XMPP chat : Candy won't work with Ejabberd server

Question

I want to setup a web chat client. I decided to use Candy. The XMPP server I'm using is Ejabberd. My Ejabberd server is local. The URL is :

http://localhost:5280/

Users are defined like this :

user@localhost

The thing is I can't connect to this server using Candy out of the box while I can connect to it with simple strophejs functions on my phone.

I compared the packets that were sent to the server and they are exactly the same :

• On my phone using Wireshark :

• The console log when I'm connecting with Candy :

The screen is pending on "Connecting..."

What can be the reason that I can't connect to the server ? Is there something I have to configure in ejabberd.cfg ?

Thanks for help

Answer 1

The default URL for BOSH on ejabberd is /http-bind

When configuring your BOSH client you should point to that directory on the correct web URL, not the ejabberd service root.

Using http://example.net:5280/http-bind as BOSH URL in your Web client configuration should work.
