    Dude, try using the right HTTP Access method. You might use GET to access it, when the method might not be supported. But this error seems to be from the Server Side, I meant, Facebook's. So you gotta wait until those people there fix it... ๐Ÿ˜

    @Praveen didn't get you.
    Look i am using SMTP protocol to create a messenger.I have done with gtalk using the server "talk.gmail.com".But when i want to do this with facebook it will show the error what i mentioned above.
    .
    I am using "chat.facebook.com" as a server.

    Look at the above picture.
    Just ping for the "chat.facebook.com" you may see jabber protocols are there which is used in most of the websites to provide online chatting like gtalk,yahoo,facebook.

    I guess it is kinda giving a HTTP 301 Status buddy... ๐Ÿ˜ฒ So, for sure it doesn't work... Only 200 Works... ๐Ÿ˜€

    Its a client request right? If so, do this... Open the site in Firefox, and keep Net tab in Firebug opened. Post what is the HTTP Response. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Anything other than HTTP 200 doesn't work!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ So, make sure you are getting 200. Sometimes, it goes like 301 and 302 too!

    I am using XMPP(extensible messaging and presence protocol).
    I haven't used http protocol anywhere.

    Oh oh... Fine... Somehow track the HTTP Requests... Coz, XMPP is through HTTP right?
