mod_http_pre_bind for ejabberd.
When using anonymous users the authentication process through BOSH can take a second or two. These seconds can be saved by doing all of the authentication and bosh session setup on one call. mod_http_pre_bind does this and returns a jid, sid, and rid of a valid BOSH session.
It requires mod_http_bind. Modifications are needed to src/web/ejabberd_http_bind.erl. The start, http_get, http_put, handle_session_start, and prepare_response functions need to be made public in the module code. This prebind module simply calls those functions to initiate and handle a session.
To build run the build.sh script and install the resulting beam files in your ejabberd ebin directory.
Install both in ejabberd.cfg.
