Come up with time and cost for a method of 'attaching' files to tweets (also posted to Andy)

There are three XEP, related to the file transfers.

http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0066.html http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0096.html http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0234.html

But before we choose one of them, I neet to know what does it mean "File transfers" in out case? How should it work? What a usage scenario?

Andy and I have previously discussed a preference for using xep-0234 as this code can also be used for voice and video in the future.

On Friday we discussed using an HTTP file transfer method to upload files to the microblogging server and allowing internal user access by using their XMPP account names and passwords.

I think this will be the easiest implementation to start with. Do you think this is a good idea?

You mean, that one user will upload file using usual HTTP, and link to it in his tweet. And his friends will be able to download file using their login from the web frontend, right?

cleartext commented 14 years ago

Yes - that gives us easy internal file sharing - we can resolve the public sharing later.

Ok, it should be easy to add a handle to the web frontend to accept file uploads. It could return an download url.
