punjab can't connect to outside services

Question

I've installed punjab with (python 2.7.2).

To further ensure SRV isn't the issue, I've included:

connect_srv = False

in punjab.tac.

The server seems to start fine, and I can access :5280/http-bind but any connection I try to make fails. It seems to be a DNS issue, but I've verified the server can see jabber.org (via ping). Here are logs from startup to attempting a login to a jabber.org account:

Answer 1

I guess you need SRV records for your server.

Some general info here. A workaround if you use localhost without a proper DNS here.

Answer 2

Try to add this line in punjab.tac for a right DNS looking

bosh.connect_srv = False

just after this line

bosh = HttpbService(1)

An restart punjab like this

twistd -y punjab.tac
