You're right, there is nothing in the protocol that prevents Jabber using dynamic DNS addresses that are updated when ever the IP changes. But the implementation of jabberd 1.4.x does not allow you to use these addresses. It chaces DNS entries it has resolved for two hours and doesn't care if the TTL value is shorter.

Jabber server, thus moving Jabber closer to a peer-to-peer model (currently this would require each device to have its own fully qualified domain name). I really would like to implement a p2p jabber network. So does the Internet. If you want to change that, take it up with the guys who built it ;). You can probably setup the jabberd server to be called 'localhost' and make the clients connect by IP address, why would you want to.. Every client is a server, then who gets to be tom or john? How do you route messages with such chaos? Napster et all don't work completely dynamically either, someone somewhere controls who you are (server), and says you are johny28382, and then figures out you want to talk to susie12 and connects the two IPs directly. That server had to be registered in DNS (or have a fixed IP). Jabber isn't crippled this way. No one cares who the client's IP is, only the server must be a known entity. I use Jabber for what is essentially P2P communications right now (two instances of my program exchange information over jabber), without issues. If you want p2p file sharing, there's other things that accomplish that that are GPL and you can build what you like on top of them. Or use Jabber as the server, and the 'clients' can exchange 'file list' type messages with multiple other clients simultaneously as a result of a search. Personally, that's over engineering an established solution in my books, I'd grab a GPL'd p2p program, and extend it rather than kludging an IM solution to do it. But, that's my preference. Jabber does exactly what its been designed to do. And is flexible enough (with sufficient work on the developer's part) to do more. Losing the 'authoritative' server won't make it more flexible imho :). ___ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev

I am just curious. Are you going to use an existing library (JabberBeans, KvmJab, ...) or project? EdE wrote: hi folks, we are three people and would like to contribute some code to the jabber community. our idea is to establish filesharing over jabber. we do this for a project in school which will start monday (7.1.2), from that day on we have only three weeks to get it done. i talked about our plans with some people in #jdev, a few days ago. they told me to post everything to the list. here we go. at first i'll explain our ideas below, i should mention that my english is not that good as it should be, therefore feel free to ask if you don't understand something. our main idea is to build a java-client (called jayshare) which should operate simultaneously besides other jabber-clients like gabber, winjab, jabbernaut, ... jayshare should only cover file-sharing; chat, messaging, etc. should not be implemented. there are 3 main parts (explained in detail below): i getting/sending filelists from/to other users ii browse/search these lists and select files iii transferring files from/to other users the lists will be stored on the clients machine. this might sound a bit strange, but the purpose of jayshare should be to share files with your friends rather then with the whole world. furthermore we don't want to change anything on the server side. even if a transport and a serverbased database would be a good idea for this, it would have some disadvantages we want to avoid: a: a new transport has to be installed explicitly by the server admin, so not every server would support that b: since a) the server-admin could be made responsible if he installs this transport: some curious people could have the idea to share files that aren't allowed to share (copyrighted data, etc.). some even more curious people will have the idea that this isadmin's fault.we don't want admins to be blamed if others do something nasty. only the users are responsible for their doing, nobody else. this point is currently very important and since the DMCA and other strange ideas it will become even more important in future. c: writing a transport would take more time, which we don't have at the moment. our primary goal is to get the basics work, after that many things can be added, but that's far in the future. everything should take place in groupchat-mode, in the following way: i - swapping filelists example: Y logs into a room, X is already there. if X has Y's filelist, X asks Y for the lastchange-stamp of Y's list. if it's newer than the list X has, X's jayshare will request the newer one from Y. if X doesn't have Y's list yet, it will also do that of course :-) after that Y's jayshare will ask for the lastchange-stamp of X's list, and so on. ii - browsing/searching lists since the lists are stored locally browsing/searching can be performed anytime the user wants (online or offline). the user can either browse and select files by name, size and other attributes or he can search on these items. searchable items are e.g. name, size, mimetype and description. depending on the filetype there can be more: OggVorbis-files e.g. should also be searchable by title, author, album and bitrate. etc. when a file is selected for download it is necessary to figure out who has it. if it's more than one user, a good method should be used to determine the most reliable download-peer. later it could be implemented to download different parts of a file simultaneously from different users. the download-request will be written into a queue, downloads will start when user goes online and deleted from queue when the file is transferred. of course filelists are nothing if they could not be build. therefore jayshare needs an option to create and edit such a list. iii - transferring files when the user has selected the files he wants to download, jayshare has to ask the other peer about his ip and port where to get the files he wants. if an other user would like to download some files from us, jayshare of course tells them our ip and port where we offer our files. this is the last thing which will take place in XML. the downloading itself will be _like_ http/ftp. ok, thats the idea. now it should be discussed here before we start the hacking. furthermore it would be interesting if some parts of the previous ideas already have been coded and if we can rely on it, as soon as the writing is under GPL or

But it'd be very complex - Original Message - From: Sean Brown To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 30, 2001 12:51 PM Subject: [JDEV] (no subject) Peter Saint-Andre suggested that I pose this question to the list, and make it into a a suggestion. Here is my original question to him: ---Let's say Ive got the 1.4.1 server up and running with the AOL and MSN transports also installed. I've got three users: 1. Me (WinJab user)2. You (AIM user)3. Someoneelse (MSN user) Will user 2 and user 3 be able to IM one another, or can only user 1 IM with users 2 and 3? In other words, is it possible to have jabberd running and have NO users running a jabber client? What I'm trying to avoid is setting up this service, then having all my users have to switch their IM clients to a jabber client. I personally love WinJab, but many of my users are reluctant to swith from AIM or MSN. Will they be able to IM each other? --- This, after a couple of e-mails to Peter, seemed like it could work, but is not presently part of the plans for the jabber server. So my suggestion is this. I believe that you would have a tremendously powerful platform if the jabber server could send and receive from any (AIM, MSN, ICQ, YAHOO) client and send to any client. In other words, if jabber could serve as a unifying server to these various clients, you'd have a hell of a market for this. To give you an example, I run a "community" web service called dinnertablechitchat.com. This service allows families or groups a personal space to exchange news, pictures, wishlists, etc. The site is in beta and so far has about 200 users, spanning 70 groups. I recently sent out an e-mail to the users to ask what they would like to see added to the site, and they OVERWHELMINGLY responded: instant messaging and chat. I followed up with a question about whether they would be willing to use a new client for it, and they said no. They wanted to stick with what they've got. That's what prompted the above question to Peter. And I'm sure my 200 member (but growing :) site is tiny compared to some of the established sites out there, and a platform that would allow any IM client to speak to any other IM client would be very valuable.
