Re: [Standards] Extending IQ types

[Diego Casado]

Hello Fabrizio! I'm developing some stuff with SOAP over XMPP, but I'm also very interested in the REST approach. May you send me one simple example of your code: Client and Server side by consuming a service or by sending an event from a device? Thanks. Diego.

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....
