Exact;y, so if it doesn't work what do you think it's better for them?
Got to the FAQ and try a few checkboxes, or fill a bug report, and
wait some months?

BTW. Ideally users should not care about http method, that's why
msn-pecan will try different connection methods and will use http as a
last resort. This would be transparent for the user.

Are you sure they will? Or are you just blindly hoping that?

For other protocols I would say yes, but what makes you believe that
will happen for msn?
