Subject: Problems with XMPP4R with Google Apps for your Domain account

I am having problems connecting (using the xmpp4r ruby api) to an
account on a 'Google Apps for your Domain' service.

I am able to connect to a standard gmail.com account (using
Jabber::Simple) fine, but when I try connecting to an account on the
alternative domain (let's call it domain.com), I have to use the non-
simple way of doing it so I can set up the JID properly, and I get an
error.

This is the method I'm having a problem with:

11	def initialize(username)
12		@username = username
13		@email = "#{@username}@glam.ac.uk"
14		@password = googlepassword 		(googlepassword is a method that
returns the unhashed user's password)
15
16		jid = JID::new(@email, "talk.google.com", "Glamlife")
17		cl = Client::new(jid)
18		cl.connect
19		cl.auth(@password)
20	end

I get this error:

Jabber::ClientAuthenticationFailure: closed stream
	from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/xmpp4r-0.5/lib/xmpp4r/client.rb:
118:in `auth'
	from /Users/mark/Sites/daughter/app/models/gtalk.rb:20:in
`initialize'
	from (irb):55:in `new'
	from (irb):55
	from :0

I have tried changing the cl.auth to cl.auth_nonsasl, to see if that
was the problem, and I get a different error:

IOError: closed stream
	from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/xmpp4r-0.5/lib/xmpp4r/stream.rb:

`initialize'
	from (irb):62:in `new'
	from (irb):62

If anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong (I don't really understand
all the authentication stuff!) I'd be extremely grateful for any
pointers.

Thanks,

Mark
