Communicate with website visitors in real time: Simple web based chat / IM
Hi, I'm looking to communicate with my website visitors in real time. Ideally if they send me a message it will appear in my jabber client. I have thought of a way to construct a 'naive' version: - Use a BOSH connection manager (like Punjab) and a JS library (like Strophe) - Use a single JID for all visitors, say 'webu...@mydomain.com' but have a different resource for each visitor - In the JID buddy list for webu...@mydomain.com, have my personal JID added. So when a user sends me a message, it is sent to my usual client. Because each webuser has a unique resource, sending back to the same user is handled fine. In order for this to happen, the JS front end would need the password for webu...@mydomain.com. This is why I call this the 'naive' method. With this password a malicious user can log in using a standard client, remove me from it's buddy list, or add others to its buddy list, change the password, etc... Is there a better way than this naive version that avoids giving visitors a method to 'mess up' the 'webuser' account? Michal. -- To unsubscribe send a mail to jabberd2+unsubscr...@lists.xiaoka.com

Ideally if they send me a message it will appear in my jabber client. Use http://www.meebome.com/ I guess I was hoping to not involve a 3rd party, and not have other people's branding on my site. I am only after a very basic chat system... (They use jabberd2 under the hood :D ) So then it definitely is possible with jabberd2! So I guess my question is: how?
