I think you got ejabberd SVN, not ejabberd 2 :)


> a) Enable HTTP-BIND

This tutorial includes some parts interesting for you:

Not possible exactly that, but quite close:

If you have
  /var/lib/www/test.xml

you can serve it in
  http://myejabberd.com:5280/web/test.xml

with this config:
{hosts, ["myejabberd.com"]}.
{listen, [
	...
	{5280, ejabberd_http, [
		{request_handlers, [
			{["web"], mod_http_fileserver}
		]}
	]}
]}.

{modules, [
	...
	{mod_http_fileserver, [
		{docroot, "/var/lib/www"},
		{accesslog, "/var/log/ejabberd/webaccess.log"}
	]}
]}.
