[BOSH] Discovering BOSH

[Sonny Piers]

Hi,

Is there any particular reason for having no mechanism for discovering 
if an XMPP server as a BOSH service available and started?

As a web client user I would prefer the client to use the BOSH service 
available on my XMPP server.

As a web client developer/administrator I would prefer users being able 
to use their own BOSH service because I don't want mine being overloaded.

It seems BOSH has been designed to be used as a "middleware" but I would 
prefer it to be seen as a new connection method.
I guess it's the way Ejabberd and Prosody see it since they don't allow 
external account to connect on their BOSH service.

Of course being able to deploy a generic BOSH service for users with 
server that doesn't implement it is great but this is not a relevant 
solution for public XMPP web client.

Thanks.
