Hello Goffi.
Thanks for your reply. Jingle file transfer can be negotiated using the HTTP
over XMPP (XEP-0332) phase. The URI provided therein
(http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0332.html#httpxscheme) allows parties to
negotiate if file transder, in-band-bytestreams or jingle should be used for
large content. Small content or dynamic content can be transferred using text,
xml, base64 or chunked base64 methods.
Regarding XEP-0231: It looks like an interesting method, if HTTP over XMPP is
not supported. BoB does not support partitioning the content file into smaller
blocks it seems, but it includes a method for integrating the content into the
chat sessions using XHTML-IM, which is what I'm looking for. Thanks.
Best regards,Peter Waher
