Logging In

To login to the MXit server you will need to connect to stream.mxit.co.za on port 9119.
You will then need to send the following:

 ln=LEN\000id=NUMBER\000cm=1\000ms=PIN\001JAVAENV\0011\001FEATURES\001CLIENTID\001255\00127\000cr=REVISION

LEN - Length of message
NUMBER - The number you used to register. Should be in this format: 27831234567
PIN - Pin code you registered with (sent in plaintext)
JAVAENV - E-5.0.3-J-j2me, this depends on your phone's java engine/emulator - I think each .jar file has a unique code.
FEATURES - can be blank - have also seen: dist=E;ver=5.0.3;cat=J;platform=j2me;width=180;height=196;cols=4096;maxmsg=150000;features=255;ctypes=3;dmem=215;fmem=986
CLIENTID - This code is randomly generated by the MXit server when you download their client (it's in the jad file). Once a CLIENTID is associated with a phone number you can not use it for another one. Each user has to get their own CLIENTID from the MXit website before registering with the transport.
REVISION - Currently 'wipe'. The client should store the last value seen from the splash message, and use it here.

You should then receive your contact list as well as your IP address and a timestamp of the login.

NOTE: I don't have an example. Please add one.

Unsuccessful logins are given an error code and a message:

40 => MXit servers are very busy
??? => Incorrect Pin number
??? => Wrong Version
??? => Could not be validated
99 => Not registered

Logging Out

To logout send this message to the server:

 ln=LEN\000id=NUMBER\000cm=2\000ms=0

LEN - Length of message
NUMBER - The number you used to register.
