well, i've tried everything and it seems that http-bind is not working in 3.5.0

i'm using centos4   and 3.5.0 rpm..

any help or workaround??

thks a lot for your reply,

but what i'm trying to accomplish is to access remotely to sparkweb and login using only http port (80).

This is because from a lot of remote places i cannot access the 7070 port used.

What i've got at my apache config is:

ProxyPass /http-bind http://127.0.0.1:7070/http-bind

ProxyPassReverse /http-bind http://127.0.0.1:7070/http-bind

and at the index.html file is

server: "localhost",

             &n bsp;  location: window.location.href,

             &n bsp;  connectionType : "http",

             &n bsp;  port: "7070",

             &n bsp;  bindPath: "/http-bind/",

             &n bsp;  autologin: "false",

             &n bsp;  policyFileURL: "http://mychatserver/crossdomain.xml"

If i've got access to 7070 port from outside it works fine, but because it's making a direct tcp connection to this port, so this wouldn't be useful if i'm behind  a restrictive firewall like a lot of places have.

So i must be missing some configuration or the http-bind function is somehow broken in 3.5.0.... 

so in your config you don't need to open up a port different to 443?

because in my case with the config pointed in your thread i've got this when i've logged in the sparkweb client, 

using http and port 7070

sudo netstat -tupan | grep 7070

tcp        0      1 localip:57823     chatserverip:7070     SYN_SENT   9711/firefox-bin   

using https and port 7443

sudo netstat -tupan | grep 7443

tcp        0      1 localip:51037     chatserverip:7443     SYN_SENT   9711/firefox-bin   

If i enable any of this ports at my firewall i've got a succesful connection...

Ok.

After fiddling around a LOT i've managed to solve this issue.

The trick lies in the index.html file created for the sparkweb site, so here it goes:

index.html (you can get it accessing to the sparkweb site through the admin console and copying the index.jsp source)

Make sure your getConfig  function looks like this:

function jive_sparkweb_getConfig()

{

        return {

             &n bsp;  server: "yourpublichostnamesite",

             &n bsp;  location: window.location.href,

             &n bsp;  connectionType : "http",

             &n bsp;  port: "80",

             &n bsp;  bindPath: "/http-bind/",

             &n bsp;  autologin: "false",

             &n bsp;  policyFileURL: "http://yourpublichostnamesite/crossdomain.xml"

        };

The trick is the port number.  If you use anything else than 80 or 443 (both publicy accesible from outside and rarely blocked by firewalls or proxies) you'd have trouble with outside clients without complete internet access.

As apache is configured to make the proxypass or rewrite magic  the bindPath  line should make work sparkweb from outside.

Also note that the crossdomain file is accessible at the same site, this is needed by sparkweb (don't know why thou)

crossdomain.xml

<cross-domain-policy>

<allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="5222"/>

</cross-domain-policy>

Now for apache your VirtualHost should look like this:

<VirtualHost  yourlocalip:80>

    ServerAdmin webmaster@yourdomain

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/sparkweb/

   ServerName yourpublichostnamesite

ErrorLog logs/ourpublichostnamesite-error_log

    CustomLog logs/ourpublichostnamesite-access_log common

    <Directory /var/www/html/sparkweb/>

      Options +Multiviews

    </Directory>

     AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

    ProxyPass /http-bind/ http://127.0.0.1:7070/http-bind/

    ProxyPassReverse /http-bind/ http://127.0.0.1:7070/http-bind/

    ProxyRequests Off

    <Proxy *>

            Order deny,allow

            Allow from all

    </Proxy>

</VirtualHost>

At the admin console i've got enabled  http binding and bosch script enabled.

With this configuration you should be able to access your sparkweb using only 80 or 443 ports.

If you're using 443 you should redirect to the https binding port instead.

Hope this helps out there.
