Hi, I am the Jappix project founder (https://www.jappix.com/ - https://project.jappix.com/ - https://mini.jappix.com), and we added full microblogging XEP (XEP-0277) support to our webclient (desktop edition). We had a strong need during its integration: the multiple/single file(s) attachment, like Identi.ca does in its protocol. We built a simple way (maybe not the best?!) to do this, with <file /> XML elements. Would it be possible to add this to the XEP draft, or to enhence this structure if bad? It looks like this: <items node="urn:xmpp:microblog:0"> <item id="b7cfa299c9263eb218863362762c0e26"> <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <source> <title>Microblog (Vanaryon)</title> <updated>2011-03-13T15:52:45Z</updated> <author> <nick>Vanaryon</nick> </author> </source> <title>Espérons que le salon du jeu vidéo Breton sera meilleur l'année prochaine :(</title> <body>Espérons que le salon du jeu vidéo Breton sera meilleur l'année prochaine :(</body> <published>2011-03-13T15:52:45Z</published> <updated>2011-03-13T15:52:45Z</updated> <link href="xmpp:vanar...@jappix.com?;node=urn%3Axmpp%3Amicroblog%3A0;item=b7cfa299c9263eb218863362762c0e26" rel="alternate"> <file name="IMAG0090" url="https://www.jappix.com/store/share/vanar...@jappix.com/76cc121cab14443c1d6ffe046443dfd1d856940b.jpg" source="web" ext="jpg" type="image" thumb="https://www.jappix.com/store/share/vanar...@jappix.com/76cc121cab14443c1d6ffe046443dfd1d856940b_thumb.jpg" /> <file name="IMAG0093" url="https://www.jappix.com/store/share/vanar...@jappix.com/bdc11f42e0c1d810b33733689f6cfd7a9197c9e0.jpg" source="web" ext="jpg" type="image" thumb="https://www.jappix.com/store/share/vanar...@jappix.com/bdc11f42e0c1d810b33733689f6cfd7a9197c9e0_thumb.jpg" /> </entry> </item> </items> Here are the attributes in use: * name: the real file name * url: the file url (HTTP if source=web; ...) * source: the source of the file (web, ...) * ext: the file extension (I think it might be removed because of "type" attr) * type: the file type category (I think it might be changed to the MIME type to remove "ext" attr) * thumb: the link to a thumbnail of the image file, using the same MIME type as the "big" file (we may add video files thumbs support too, maybe using a <thumb /> sub-element with all the MIME type needed in a "type" attr) I am waiting for your replies and thoughts about it. I am aware that my first integration of this new feature in Jappix is not really "clean" and might be enhenced. Thanks, Valérian Saliou, Jappix founder.
