Hi all, when I first came up with HTTP Upload it was intended to also provide storage space for avatars and other permanent and public information. The introduction even mentions this.
However most servers currently have rather low retention periods of 10 days or 30 days (which is fair). Uploading an avatar for example under those conditions however isn't very feasible. That's why I propose to add the ability to optionally request slots that are permanent. Those permanent slots would have multiple types (avatar,...) and would always overwrite each other. Syntax would probably look something like this. <request size="1234" filename="me.png"><permanent type="avatar"/></request> But I have a few questions: Do you think these types should be registered? Should we use types at all? Or rather have some other limitation on permanent slots? (Like user can only have 10? And old ones will always be overwritten) cheers Daniel _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
