Looks like Facebook silently introduced encryption for chats in XMPP/Jabber clients (Pidgin, Adium, etc.): Its servers now support the use of TLS as defined in RFC 3920.
Facebook’s FAQs (1, 2) have not been updated accordingly yet.

Hi there,
how did you know they actually support TLS ? Have you tried it yourself ?
Thx,
Julien
I noticed that Adium suddenly showed a certificate for chat.facebook.com (Adium does TLS for XMPP even when ‘Require SSL/TLS’ is turned off but the server supports it) and took a look at the raw XML.
ok. thanks.

i can’t u’stand its format and which part of access token need to put in coding.
