libotr now supports the ability for an application to produce an "extra symmetric key" at both ends of an OTR conversation. Applications would then need to support using that key to do secure file transfer. We had an implementation a while back, but if I remember correctly, it sent the file inline, which has two major drawbacks: - The big file gets sent via the IM server, which may get upset if it's really big - Your IM conversation is blocked until the file finishes being sent - Ian _______________________________________________ OTR-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cypherpunks.ca/mailman/listinfo/otr-dev
