When we come to implement file transfer using jingle I would suggest
that rather than creating a brand new backwards incompatible file
transfer protocol that we simply implement a new jingle bytestream
transport just like XEP-0047 and XEP-0065 which would allow complete
compatibility with the SI negotiation but still gets all the benefits a
file transfer over jingle UDP would bring, i.e. better likelihood of
connection.
I started working on such a beast a while back but never finished:
http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/jingle-bytestreams.html
That covered XEP-0065 only, but naturally we could define a transport
type for IBB (XEP-0047) too.
So would this work like XEP-0047 and XEP-0065 and just act as an extra
stream-method to plug into the SI negotiation? Which will then allow the
reuse of most of the file transfer and SI code in clients.
