Comment 8 for bug 371103

Hi, thanks omega13a and petski for the great investigation!
the PATH is set before plugins are loaded, but the plugins are loaded before you connect and the msntranslator/gnotify plugin does a simple "package require http", which loads the latest version (2.7.2). We know that the version 2.7.2 of http is broken that's why we require the exact version 2.4.4 that ships with aMSN. Unfortunately, since 2.7.2 was already loaded, 2.4.4 can't be loaded, which results in this problem.
The easy solution would be to do the package require -exact http 2.4.4 before loading any plugins, this way, when the plugins do require http, they'll get the currently loaded 2.4.4!
Here is a patch that you could apply to fix this issue permanently for other users (quite a few jaunty users complained about this) :

thanks for your help,
