Do you plan to support the JSON syntax in the future?

ejabberd's http_bind code was implemented by Stefan Strigler (the author of JWChat, MUCkl...), and was sponsored by Mabber. You can ask him.

I need to extend the http-bind module to support JSON(javascript) syntax.
Basically, I need ejabberd to listen to a GET request and reply with JSON syntax which is the same as returning a javascript file.

Is the right way to do it is using the ejabberd HTTP request handlers?

If you take a look at the code, mod_http_bind uses the request handler: if it receives a POST, it calls ejabberd_http_bind. If it receives a GET, it returns a simple HTML page.

If you want the same URI .../http-bind/ to serve both HTTP-Bind and your JSON stuff, then you need to extend the existing mod_http_bind file.

However, if you want that your JSON stuff is served in another URI, like .../http-json/, then you don't need to modify the existing code at all. You can simply write a new ejabberd module, with a new request handler, etc. Of course, you can copy existing code to your module if that helps you.
