Strophe connection issue with openfire and bosh

I have used the example from crossdomain to connect to my local openfire xmpp service. Just changes the BOSH url to accomodate my local openfire service.

What I tested so I know openfire itself works. I can successfully connect with Pidgin.

(The site runs within jetty)

The (actual) openfire installation runs on localhost

The strophe javascript gets executed after the form is submitted form field: #jid = 'admin@localhost' form field: #pass = 'mypassword'

The functions rawInput and rawOutput are omitted they are simply logging what is transferred.

var BOSH_SERVICE=http://localhost:8080/xmpp-bosh

function onConnect(status)
{
    if (status == Strophe.Status.CONNECTING) {
    log('Strophe is connecting.');
    } else if (status == Strophe.Status.CONNFAIL) {
    log('Strophe failed to connect.');
    $('#connect').get(0).value = 'connect';
    } else if (status == Strophe.Status.DISCONNECTING) {
    log('Strophe is disconnecting.');
    } else if (status == Strophe.Status.DISCONNECTED) {
    log('Strophe is disconnected.');
    $('#connect').get(0).value = 'connect';
    } else if (status == Strophe.Status.CONNECTED) {
    log('Strophe is connected.');
    connection.disconnect();
    }
}

$(document).ready(function () {
    connection = new Strophe.Connection(BOSH_SERVICE);
    connection.rawInput = rawInput;
    connection.rawOutput = rawOutput;

    $('#connect').bind('click', function () {
    var button = $('#connect').get(0);
    if (button.value == 'connect') {
        button.value = 'disconnect';

        connection.connect($('#jid').get(0).value,
                   $('#pass').get(0).value,
                   onConnect);
    } else {
        button.value = 'connect';
        connection.disconnect();
    }
    });
});

There is an error when connecting the example gives me the following log output:

Strophe is connecting.

Strophe failed to connect.
Strophe is disconnected.

Any ideas how to overcome this issue? ( have tested with pidgin IM and works )

Try enabling the Strophe debugging to see more log entries

Strophe.log = function(level, msg) {
    console.log(level + ' : ' + msg);
};

then check the Openfire's error, warn and even info logs.

You can probably overcome this issue by getting the Openfire developers to fix their BOSH implementation. (Or maybe just update your Openfire installation.)

The Server response is just wrong.

<body xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/httpbind' authid='' condition='remote-stream-error' inactivity='600' polling='10' requests='2' secure='false' sid='orw55e6kuyZ0F-CFgnxXWMzG' type='terminate' wait='60'>
    <starttls xmlns=''/>
    <mechanisms xmlns=''>
        <mechanism>DIGEST-MD5</mechanism>
        <mechanism>PLAIN</mechanism>
        <mechanism>CRAM-MD5</mechanism>
    </mechanisms>
    <compression xmlns=''>
        <method>zlib</method>
    </compression>
    <auth xmlns=''/>
    <register xmlns=''/>
</body>

These are contents of a stream:features tag inside of a body tag. The body tag has type='terminate', so it tells the client to close the connection, which Strophe does. Also, all namespaces are missing.

What Openfire SHOULD have sent is something like this:

<body xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/httpbind' xmlns:xmpp='urn:xmpp:xbosh' xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams' sid='0630f9b79631f5ecb66d26313d34ce227262cf5d' wait='60' requests='2' inactivity='30' maxpause='120' polling='2' ver='1.8' from='localhost' secure='false' authid='2869001480' xmpp:version='1.0'>
    <stream:features xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams'>
        <mechanisms xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl'>
            <mechanism>DIGEST-MD5</mechanism>
            <mechanism>PLAIN</mechanism>
            <mechanism>SCRAM-SHA-1</mechanism>
        </mechanisms>
        <compression xmlns=''>
            <method>zlib</method>
        </compression>
        <register xmlns='http://jabber.org/features/iq-register'/>
    </stream:features>
</body>

(stream:features inside of the body tag).

tl;dr StropheJS closing the connection is the expected behaviour, The BOSH plugin of your Openfire version is probably broken.
