title: exposing mule http inbound endpoint
body: <p>Am unable to expose http endpoint/address on a CentOS server. The most confusing part is we are able to expose other endpoints as ajax etc which are in the example package of mule installation. I am unable to expose this simple echo flow either. I even tried an alternative of explicitly defining an http connector for the endpoint to refer.. still it doesn't work. Am really unable to understand what's going wrong... this post 9002 is not even showing up in netstat after I deploy the app to mule server successfully...</p>
  
  <p>Here's the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;mule xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:http="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http"
  xsi:schemalocation="
      http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core/3.2/mule.xsd
      http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http/3.2/mule-http.xsd"&gt; 
  
  &lt;description&gt;
      Sample Flows
  &lt;/description&gt;
  
  &lt;flow name="echo-flow"&gt;
      &lt;http:inbound-endpoint address="http://0.0.0.0:9002/echo" /&gt;
      &lt;echo-component /&gt;
  &lt;/flow&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>and am using below pom.xml though this sample app does not require all the transports and modules in it am using them in my original app so using the same with this.</p>
