It is worth mentioning that vboxwebsrv is not something bundled with VirtualBox, but rather a separate install:
http://code.google.com/p/vboxweb/wiki/install
I too was lost on this for quite a while until I searched for "vboxwebsrv" and found the project on Google Code.
It does not appear to work with VirtualBox OSE (3.2) either. I was able to get vboxwebsrv working with VirtualBox 4.04 on Ubuntu x64 fairly simply. I get the "Unsupported Content-Type" error message when testing the connection from Jenkins however.

> Hi,
> I have been using both VBox and Hudson quite a while. I came accross the Hudson VirtualBox Plugin. My understanding is that I can use this e.g. to create/clone/start/stop build slaves. So I'd assume that I set up a VDI that could be used as template and manage instances via the plugin. Looking at the plugin configuration section in the hudson config, I'm required to provide a URL to my VirtualBox. In the VirtualBox UI I can't find any options to remote enable my VirtualBox installation neither did I find anything in the documentation. Can you point me to some info and perhaps a link to it what the prerequisites regarding the VirtualBox installation are?
> Thanks and Best Regards,
> ajag

I finally got the test connection working by using http://localhost:18083/. It would not accept my machine name rather than localhost for some reason.
Now I'm stuck at this error when launching the slave:

It seems like a lot of people have reported this problem. I'm guessing rolling back to an older version of VirtualBox would fix it?
