For a couple of reasons I really need Jingle Transfer support in OMEMO due to limitations of HTTP File Upload: 1) it is supported not by every server, but it is still possible while OMEMO and Jingle can be used 2) arbitrary service limitations that can change every moment, like - maximal file size - maximal available traffic - maximal available space - maximal number of uploads per time slot 3) no guarantee for Content-Range support by the server to - continue uploading - continue downloading in case of a connection interruption 4) request might be rejected by the server for whatever reason 5) the file might disappear for whatever reason Considering all this, despite of the nice convenience you have when HTTP File Upload is working, Jingle gives you the freedom back again to transfer something right now without to depend on too much. Are there any major technical issues with omemo filetransfer that you couldn't solve? Can't they be solved in general or it can be discussed? Are you working on a successor XEP or if I'd need it I'd had to go on my own?
