[osflash] [OT] MSN plug-in idea :)

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Thanks for the tip Evert, however, as I said in my last msg, I don´t think I
would need to use the MSN Messenger protocal, here´s a use case:

- The user would install my MSN Messenger client plug-in;
- The plug-in would talk to my server through SOAP and retrieve some useful
information
- The plug-in would then show a dialog with the event of the next week to
the user, The dialog would also have a button "send this info to all my
buddies" that would send, through the MSN API the data as a msn message to
all the users friends/contacts.

In sum: My server wouldn´t need to send data directly to a MSN client in
using the MSN protocol, actually, I didn´t think of it before, I firstly
though about using SOAP and do the rest client-side... however, any
suggestions are welcome as this is a field that I have no past experience!

- Marcelo.
