using the answer of my previous question and another post I tried to implement facebook-chat from a browser. Here is what I did:
- on an ubuntu virtual machine, I have python 2.6.5, python-twisted-conch 1:10.0.0-2, python-twisted-names 10.0.0-1, python-twisted-web 10.0.0-1 and python-twisted-words 10.0.0-2 already installed. I did not install jabberd2 server, I assumed facebook server is the Jabber/XMPP server in my case. Also I did not install pyopenssl.
- downloaded and untared punjab from here
- run it using the following command
user@ubunto: sudo twistd punjab
sometimes it tells that the process is already running under PID xxx but most times the reply was
Removing stale pidfile /home/user/twistd.pid
Does this mean that punjab is running?
In the punjab.tac file, according to this post I change the root.putChild line to
root.putChild('bosh', b)
On the other hand, I have an apache server running on the host computer (windows xp) to host my webpage that uses Strophe. In the apache config file httpd.conf, I proxy the BOSH requests to punjab at port 5280 using:
<IfModule proxy_http_module> ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass /bosh http://ubunto_ipAddress:5280/bosh ProxyPassReverse /bosh http://ubunto_ipAddress:5280/bosh </IfModule>
Note that the host and the virtual machine are bridged, so both get their IP address from the router and each one can ping the other. I also didn't install a jabber/xmpp server, or
For testing, I use the basic example of strophe as my webpage basic.html and basic.js with JID: FB_username@chat.facebook.com & password: FB_password.
I get the following:
Strophe is connecting. SENT: <body rid='1709425072' xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/httpbind' to='chat.facebook.com' xml:lang='en' wait='60' hold='1' content='text/xml; charset=utf-8' ver='1.6' xmpp:version='1.0' xmlns:xmpp='urn:xmpp:xbosh'/> Strophe is disconnecting.
Is there anything wrong or missing? Please help since I am not finding real documentation other than some posts concerning this issue. Thanks
