I'm trying to set up prosody to work over https with candy. I've tried configuring SSL and all of the steps listed to get that working but for some reason when I try https://servername.com:5280/http-bind it times out with the following appearing in the prosody log:

server.lua: accepted new client connection from servername:23366 to 5280  
server.lua: accepted new client connection from servername:10667 to 5280  
server.lua: client servername:23366 read error: closed  
server.lua: closed client handler and removed socket from list

when I try to do the same via http it works: http://servername.com:5280/http-bind results in: "You really don't look like a BOSH client to me... what do you want?"

Note: In recent versions, Prosody serves HTTPS on port 5281 by default, so this reply is no longer relevant.

You are trying https on a http port. This will not work. You will probably need to configure SSL for that port or setup another with SSL. The page Setting up a BOSH server describes how to do this:

bosh_ports = {
                 {
                    port = 5280;
                    path = "http-bind";
                 },
                 {
                    port = 5281;
                    path = "http-bind";
                    ssl = {
                             key = "bosh.key";
                             certificate = "bosh.crt"; 
                          }
                 }
              }
