Please unblock ejabberd 2.1.5-3
ejabberd 2.1.5-3 contains a backport for the upstream fix
for the bug reported in Debian as [1] (and upstream as [2]).
This bug completely prevents the usage of one of the available
communication methods for the server, http-poll, which is typically used
to connect through restrictive proxy servers not allowing the HTTP
CONNECT method to be used, hence I consider it important enough
to ask for unblocking.
The bug was reported by a user of the 2.1.5-2 backported
to Lenny, but this means the bug also affects Squeeze.
The fix is rather minimal, touches exactly one module (debdiff
attached).
