Make sure to use HTTPS when utilizing node-xmpp-bosh, as only HTTP is supported

Overview

I have been using converse.js as my XMPP webclient. In order for it to function properly, I require a bosh server that can handle bidirectional communication. The current server I am using is node-xmpp-bosh. However, due to the SSL/TLS encryption on my website which is only accessible via https, connecting to the bosh server requires encrypted communication. Regrettably, node-xmpp-bosh does not support SSL/TLS.

Inquiry

Is there a way to redirect the traffic to enable SSL/TLS connection? Or do I need to find an alternative bosh server to accommodate my needs?

Answer №1

After a few hours...feeling joyful once again :)

I've found the solution to my issue by routing the traffic to the bosh server through a proxy. Currently, I'm using this VirtualHost configuration on Apache:

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName bosh.domain.tld
    ServerAlias www.bosh.domain.tld

    ServerAdmin <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c7a6a3aaaea987a3a8aaa6aea9e9b3aba3">[email protected]</a>

    <Proxy *>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Proxy>

    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:5280/http-bind/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:5280/http-bind/


    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld/cert.pem
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld/privkey.pem
    SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld/chain.pem
    SSLVerifyClient None
    # HSTS (mod_headers is required) (15768000 seconds = 6 months)
    Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000"
</VirtualHost>
