I tested that older Beta one. I tried and it’s crash and show 80048821 error.
SSL 2 and 3 also disabled. HOST redirects are 35.185.200.209 muser.messenger.hotmail.com 35.185.200.209 omega.contacts.msn.com 35.185.200.209 muser.config.messenger.msn.com
EXE is modified, changed URLS: messenger.hotmail.com changed to m1.escargot.log1p.xyz https://rsi.hotmail.com/rsi/rsi.asmx is changed to https://ersih.log1p.xyz/rsi/rsi.asmx
https://ows.messenger.msn.com/OimWS/oim.asmx is changed to https://eowsmsgrmsn.log1p.xyz/OimWS/oim.asmx
Using Escargot msidcrl40.dll too.
Here is the screenshot:
I decided to take the liberty of testing three more builds: 0328, 0363, and 0562. The first two builds suffer the same problem 0290 has (crashes before even authenticating and uses encrypted RST), but 0562 is similar to build 0566, in that it logs in with RST redirects and Escargot patches, and that with Escargot patches, it immediately crashes while still in-session, but with RST redirects, it authenticates. This time, instead of staying on the login screen when using RST, it actually loads the contact list (albeit from a different domain, at omega.contacts.msn.com).
Overall, it isn’t different from how the final WLM 8 works (aside from not using tkrdr.storage.msn.com, to my knowledge), but the contact add window doesn’t work for some reason. Haven’t tested messaging yet, but that’ll be looked into later.
Again, you have to HOSTS redirect muser.messenger.hotmail.com and omega.contacts.msn.com to the IP of the Escargot server, and then patch msidcrl40.dll as normal.
Basically, yes, patching instructions are similar to 8.x’s.
We should investigate the whole msnmsgr.exe in the hex editor to see for any simillar links as a lot of links that are in the 8 patching instructions aren’t there. Such as http://config.messenger.msn.com/Config/MsgrConfig.asmx , which doesn’t appear when i find it via CTRL+F. You didn’t answer though, what’s that version? 8.0.???

AFAIK RSI and OIMWS are the same in these beta builds. config.messenger.msn.com is muser.config.messenger.msn.com, messenger.hotmail.com is muser.messenger.hotmail.com, and right now I haven’t found any TKRDR URLs in the beta builds.
Theoretically, adding contacts should work, but there’s a bug in the AddressBook system within Escargot that doesn’t add it to the list of contacts in the store (the actual entry is added though, I assume).
Again, it’s build 0562, and it’s not really patched. I just used a bunch of redirects that went back to my local server (from the branch feature/wlm2009 on the GitLab repo). Specifically, I redirected:
muser.messenger.hotmail.com
login.live.com (for RST; make sure you remove any entries for this as Microsoft still uses this domain for Microsoft services)
muser.config.messenger.msn.com (for tabs and other ancillary features; not necessary to redirect but it’s there if you want)
omega.contacts.msn.com (Byrdr in the beta stage)
These all pointed to 127.0.0.1, or localhost, for the purpose of testing with the local server. There’s no point of trying it with the public server since no RST handler exists on there, but if you have time to set up to your own local server (feature/wlm2009 has the latest changes, FYI), then go for it.
Also, the msidcrl file I used is the one that comes with the build.
