hello everyone

somebody here must know how to make a subscription request from msn
contact list ( like beebo or waynes websites ).

It's allows people to send invit's to their friends in one click.

Do you know how to do this ?

regards

I don't know who Wayne is, but I'd imagine the technique would be to have
the server login as the user, and retrieve a list of contacts.

The GAIM or Jabber source code should give you some hints on how this could
be done. If you look at the source code to one of them but are still none
the wiser, then you need to hire a programmer.

Also be aware that MSN regularly change their protocol to break this sort
of thing, so you may find yourself needing to update the functionality
every 6 months or so.

it looks like a fairly simple plan
How long would it take to build such a functionnality ?

For someone already reasonably comfortable with the ins and outs of the
protocols, I would imagine it's in the order of hours rather than days or
weeks.

Thank you for your answer.

You seems to be the ideal person for this job, how much would you
charge for this action ?

Best regards

No, I'm not -- I know very little about IM protocols. I'd imagine it would
take me days to figure out a solution. You're better off going to the
developers of, say, GAIM and asking them.
