hi folks, I wanted to know the current state of integrating jabber with HTTP protocol. I think it is very important to support clients behind firewalls. Anyways, i think the whole problem lies in the fact that HTTP is a non-persistent protocol. The simple workaround is to use polling at the client side (i guess jabber.com's webim uses this). However, I worked on a project in which we developed an application that works by using blocking HTTP requests at the server side. This technique is generic enough, it does not rely on HTTP 1.1 persistent connection feature, and can be applied to Jabber, altho it's a hack ;-).
I was on the WCS mailing list (until it got deprecated;-), and i think i followed the first release, but since then i have lost track. There is also something called mod_jabber that i heard about...can anybody explain how is it different from WCS? Does it provide persistence?
