We built a flash application using XIFF XMPP to integrate with Facebook chat.
Problem is we found out a lot of firewalls out there do not allow Jabber (ports 5222, 5221).
So I was wondering if anyone tried to set-up a BOSH implementation (or something else) as a proxy to Facebook's chat for clients who are blocked by a firewall.
Thanks

How about PunJab?
PunJab is a HTTP jabber client interface. It is a BOSH connection manager that
allows persistent client connections to a XMPP server.
Actually facebook xmpp chat works even with port 443

I have a chat app having web service installed on tomcat server, ejabberd as XMPP server. Right now i am using strophe.js on client side to directly communicate with ejabberd server for chatting purpose.
Is this correct chat app design ? or shall I send chat through tomcat server so that xmpp server is not accessible directly from client side ? Can anyon suggest a better design ?
You should connect your clients directly to ejabberd (or through a proxy like NGinx). ejabberd is designed to receive lot of traffic directly and using Tomcat as proxy will not be scalable and is not recommended.
It works perfectly for Openfire Server. If anyone can suggest what is the way out to connect to Facebook through Strophe. We are using Punjab server as a standalone BOSH connection manager.
Facebook closed their XMPP chat API: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat
I am creating chat application that will connect to facebook chat via XMPP. I installed eJabberd server, and, I am looking for a way to to hook to messages that comes from the client in order to add the access token and the api key/secret to the message before I am sending it to facebook, and I can't figure out how to do it, is it via one of the pre defined ejabber modules, or I need to develop one?
** I can connect with pidgin to facebook xmpp using the eJabberd server I installed.
Thanks.
I try to develop a web client gtalk in my http server.I know what I should do is just using the strophe.js which could send the xmpp message to xmpp server. I don't want to build my own xmpp server which connect to gtalk xmpp server.I think it may no need to build xmpp server as a transport.
But the gtalk xmpp server has no http-binding,so what should I do to send my http message to gtalk xmpp server? And if I send the http message to talk.google.com:5222,will it reply to me? Is it possible to make the connection between me and gtalk xmpp server?
I need your help.Thanks!
Gtalk server does not run a BOSH connection manager, so you would have to use a standalone one, like Punjab, for example.
After installing and running Punjab, you can have a HTTP-Bind at http://localhost:5280/xmpp-httpbind. Use your Strophe with it.
How can I login different gateways like google and yahoo using xmpp framework. I am using openfire server. Thanks in advance
GTalk uses Xmpp, so you can chat between gtalk and openfire users using s2s federation (which should be on by default in openfire). Yahoo is it's own protocol and you'd need the IM gateway plug-in for openfire. However that seems to be deprecated and instead there is now the standalone IM gateway, Kraken, which should do what you want
