[ Using telepathy-gabble-0.15.4 ]

Forwarded from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671660

The wireless network in a coffee shop I went to uses some sort of captive
portal to get access.
When the system gets connected to such a network, *before* I log in in the
captive portal, telepathy tries to connect my Google account to the XMPP
server.
Apparently the auth client gets confused though, and I get a lot of dialogs
asking me if I want to accept the certificate, which in this case is coming
*from the captive portal*.

I think there are multiple bugs here:
- I should never get an auth client dialog for a certificate which doesn't come
from the XMPP server itself
- After I dismiss the dialog (with Continue IIRC) I get it again and again
after a bit, since obviously I am not really connected to any public network
and connection keeps failing. It should not retry connection in a row like that
though
- I think ideally I should never ever get an auth dialog like that at all for
GOA accounts (it's OK to get it if I'm connecting to a home/local/LUG server,
but never for Google or Windows Live)
