http_file_server jwchat and Squid(for SSL).
I am hoping there is https_file_server so that we do not need Squid for SSL.
I never get luck with Apache ssl.

Example configuration

{listen, [
  {5282, ejabberd_http, [
                         {certfile, "/etc/ejabberd/ssl.pem"}, tls,
                         {request_handlers, [
                           {["jwchat"], mod_http_fileserver}
                         ]}
                        ]},
  ...
]}.

Appreciated !

Can you help me to make 5283, 5284, 5285, ... works with English, Russian, French, ... respectively?

Sorry, the other node's https won't work when I set up the first node's https on.
I have to change back to http for the second node.

Only one mod_http_fileserver can be running in a vhost. And the module can only serve one directory.

If you want to provide Jwchat in different languages, you can do this:

Put jwchat english files in /var/www/jwchat/en/
Put jwchat russian files in /var/www/jwchat/ru/
...
Configure: {docroot, "/var/www/jwchat/"}
Now tell your russian users to visit https://example.org:5282/jwchat/ru/index.html
