<Wilmer> Oh by the way, when I mentioned this idea to a coworker, he brought up how he prefers Matrix these days
<Wilmer> For doing versioning instead of ∞ combinations of extensions
<eeeeeta> Wilmer: does versioning actually have any significant benefits though?
* eeeeeta has never understood that argument, personally
<Wilmer> eeeeeta: It's mostly that xmpp made a bit of a mess of their extensions in the first years.
<eeeeeta> Wilmer: how so?
<Wilmer> There are I think 3 xeps for "privacy", i.e. blocking people. You should read the first one for fun value.
<eeeeeta> oh right
<Wilmer> It's so IETF it huts
<Wilmer> *hurts
<Wilmer> And I think it took them a while to make up their minds on streams/file transfers as well.
<eeeeeta> eh, but I kinda see this as a long term positive though
<eeeeeta> especially since if someone wanted to go and fix, say, MUCs they could just write another XEP
<Wilmer> eeeeeta: One thing I want to figure out, does xmpp really still exist on doing direct c2c streams for sending images?
<eeeeeta> Wilmer: it's supported by a lot of clients, but IME thus far they've just used HTTP upload for 99.9% of cases
<Wilmer> eeeeeta: Through a third party?
<eeeeeta> and I tried a jingle file transfer from desktop to my phone once and it broke, so that's probably a sane choice
<eeeeeta> Wilmer: yeah
<eeeeeta> observe:
<Wilmer> choo choo!
<eeeeeta> quite :)
<eeeeeta> hmm, I wonder how uploads would work with this project though
<eeeeeta> like, I expect you'd need to host a mini HTTP server or something
<Wilmer> Long ago I thought of doing that with BitlBee actually, to avoid IRC DCC
<Wilmer> But at the time I would've been crazy enough to implement that one myself then. Glad I did not.
* eeeeeta shivers
<Wilmer> So, assuming a decent enough language is used, it should allow you to create http "event handlers" surely?
<eeeeeta> inside the bridge or the host application?

<Wilmer> Yeah hmm :-)
