class slixmpp.plugins.xep_0066.XEP_0066(xmpp, config=None)[source]¶

XEP-0066: Out of Band Data

Out of Band Data is a basic method for transferring files between XMPP agents. The URL of the resource in question is sent to the receiving entity, which then downloads the resource before responding to the OOB request. OOB is also used as a generic means to transmit URLs in other stanzas to indicate where to find additional information.

Also see <http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0066.html>.

Events:

oob_transfer – Raised when a request to download a resource: has been received.

register_url_handler(jid=None, handler=None)[source]¶

Parameters

jid – If None, then set the handler as a global default.
handler – If None, then remove the existing handler for the given JID, or reset the global handler if the JID is None.

send_oob(to, url, desc=None, ifrom=None, **iqargs)[source]¶

Initiate a basic file transfer by sending the URL of a file or other resource.

Parameters

url – The URL of the resource to transfer.
desc – An optional human readable description of the item that is to be transferred.

class slixmpp.plugins.xep_0066.stanza.OOB(xml=None, parent=None)[source]¶

interfaces = {'desc', 'url'}¶: The set of keys that the stanza provides for accessing and manipulating the underlying XML object. This set may be augmented with the plugin_attrib value of any registered stanza plugins.

name = 'x'¶: The XML tag name of the element, not including any namespace prefixes. For example, an ElementBase object for <message /> would use name = 'message'.

namespace = 'jabber:x:oob'¶: The XML namespace for the element. Given <foo xmlns="bar" />, then namespace = "bar" should be used. The default namespace is jabber:client since this is being used in an XMPP library.

plugin_attrib = 'oob'¶

For ElementBase subclasses which are intended to be used as plugins, the plugin_attrib value defines the plugin name. Plugins may be accessed by using the plugin_attrib value as the interface. An example using plugin_attrib = 'foo':

register_stanza_plugin(Message, FooPlugin)
msg = Message()
msg['foo']['an_interface_from_the_foo_plugin']

sub_interfaces = {'desc', 'url'}¶: A subset of interfaces which maps interfaces to direct subelements of the underlying XML object. Using this set, the text of these subelements may be set, retrieved, or removed without needing to define custom methods.

class slixmpp.plugins.xep_0066.stanza.OOBTransfer(xml=None, parent=None)[source]¶

interfaces = {'desc', 'sid', 'url'}¶: The set of keys that the stanza provides for accessing and manipulating the underlying XML object. This set may be augmented with the plugin_attrib value of any registered stanza plugins.

name = 'query'¶: The XML tag name of the element, not including any namespace prefixes. For example, an ElementBase object for <message /> would use name = 'message'.

namespace = 'jabber:iq:oob'¶: The XML namespace for the element. Given <foo xmlns="bar" />, then namespace = "bar" should be used. The default namespace is jabber:client since this is being used in an XMPP library.

plugin_attrib = 'oob_transfer'¶

register_stanza_plugin(Message, FooPlugin)
msg = Message()
msg['foo']['an_interface_from_the_foo_plugin']

sub_interfaces = {'desc', 'url'}¶: A subset of interfaces which maps interfaces to direct subelements of the underlying XML object. Using this set, the text of these subelements may be set, retrieved, or removed without needing to define custom methods.
