Now with the newly announced node-xmpp-bosh (NXB) my first tests left me with the impression that this thing is pretty speedy to what I am used to. So I decided to do some quick benchmarks on different implementations of BOSH. I did these tests on my desktop (some intel core 2 duo with 2,4 GHz [...]
Unfortunately the last version of JSJaC (v1.3.3) released just some days ago contained some serious bugs regarding handling of xmlns attributes and namespaces correctly. It was introduced by a fix for IE9 which caused other browsers to fail. So if you’re using JSJaC v1.3.3 and your app deals with accessing elements identified by namespaces you’re [...]
Thought it’s about time to release all the little fixes and patches I’ve collected over the years for JSJaC and here it is: JSJaC 1.3.3! Along with innumerable bug fixes it contains fixes for IE 9 and two new functions which allow to implement your own data store when suspending or resuming a BOSH session. [...]

Firefox as of version 3.0.6 seems to not allow reading cookies from HTTP headers when doing AJAX requests. As a consequence JSJaC’s HTTP Polling backend can’t work correctly anymore and breaks usage of MUCkl and JWChat with this version of Firefox. If your site is affected please consider switching to HTTP Binding (aka BOSH) which [...]
When integrating a web chat (like JWChat) into your existing community most likely you don’t want to have your users sign in a second time just for the chat. A possible solution to this problem domain is to let your web server handle BOSH session instantiation and xmpp authentication. Once successfull you can pass the [...]
If your ejabberd seems to leak memory it might result out of this bug in erlang’s mnesia database. You can easily find out by starting a remote shell to your running ejabberd and whatch results for the following command: lists:foldl(fun(Tab, Acc) -> ets:info(Tab, memory) * 8 + Acc end, 0, ets:all()). The bug is fixed [...]
Debian (and ubuntu) packages for ejabberd don’t contain drivers for mysql. If you want to connect your ejabberd to mysql you need to get those drivers separately from the external ejabberd modules repository and compile them on your own. For convenience I’ve built a debian package containing the precompiled modules: ejabberd-mysql-20090114_1-2_all.deb Note: this package is [...]
After releasing JSJaC and MUCkl today I’m proud to announce another long awaited release: JWChat v1.0. JWChat is a web based yet full fledged jabber client. It supports most modern browsers like MSIE 6 and 7, Firefox 2.x, Firefox 3.x, Opera, Safari and many more. Just like meebo you can do instant messaging with a [...]
A new release of MUCkl is available. MUCkl is a lightweight spin off project of JWChat. It offers web based access to Jabber/XMPP groupchats/conferences based on the MUC protocol without having to register for a jabber account (just enter your nickname and off you go!). This release mainly fixes support for Firefox 3 plus some [...]
