Openfire http prebinding with JAXL

Question

I am trying to implement converse.js in my project to use Openfire chat and am prebinding the user using JAXL. Its working fine on my cloud(VPS) server. when am try to publish the same code on my client server its not working. and getting the same problem when execute the same from my localhost. not working means prebind request remains (pending) for a while and ends with 500 internal server error.

we have checked the server configuration. seems to be fine. Can any one suggest me something to how to debug this one?

here is my jaxl config code.

$client = new JAXL(array(
  'jid'=>$un,
  'pass'=>$pwd,
  'bosh_url' => 'http://xx.xx.xx.xx/http-bind',
  'log_path' => __DIR__ . '/logs',
  'log_level' => JAXL_INFO,
  'strict' => false
));

Thanks in advance

The difference i have seen between different hosts are PHP versions and apache version. working server having PHP v5.3.3/Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS). i had PHP v5.4.7 on my local system. so I have downgraded my xampp to 1.7.4(PHPv5.3.5/Apache(2.2.17)). If i tried to access it from localhost am getting response as 200 OK with content-length as 0. any idea why its happening? — Jothi Sankar N Kanakavel, Nov 03 '14 at 08:33

At last we found the solution for this issue.
As i already mentioned in my comment the problem was caused of PHP versions

In JAXL

 #135 $changed = curl_multi_select($this->mch, 0.1);
        
 #137 if($changed == 0 && $running == 0) {

https://github.com/jaxl/JAXL/blob/v3.x/xep/xep_0206.php#L135

The curl_multi_select() function used there on line no #135 returning (-1) instead of (0) as the response when PHP versions are higher than 5.3.18

So i have changed the #137 as follows

#137 if(($changed == 0 || $changed == -1) && $running == 0) {

This thing fixes my problem.

Note: for PHP versions Greater than 5.3.x Do the migration check before using the JAXL in-to your project. The below link having a shell script to found inconveniences

Hope this could help someone on sometime.
