Random HTTP ERROR: 400

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I am using converse.js 3.0.2 (same happens in 2.0.6) with OpenFire 4.1.3.

Converse is initialized like:

converse.initialize({
        authentication: 'prebind',
        keepalive: true,
        hide_muc_server: true,
        auto_reconnect: true,
        bosh_service_url: '{{ chat.bosh }}',
        show_controlbox_by_default: false,
        allow_muc_invitations: false,
        jid: '{{ chat.session.jid }}',
        sid: '{{ chat.session.sid }}',
        rid: '{{ chat.session.rid }}',
        auto_join_rooms: [{jid: '{{ chat.room }}', nick: '{{ app.user.username }}'}]
    });

It works fine, but in some cases I get responses like:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
<title>Error 400 </title>

For request:

Request that fails with 404 just before this one is:
