mlOscar 0.9.0
mlOscar is an OCaml library that facilitates the encoding/decoding of
the AOL OSCAR protocol. Networking functionality is available to
enable access to the AIM network.
It has been tested using OCaml 3.07. It probably works on other
versions, as well.
The library doesn't handle full 32-bit values correctly on 32-bit
systems (the most
significant bit is lost). Fortunately, OSCAR doesn't rely on the
most significant bit in most (all?) situations [that matter].
Also, the bug is easily fixed by using the Int32 datatype.
Unfortunately, I don't feel like fixing this any time soon.
The IP address of the aim server is hard-coded into the library.
Ideally a DNS lookup should be used. The capability of specifying an
alternate server would be nice.
Documentation
The API reference can be found here. To
understand how it works, take a look at the sample program.
The following example program is included to demonstrate the use of the
library:
buddydump - small program that logs on, dumps buddy list
information to the screen until the user types "q". A cursory
examination of the source will reveal how to handle and generate
various interesting events (such as message typing notification,
sending messages, processing server acknowledgments, etc.)
