Answer 1

change urn:xmpp:archive to urn:xmpp:archive:auto

I had the same issue and determined this by running a discovery request: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0136.html#disco

I sent this IQ:

<iq from='user@mydomain.com'
    id='disco1' 
    to='mydomain.com'
    type='get'>
  <query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/>
</iq>

My Openfire server with the Monitoring plugin enabled returned this result:

<iq xmlns="jabber:client" type="result" id="disco1" from="mydomain.com" to="user@mydomain.com/resource">
   <query xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info">

You can see that Automatic Archiving (urn:xmpp:archive:auto) and Archive Management (urn:xmpp:archive:manage) are supported, but Manual Archiving (urn:xmpp:archive:manual) and Archiving Preferences (urn:xmpp:archive:pref) are not.

XEP-0313 is also supported (listed as urn:xmpp:mam:0) and can retrieve archived messages: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html
