Http-bind [] Need a little hand holding to get my code happening

I’'m trying to learn enough to write some interface scripts

for wildfire/openfire . After reading the specs for the zillionth time

and googling myself to death, I’'m turning to you all to help me understand ther errors in my

ways.

Below is the current dump of my HTTP-BIND transactions. I’'m getting

some way into it , but still not yet getting the expected results.

It would be nice once I do figure it out to post a nice blow by blow tutorial

outlining what I’‘ve learned. But heres where I’‘m at. I’'ve tried passing the login as plain text , base64

and other permutations and I’'m just stuck.

I don’‘t see any obvious problem. Unfortunately, Alex (the guy that implemented http bind) is out of town on vacation. One suggestion I’'d have is to download the SparkWeb beta plugin and examine the traffic that it sends back and forth to the server. Maybe that will give you some good clues in the short term.

That’'s sorta a bummer for an initial response.

I was sorta hoping for a “Dah you forgot XXX and a smiling back hand”

On the other hand it does feel good not to be stupid out the box, however it

does leave me with the task to solve.

I’'ll look into the sparweb tool. So your saying that the sparkweb tool has a break out feature

or that I should use one of my other tools to monitor it’'s traffic?

TIA

Well, just to qualify my answer, it’‘s very possible that Alex could look at the protocol flow and know the issue in 10 seconds, heh. Sparkweb doesn’'t have a debug feature that I know, but you should be able to use a tool like Firebug or an http proxy to look at all the protocol traffic between the client and server.

Hey Drclue:

Notice any errors in the openfire error logs? My guess is that openfire is is clossing the session for some reason and the client isn’'t being notified.

Thanks,

Alex
