Fails to connect to Google Apps Talk

I've used Empathy for many months to connect to my Google Apps Talk service. Now, in Maverick, with the same settings I get a "No reason specified" error when I try to connect. My other Google Talk accounts work fine but this is a Google Apps service for my domain. I haven't changed any config on either end.

thanks for the bug report. this particular bug has already been reported but feel free to report any other bugs you may find. the other bug have a workaround for this problem you can see it in its comments. see bug 649561

This is not a standard Google Talk account and so is not a duplicate bug. Google talk service works fine for my standard gmail accounts, but this is Google Talk for my domain http://www.google.com/apps/.

I have talk.google.com as the server as it's what I used in my config on Lucid.

I've confirmed that it's not a setting on Google's side as I can connect to it perfectly with Pidgin. I can import that account from Pidgin to Empathy and I get the same error. "No reason specified".

This is not a duplicate of #649561. It only affects Google Apps.

[Kenneth O'Brien (kobrien)]

The workaround for #649561 doesn't apply here.

[Kenneth O'Brien (kobrien)]

Hmm, connection achieved, with same config values. Writing this off as network error on Googles side or an update to Empathy.

I still have this problem...
