application crashes when using BOSHConnection

[maignacio]

Basically... BOSHConnection's connect() method crashes the application with the following error

here's my code:

BOSHConfiguration config = new BOSHConfiguration(true, "host", 80, "/http-bind", "domain");

config.setReconnectionAllowed(true);
config.setSendPresence(false);
Connection connection = new BOSHConnection(config);
try {
    connection.connect();
    connection.login("user", "password");
} catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

I'm seeing the same issue.

Looks like there is an upstream bug with a possible workaround:
http://kenai.com/jira/browse/JBOSH-24

Same here. I were able to use Bosh with changes suggested in JBOSH-24 issue. Here is my patch
