problems with SLeek anyone can hep?

Hi my mate is on dial up and wants to access SL so we thought SLeek would be a good way, but when she tried to log in she gets this error anyone got any ideas why and how to fix this?

error retrieving the login response from the server

any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

There may be something about the avatar's inventory skeleton (too much of it?) that prevents it being parsed correctly by libsl. The problem was addressed in a recent version (of libsecondlife.dll)

I'm not sure if you can just replace the dll. Would you like me to try to compile SLeek with the latest libsl code?

Wow, I took a look around the SLeek users community at http://groups.google.com/group/sleek-secondlife and got the impression people have been waiting many months for this to be fixed!

I updated SLeek to use the current libsl trunk. I can't tell you how good it felt to see all those compile errors and actually know how to fix them!

I don't know jack about versioning so I just took the version numbers off... maybe this will help encourage Delta to pick the project back up soon

Let us know how it works out!

HI, first thankyou so much! she tried this version and has got a different error now any ideas?

the request was aborted: The request was canceled

Drat I mentioned this last night and one of the libsl guys said it sounded like an HTTP error... but I don't know for sure

these errors sound more like a connection issue.
perhaps because its dial-up, the connection time out sephamore value in the compiled code for sleek may be too short, it could also be the time out sephamore on the server as well (not likely), but i tend to think its in the compiled code of the sleek client.
even if that is not the case, the time it takes to download inventory and fill the contact list (if you have a large contact list) among other things will saturate the already slow connection which may cause it to timeout.
i cant really see a viable use for the inventory on sleek, perhaps a different client made for dialup without the use of inventory, strictly for the contact list and instant messages may help.

the account is a brand new one so as far as inventory is concerned there isnt much. She has never been able to get into SL cos of dial up ... you think its possible to get her in on sleek? are these problems something ppl can work around to fix?

I looked around Google for the error, it looks like it's an exception thrown by part of the HttpWebRequest class, which libsl does use now for login. I saw some people were getting around the problem by setting the timeout to infinite, so I guess it's worth a try...

This is with the login request's timeout set to infinite.

Others fixed the problem by disabling KeepAlive, but it looks like libsl is already disabling KeepAlive.

I'm kinda sorry I don't have the problem and can't test whether it works myself Lindens, I don't mean anything by it!

One might try the web clients.
