XMPP Chat Protocol

Hi,

Has anyone tried implementing or wrapping (using externals) the XMPP library in LiveCode? We are considering using it and would like to know if there are any options available to do this? I have used it before when writing lots of Python programs and would like to use it again if possible in LiveCode.

Kind regards,

rod

There's no code available that uses XMPP. Someone once said he'd send me his partial implementation, but sadly he never came around. In theory, it should be possible to do it in LC natively. One would need socket programming, and either the XML external or a hand coded, string based xml approach. Using a terminal based client or an externals are of course other alternatives.

XMPP is also known as Jabber or Google Talk, just for people using the forum search ;-)
