This has been about a month of hacking in all my spare time -- hopefully 
someone enjoys it!
