Here's what I want to do...
Mike Macgirvin
package (Friendica) which communicates with many of the top "web-
based" social networks (free and otherwise). Now it's time to bring
the XMPP world into the network - and vice versa.
I think I can do this without a "long-lived listening daemon" by using
bosh. Pardon me, but there's an XMPP learning curve and I'm near the
bottom.
Basically I want to use jaxl/bosh to link to an existing (arbitrary)
xmpp server and funnel traffic through it and convert this to
something we can use with the free social web - (salmon/OStatus, RSS/
ATOM, diaspora, anything) . I can do the data conversion.
Sending messages from a webapp to XMPP is easy - I've got lots of
examples. What I want to do is to receive XMPP data and forward the
messages to the free (web based) social web without requiring me to
have a jabber/xmpp server running locally.
This is for use in shared hosting environs where long-lived processes
aren't allowed. Or in other words we need to gateway to the web from
XMPP. Specifically to PHP web processes. It appears on the surface
that bosh and specifically jaxl/bosh is capable of doing this. Can
anybody help provide guidance? I'm quite willing to do the work, but I
believe I need somebody that is familiar with the xmpp/bosh world to
help me in understanding what I need to do in order to get from here
to there. .
