Hi guys, Currently there is the DSPS effort for establishing a bytestream between JIDs via a proxy component. Establishing a stream between two JIDs opens up a lot of possibilities (see the DSPS JEP-37 for some ideas), most importantly file transfer. However, there are still two parts of the puzzle missing: a stream negotiation protocol, to allow clients to decide on the best stream method to use, and an actual file transfer protocol.
Today I wrote the following document: http://www.affinix.com/~justin/strneg.html It describes both a stream negotiation protocol and a simple file transfer protocol. It is all completely independent of the actual stream protocol used. I describe a "Direct TCP" method in the document for simplicity's sake, however it would work for any stream transport (ie, DSPS or whatever). Should I send this to the standards-jig list also? This is my first attempt at contributing to the Jabber protocol, so I'm not familiar with the process. Feedback welcome. Have fun, -Justin _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
