Your server would need to support JEP-25 in order for you to use the HTTP
polling stuff. I don't think the Jive server has this functionality (of course,
I could be wrong). Otherwise, you _MAY_ be able to use the HTTP CONNECT trick
(it needs to be supported by your proxy). In order to try this, goto Tools |
Options and configure the HTTP proxy appropriate for your network. Then goto the
Login dialog, and click the details button. Select the "Proxy" tab, and select
HTTP.

Exodus should try and use the HTTP CONNECT method to connect to your jabber
server thru the proxy. Good luck. :)
