I don’t think it’s optimized for mobile. But, if the framework behind this works, anyone can code a new Messenger.

For now, I’m still stuck at understanding how this thing communicate… if you try to change the status, nothing appears in the Developer Tools: no error, no network traffic…

I’m improving… I recreated the structure of the response made by the 2 webservices.
I was able to automaticaly add a group. I’m trying to understand how to add a contact (it’s possible but I don’t know the structure).

By putting a breakpoint on Microsoft.Live.Core.Channel.js at line 399, I managed to see the message prepared to be sent to the server… the breakpoint is triggered if I change my status, change my status text, add a contact, … I just need to know why this message go nowhere…

Continue to dig, it seems the actual sending is done through an iframe which is on the page and the Javascript postMessage function.

Messages are queued in array MLC._MLCC$5.$B, are processed by function MLC._MLCC$5.$20 (Microsoft.Live.Core.Channel.js, line 354). They are then sent to the iframe by window.postMessage. The iFrame is supposed to grab this message and do the actual sending to the server: this is, for the moment, the non-working part.

Actually, I discovered the link I posted earlier doesn’twork for people except me. So, I created a test page:

http://crealya.fr/wlwtb/test1/messengerbar.php

It dontains the Messenger Bar. I only tried it in Chrome. You click the “Sign In” button at the bottom right. In the window which opens, you also click the “Sign In” button. The page will reload and the bar will appear with a user logged in.

WORK 1: If someone knows how to refresh the bar after the sign in completed instead of reloading the whole page.
WORK 2: If someone understand (thanks to the preivous information) why the iframe doesn’t do anything with the message it receives…
