I'm trying to get push notifications working with ejabberd and I found this link here: https://github.com/diamondbybold/ejabberd_mod_offline_post where it should make a POST request at a URL for offline messages. I edited my ejabberd.yml file to include the URL and token, however, I'm running into some issues when trying to run it on Ejabberd 16.12. It runs, but I send a message to someone offline, I'm seeing the following error in /var/log/ejabberd/error.log

Inside of mod_offline_post.erl, I have this function:
offline_message(From, To, Packet) ->
Type = fxml:get_tag_attr_s(<<"type">>, Packet),
Body = fxml:get_path_s(Packet, [{elem, list_to_binary("body")}, cdata]),
Token = gen_mod:get_module_opt(To#jid.lserver, ?MODULE, auth_token, fun(S) -> iolist_to_binary(S) end, list_to_binary("")),
PostUrl = gen_mod:get_module_opt(To#jid.lserver, ?MODULE, post_url, fun(S) -> iolist_to_binary(S) end, list_to_binary("")),
if
(Type == <<"chat">>) and (Body /= <<"">>) ->
Sep = "&",
Post = [
"type=chat", Sep,
"to=", To#jid.luser, Sep,
"from=", From#jid.luser, Sep,
"body=", binary_to_list(Body), Sep,
"access_token=", Token
],
?INFO_MSG("Sending post request to ~s with body \"~s\"", [PostUrl, Post]),
httpc:request(post, {binary_to_list(PostUrl), [], "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", list_to_binary(Post)},[],[]),
ok;
true ->
ok
end.
It seemed like people were able to solve their issues by changing xml to fxml in later version, but it didn't look like it made a difference in my case.
If anyone has an idea on how I can solve this or any suggestions for a different way of achieving push notifications, please let me know. Thanks
