Does anyone know how to successfully connect and login to the AIM server login.oscar.aol.com? I want to make a bot-type program in VB, like that SmarterChild screen name, but I don't know how how to decode the message I get when I first connect to that server with winsock.
Thanks
When you log onto that server, it replies with 6 bytes of data. The first 4 bytes correspond to the values in an IP address, the last 2 are the port. Connect to that IP on that port to actually log onto the system.
Check this page for the full protocol:

Hmm, there's a example on PSC, but it doesn't use the oscar protocol. As long as aim supports the older TOC protocol, the client will work fine, just not support oscar protocol commands/features, such as the icon.
