Yes it does: http://dev.jabbim.cz/jdisk I would be perfectly happy to standardize on that approach for "larger" blobs (64k+ or whatever), with IBB as a fallback. For "smaller" blobs (I think of this as less than 64k since that's the upper stanza size limit on the jabber.org service, but it might even be smaller) it seems just fine to include the blob "inline" via some method yet to be worked out. Adam Nemeth was working on something like this for emoticons. It's funny, I was chatting with Jeremie Miller the other day (he's not on this list AFAIK) and he said "If I had known that someday people would choose their IM technology based on emoticons, I would have designed a simple binary-inclusion technology into Jabber from the beginning." So now we have the chance to remedy the oversight. But please let's keep it simple, shall we? This is for small stuff like emoticons and thumbnails. Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
