XEP-0332 allows the client and server to use different methods based on your requirements and capabilites. It supports both chunked transfer, as well as file transfer, in-band byte streams and Jingle. If out-of-band transfer is necessary for bandwidth requirements, I suggest the Jingle transfer method. An in-band method, or a properly negotiated P2P method out-of-band, would handle the case where the server resides behind a firewall, like the case where you have your own personal credit-card sized server (RaspberryPi2, Cubieboard, Tonido, etc.) at home, behind the firewall. You can still access content over XMPP, and in web clients that understand the proposed httpx URI scheme.

To upload content, simply perform a PUT, and you can then retrieve it using a normal GET. http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0332.html#PUT If content is small, you can do the transfer in the same request. Otherwise, chunked service can be used, or integration with sipub, ibb and/or jingle as well, depending on capabilities. So, you're suggesting an in-band transfer mechanism for out-of-band data transfers? That sounds a bit wasteful to me. By the way, how are updates to 332 progressing? Edwin
