Thanks Garrett, and sorry for me being unclear.
The use-case is as follows ::
a) Alice is running HTTPS-based WebDAV (listening on port 443), in the
context of "httpd".
b) Alice is also logged onto a Jabber Server (which may be configured if
desired, by Tom - the Jabber Admin).
c) Bob is also logged onto the same Jabber Server of step b).
d) Now, Bob is wanting to get a listing of Alice' shared WebDAV files,
through his (Mozilla/Chrome) browser.
(Note that when Alice was on the same network as Bob's, Bob could
access Alice's share by typing "https://<Alice's IP Address>/webdav" in
his
browser).
e) Once Bob is able to get a listing of Alice's shared WebDAV files
(through his browser), he also wants to be able to download the files.
So, yes, I am wanting to know how (if at all) steps d) and e) could be made
possible (with the Firefox/Chrome acting as the WebDAV Clients).
I am ok with any of the following scenarios (as long as steps d) and e) get
fulfilled) ::
(i) Jabber acts as a tunnel for WebDAV
(ii) Jabber acts as an intermediatery.
Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
Post by Garrett KuchtaI'm on my phone, so sorry about the brief responses. It sounds like you're
looking for a solution in want of a problem, though. I can't think of a use
case where this would be necessary. So you're saying alice and bob have
inbound 443 or whatever blocked at their upstream, and you want to tunnel
webdav through jabber somehow? Or use the jabber server as an intermediary?
How would this work on the client side? So I log in with a webclient you're
developing and I'd see the other users' shared files? Or I'd use pidgin or
whatever and then use my browser to connect to some url on the jabber
server? I guess I don't really understand what you're trying to do
Post by Ajay GargThanks Garrett for the link.
Well, that certainly is an option; but I am wishing something which has
already been tested in field.
I am thinking if the Jabber server could simply act as a gateway for HTTP
transfers between Alice and Bob.
I did some googling and found terms such as "Jabber HTTP Polling",
"BOSH", "XMPP over BOSH" (though I am afraid I haven't looked a bit in the
details).
Could these come to the rescue? :)

Ajay

Post by Ajay GargThanks Garrett for the reply.
But I am afraid it's gone over my head (I am sorry, I only understand
English).
What's "CDDC-esque"?
