[Freeswitch-users] Skypopen failure ?

[ThunderZ]

Old skype client still work, even though it takes a long time to connect 
the first time.  Once it connects via the GUI interface, it does connect 
fast subsequently.

However, it looks like the way mod_skypopen using a predefined set of 
skype configuration files are not working anymore (or maybe it required 
changes).  It would return an error "Server connection failed" every time.

It's probably better to do it the way siptosis does (which still works), 
i.e. configure each skype client via GUI, with no initial configuration 
files.   Prompt the user to allow "skypopen" api after login, advise 
users what options should be changed on the GUI interface.

Although it means much of the automated setup of mod_skypopen will no 
longer work, but at least it may allow new skype clients to be added.
