I’ve researched this carefully.
From old forum posts and the source, I see that the bosh http service is intended serve files from resources/spank/. (It’s a simple way to deliver a javascript chat client, e.g. http://openfire-host:7070/jschat.html, especially on a localhost development setup.) And resources/spank/index.html is still there, but http://openfire-host:7070/index.html returns an error.
I believe this change to HttpBindManager.java disabled the feature accidentally:

That file’s rev history:

Thanks for writing a great open source app!
