Hello all, hope you are all good. Me and Jaussoin Timothée faced with a problem to attach files to microblog posts. The easier way to do that is to serve files somewhere and link to them from the posts. But what is the appropriate way to do that?
1) upload to a web server and link as http-link. But how to upload? If we will just create an API and then upload files through it then it will not be reusable. We have a XEP-0129 (WebDAV File Transfer) but it's deferred and doesn't determine some things like what exactly server we have to PUT files to. 2) Use native file serving protocol: we have XEP-0135 which is seems to be good for me, but it's deferred again and doesn't define a way to upload files to a hosting. Also, it doesn't support Jingle File Transfers. So it needs to be finished. Also, we have XEP-0214 which seems to me too complicated. And it's also deferred, not finished, without an ability to upload files. Also, we need an ability to make a link to files, which, possibly, will need an invitation of new link schema. (?) So, if we want to take care about finish, which XEP should it be? What is the other nuances or guidelines? Thanks. -- With best regards, Sergey Dobrov, XMPP Developer and JRuDevels.org founder.
