[JDEV] HTTP Proxy & Polling Applet not working.

[Tim Bolt]

Dear JDev List,

(Copy of message to JUSer List.)

I have just recently started trying to use Jabber 
at the suggestion of a friend.  Think it is great 
to be pushing for Open Standards IM & really want 
to stick with this format.  I am fine from home, 
however, I cannot use this from work, where we 
are behind an HTTP Proxy Server resting traffic 
to a Proxy server running on the 8080 port.


I have tried following the instructions at:
   1) http://mailman.jabber.org/pipermail/jdev/2002-April/011572.html
            (which references the page:   
         http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0025.html 
            that is a bit tough to get through!)
and
   2) http://a-message.de/webchat/exoduspolling

I did use jabber.com as the server, but I could 
never get a connection with either.

Putting the given URLs in a browser, the   
       http://webim.jabber.com/wc12/webclient/ page request returns:
"The document name you requested (/wc12/webclient/) could not be found on this server."  

       http://amessage.info:8080/jabber/JabberPollingServlet returns:
"The requested resource (/JabberPollingServlet) is not available."


Also, going to the base of the 
http://webim.jabber.com/wc12/ site, the on-line 
demo works in "Persistent WebClient", but not 
"Poll WebClient".

I have to think the HTTP proxy thing affects lots 
of users, so if someone could post the working 
configuration or in someway help me and my 
colleagues it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Yours,
Tim
