Re: [Wikitech-l] Demo for XMPP-Based RC-Notifications

Of course only if PHP can keep named pipe open in persistent mode. I'm not sure if this is easy or even possible at all ;) AJF/WarX ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

I'm not sure if this is easy or even possible at all ;) Never done much with these, but woudn't they get confused if multiple php processes accessed a named pipe at once? also, can a named pipe be connected to a tcp stream? Hm, I guess the letter could simply by done with cat my.pipe | socat tcp:... Otoh, I don't think opening the pipe for every edit (not request!) would be prohibitively expensive. Might be a possibility. Actually, XMLRC already supports writing to a file, so no change to the extension would be needed at all. -- daniel ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

[Wikitech-l] Demo for XMPP-Based RC-Notifications
Hi all. I have wanted to push RC-messages via XMPP for a long time. I have now a working demo on the toolserver: join enw...@conference.jabber.toolserver.org with any jabber client to see the human readable part. The demo works by polling the API, for production use, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:XMLRC should be enabled on the live sites. The architecture is similar to the one used for the IRC channels: MediaWiki emits UDP packets (in the case of XMLRC, containing XML - the same rc tags you would get from the API). The packets are received by a standalong bridge process (written in python) that multiplexes the messages into the appropriat channels (XMPP MUC rooms, in my case). Details can be found on the extension page. I have also written a small client lib that provides convenient access to the RC properties that are enclosed in the XMPP message. See the extension page for links. So, what do you think, what would it take to get this live? -- daniel PS: relevant tracking bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17450 ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
