Allow the user to specify their own BOSH url in the Connect Server option If the Connect Server starts with "http(s?)://", use it as a BOSH connection URL and go connect to it. The use case for this is someone who wants to connect to their Google Talk account from behind a firewall that blocks everything but HTTP (and not just port 80), so the user runs a standalone BOSH Connection Manager on their home computer and connects through that. I'm not entirely happy with the how this leaves the advanced UI panel. The user specifies a BOSH connection port as part of the URL, whereas the non-srv connections use the separate 'port' account option.
