ICQ, MSN, AIM, YIM validation process

Post by php_wiz_kid »

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anybody knew the validation process for any of these instant messenger services (ICQ, MSN, AIM, YIM). I would just like to know what characters are valid, and the format and stuff like that. If anyone could help I'd greatly appriciate it. Sorry if this isn't in the right forum.

just do a little websearch to their protocols.... usually they are not open... but if you dig into code from projects like gaim you will find out how it works :)
