On the XBMC Wiki they say the HTTP API is no longer available. Use the JSON RPC 
interface instead.

I have this problem too in my raspberry pi raspbmc.

"Note that if you’re using an Android or iOS remote, some may not work, as 
the HTTP API is now deprecated in XBMC. You can revert your build via Raspbmc 
Settings though."
