	AIM - Protocolinfo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Oscar is the official AIM protocol created by AOL, and all official AIM clients use Oscar.
		Oscar is a closed protocol, unlike TOC; AOL has never released any specifications on Oscar, which means that all of our knowledge about Oscar comes from reverse engineering.
		Because TOC is not the official AIM protocol, and no official client has ever used TOC (with the exception of TiK), in addition to not keeping up with the official protocol in terms of functionality, TOC's usability has actually deteriorated since it was released.

	OSCAR protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		OSCAR is AOL's instant messaging and presence information protocol standing for Open System for CommunicAtion in Realtime.
		Currently OSCAR is in use for AOL's two main instant messenging systems: ICQ and AIM.
		Large parts of the protocol are nowadays understood after reverse-engineering the protocol, implemented by an ever-increasing number of clients.

	AIM, OSCAR and Tic/Toc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		OSCAR uses TCP and has a special header for all its commands called a FLAP (if this is an acronym, no one has bothered to define it).
		By reading the PROTOCOL file included with TiK, which is claimed to contain all the information anyone needs to write a client, it is clear that AOL expended no special effort to make writing clients an easy process (or to make their documentation grammatical).
		It is worth noting that although the protocol only mentions HTML for use in info and away messages, it is commonly used and interpreted in normal messages.

		No official documentation exists for the OSCAR protocol, so it had to be figured out by analyzing traffic generated by AOL's official AOL Instant Messenger client.
		OSCAR screennames are case and whitespace insensitive, and if you do something like "$buddy = new Net::OSCAR::Screenname "Matt Sachs"" instead of "$buddy = "Matt Sachs"", this will be taken care of for you when you use the string comparison operators (eq, ne, cmp, etc.) HISTORY * 0.08, 2001-09-07 * Totally rewritten buddylist handling.

	TOC Protocol FAQ
		The TOC protocol is a high level abstraction of the OSCAR protocol.
		The TOC protocol is entirely string based while the OSCAR protocol is binary based.
		Since the TOC protocol is entirely string based there are NO network byte ordering problems, while the OSCAR protocol will require careful packaging of data.

	AOL Instant Messenger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The standard protocol that AIM clients use to communicate is called OSCAR.
		AOL has continually changed the details of the OSCAR protocol to keep third-party clients such as Trillian from working properly.
		While there are a variety of alternate single protocol clients, one might also consider using a multi-protocol client if the need arises to use AIM simultaneously with another chat service.

		In 1973, Marlon Brando turned down his best actor Oscar for The Godfather in protest at the plight of native Americans, and sent as his representative one "Sacheen Littlefeather, president of the National Native American Affirmative Action Committee".
		In fact, most pronouncements at the Oscars have been to do with internal Hollywood politics, especially censorship and the long shadow of the McCarthyite fllist, when numerous left-leaning artists were effectively thrown into exile.

	Why are seemingly no IM clients compatible with each other for anything other than simple chat? \| Ask MetaFilter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Oscar is a closed protocol which implements all of the functionality available in AIM.
		AOL considers Oscar proprietary technology, and makes no effort to allow non-AOL clients to use it (since they want you to use their own client).
		When Oscar is supported in a third-party client, it is because some developers have reverse-engineered the binary Oscar protocol and implemented it themselves.

	Trillian Discussion Forums - TOC for Trillian?
		Oscar is the full-featured closed AOL IM protocol used by it's official clients (including the Linux version of AIM).
		Since the Oscar protocol is closed and proprietary, AOL may change it at any time, even if it disconnects third-party clients like Trillian.
		Yep having TOC as a backup protocol would be very good that way one would not have to revert to the aim client.

		Although the protocol was never open, there have been several groups which have attempted to reverse-engineer it.
		The protocol supports two-way conversations, multi-way conversations, presence information/updates for contacts, contact properties (based on attributes in the directory), custom status messages, auto replies, and privacy management.
		Oscar is now the protocol that most Gaim users use (as witnessed by the outcries on Slashdot when it stops working).

		The goal of this project is to comprehensively document the OSCAR protocol, both its data structures and its behavior.
		I would say at the moment, 25% of the protocol is documented thoroughly, another 10% is documented a little bit, and the rest has not been documented at all yet.
		As always, the OSCAR documentation project is looking for contributors who are familiar with the OSCAR protocol.

		OSCAR uses an MD5-based challenge/response system for authentication so that the password is never sent in plaintext over the network.

		The first is to call the do_one_loop method, which performs a "select" call on all the object's sockets and reads incoming commands from the OSCAR server on any connections which have them.
		Using a hash to pass the parameters to this function is preferred - the old method is deprecated.
		This is very rough, but it's a good way for the lazy to determine whether or not to bother passing the alert on to their users.

		The AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) is an ad-supported instant messaging and presence computer program, published by AOL, which uses the OSCAR instant messaging protocol and the TOC protocol.
		AOL often changes the details of the OSCAR protocol, which tends to keep third-party clients from working properly.
		AOL is beta testing Triton, an overhauled version of the AIM client, which has many of the features from the popular third party plug-ins, including tabbed messages and AIM logging.
