Unknown HTTP error on Pidgin Facebook

dummy@example.com (amc252) — Tue, 30 May 2023 17:22:28 +0000

Hello,

DISCLAIMER: This is not a Devuan specific issue but, since there are so many knowledgeable people here, I'm hoping someone can help me shed some light on this problem.

Recently I have been experiencing a strange problem with Pidgin.
When I try to connect to Facebook (I use purple-facebook) I get the error message: Unknown HTTP error
There isn't any reference number and, if I launch Pidgin from the terminal, doesn't get any error output either.
This happens on Devuan Chimaera, Debian Testing, and I even tried a live Fedora 35 iso.
I also tried different facebook accounts with the same result.
However, this doesn't happen 100% of the time, and very occasionally it connects fine.
I have been using the same setup for a long time, and never had any problem.
The system is up to date, and I use the latest purple-facebook library.
If I use a browser, I can access my facebook account without any problem and haven't noticed any trouble with other connections.

Any suggestions as to how address this issue?
