Any further thoughts other than "ask the pidgin folks"?
I talked with the pidgin folks a bit. They recommended that I give socat a try, and it seemed to work. One of the folks had this to say:
19:39 < darkrain42> cj: Also, for the record, I think stunnel just isn't the thing you want to be using. What it seemed to be doing was opening a SSL connectoin to talk.google.com and then writing the raw data from your socket to the server (so Pidgin tries to open an SSL connection and the raw SSL handshake is written to talk.google.com)
Is this correct? I would have expected it to terminate the SSL connection with finch on one port and originate another SSL connection with talk.google.com on another. If I read what he's writing correctly, he's saying that the connection from finch is not terminated, but instead passed through unaltered.
Maybe it's because I was using the "client" setting in the config file?
In any case, if I want to capture a session using STARTTLS, It looks like I'll need to make that patch.
Cheers,
