For me it works from home with our without ‘Allow plaintext auth over unencrypted streams’

Your plugin and this method both work on my home computer.

From behind my work firewall only your plugin works.

XMPP gchat works from behind my work firewall. I wonder why facebook XMPP doesn’t.

Go here (http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php) and click on Pidgin, it didn’t work for me until after I did that and logged out and back in.

No crypto? Huh.

Has anyone tried it with OTR?

Nope, it’s definitely possible to do it without modifying Pidgin. Just double-check your info in the advanced tab. Otherwise, you’re welcome to pastebin a debug log and I can take a look

After checking out the logs and the documentation at http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Integrating_with_Facebook_Chat I believe it doesn’t work with pidgin before implementing extended permissions like described here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Extended_permissions
So no facebook chat with pidgin before sourcecode changes.

I only get a “503: service not available” from pidgin when trying to log on…

I’m going to keep using your plugin, until it’s been updated for at least status support.

It doesn’t have the same features, no. There’s no status message support for one. But, I haven’t tested adding/removing friends yet.

Does it offer the other features of yours, such as adding a friend or updating your status?

(Not that I expect you to have the answers, this just seemed like the place to ask the questions.)
