Hello all,

I am interested in having a specification to define how a server might let a client know certain binary data is available via HTTP.

I'm working on a Javascript BOSH client and it would be useful if the server made available to me certain data (like user avatars) in their "natural" form such that I would be able to make use of a standard image tag with http://... as the `src` attribute, instead of using the base64 as the `src` (which some browsers do not support)

I also see that this might be useful for the purposes of having the server handle file transfers for a javascript client (which would not be able to handle an ordinary XMPP-defined file transfer) It is suggested that the server might download the file, and make available to the client (when complete) the address (and possibly other data pertinent to a file transfer) from which a user (via web browser) might be able to download said file.

Please let me know what you think, and how we might structure this.

Thanks,
Dallas Gutauckis
