Hi all, I'm trying to design a REST approach over XMPP, my idea is to transpose REST normally used over HTTP to XMPP (a future RFC may be called REST over XMPP).
The natural choice is for IQ stanza but types described in RFC are: - get - set - result - error 'get' is perfect for reading a resource, 'set' may be used to POST or PUT (I can accept to not distinguishing the two), but I'd like to have a 'delete' type. My question is: XMPP is extendible by nature but is possible to extend also standard stanzas? Adding types to IQ should be safe also for clients using XMPP standard (they simply ignore them) but I'm not sure this is acceptable from XMPP standard point of view. Obviously I can use standard type moving operation identifier (get, set, delete...) in custom elements inside them but I think a more "purist" approach can be better.... Many thanks Fabrizio Guglielmino
