Any examples using Blather and File Transfer?

[Henry H]

I created a simple Blather bot, but it doesn't show "send file" available from my Jabber-compatible client.  Does anyone have a simple of example of using the Blather gem to send and receive files?

Thanks,

Henry

Hi Henry,

At the moment Blather can only receive files and can't send them.
Your Jabber client doesn't show the "send file" available because you
should advertise your bot's capabilities first.

Sorry, I don't have an example on how to do that with the latest
trunk, but I suppose Ben should have one.

To receive files in your bot you should write a file-transfer handler:

client.register_handler :file_transfer do |iq|
transfer = Blather::FileTransfer.new(client, iq)
transfer.accept(Blather::FileTransfer::SimpleFileReceiver, "/path/to/
save/#{iq.si.file["name"]}", iq.si.file["size"].to_i)
end

Something like this should do you on the caps front: https://gist.github.com/1016487

this looks really awesome.

so you can automatically accept file transfers over xmpp, and potentially publish these files with a nifty link? that sounds like fun.

Correct.
