gtalk should be preset to use SSL on 5222

[Fernando Miguel]

Binary package hint: empathy

maybe a dupe of #89157

currently gtalk protocol presets to port 5223 and legacy TLS.
It should use 5222 and SSL.

Since the ramifications of this change are not totally clear, I recommend that you take this proposal upstream and talk to the them about this change and report back here what they decided.

However, I am currently running on Port 5222 with the (TLS/SSL) option in Empathy with no issues and would *think* that would make sense for the default.

I'm using non-legacy ssl on 5222 without issue as well.

This page suggests 5222/non-legacy for connecting to Google Talk using Trillian:

  http://www.google.com/support/talk/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=24077

Unfortunately not all of the 'how to connect client X' pages agree on what's right. It seems that older pages suggest 5223/legacy, and the pidgin one in particular says that non-legacy SSL "doesn't work", which is clearly false.

So I'd say Google has updated things and now supports 5222/non-legacy SSL connections.

See section 3 on this page:

  http://code.google.com/apis/talk/open_communications.html

    * The service is hosted at talk.google.com on port 5222
    * TLS is REQUIRED
    * The only supported authentication mechanism is SASL PLAIN

So there you have it. TLS is a descendant of SSL.

Marking confirmed.
