Detailed Description

An implementation of the file transfer SI profile (XEP-0096).

An SIProfileFT object acts as a 'plugin' to the SIManager. SIProfileFT manages most of the file transfer functionality.

Usage:

Create a new SIProfileFT object. It needs a ClientBase -derived object as well as a SIProfileFTHandler -derived object that will receive file transfer-related events. The naming comes from the fact that File Transfer (FT) is a profile of Stream Initiation (SI). If you already use SI and the SIManager somewhere else, you should pass a pointer to that SIManager object as third parameter to SIProfileFT's constructor.

 class MyFileTransferHandler : public SIProfileFTHandler
 {
   // ...
 };

 Client* client = new Client( ... );
 // ...
 MyFileTransferHandler* mh = new MyFileTransferHandler( ... );

 SIProfileFT* ft = new SIProfileFT( client, mh );

You are now, basically, ready to send and receive files.

A couple of notes:

To be able to send files, you will need access to a SOCKS5 bytestream proxy (called StreamHost)(not an ordinary SOCKS5 proxy). You should use Disco to query it for its host and port and feed that information into SIProfileFT:
```
 ft->addStreamHost( JID( "proxy.server.dom" ), "101.102.103.104", 6677 );
```
You should not hard-code this information (esp. host/IP and port) into your app since the proxy may go down occasionally or vanish completely.

When you finally receive a SOCKS5Bytestream via the SIProfileFTHandler, you will need to integrate this bytestream with your mainloop, or put it into a separate thread (if occasional blocking is not acceptable). You will need to call SOCKS5Bytestream::connect() . connect() will try to connect to each of the given StreamHosts and block until it has established a connection with one of the them (or until all attempts failed). Further, if you want to receive a file via the bytestream, you will have to call recv() on the object from time to time.

If you e.g. told Client to connect through a HTTP proxy or a SOCKS5 proxy , or any other ConnectionBase -derived method, or even chains thereof, SIProfileFT will use the same connection types with the same configuration to connect to the Stream Host/SOCKS5 proxy. If this is inappropriate because you have e.g. a local SOCKS5 proxy inside your local network, use SOCKS5Bytestream::setConnectionImpl() to override the above default connection(s).

Do not delete a SOCKS5Bytestream manually. Use dispose() instead.

Additionally to using external SOCKS5 proxies, you can use a SOCKS5BytestreamServer object that gloox provides:
```
 SOCKS5BytestreamServer* server = new SOCKS5BytestreamServer( client->logInstance(), 1234 );
 if( server->listen() != ConnNoError )
   printf( "port in use\n" );

 ft->addStreamHost( client->jid(), my_ip, 1234 );
 ft->registerSOCKS5BytestreamServer( server );
```
This listening server should then be integrated into your mainloop to have its recv() method called from time to time. It is safe to put the server into its own thread.

When using the Client's JID as the first argument to addStreamHost() as in the code snippet above, make sure the JID is actually a full JID. If you let the server pick a resource, the call to Client::jid() needs to be made after the connection has been established and authenticated, because only then Client knows its full JID.

Using addStreamHost(), you can add as many potential StreamHosts as you like. However, you should add the best options (e.g. the local SOCKS5BytestreamServer) first.

When cleaning up, delete the objectes you created above in the opposite order of creation:

 delete server
 delete ft;
 delete client;

For usage examples see src/examples/ft_send.cpp and src/examples/ft_recv.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SIProfileFT ( ClientBase * parent,

SIProfileFTHandler * sipfth,

SIManager * manager = 0,

SOCKS5BytestreamManager * s5Manager = 0

)

Constructor.
Parameters:

parent The ClientBase to use for signaling.

sipfth The SIProfileFTHandler to receive events.

manager An optional SIManager to register with. If this is zero, SIProfileFT will create its own SIManager. You should pass a valid SIManager here if you are already using one with the parent ClientBase above.

s5Manager An optional SOCKS5BytestreamManager to use. If this is zero, SIProfileFT will create its own SOCKS5BytestreamManager. You should pass a valid SOCKS5BytestreamManager here if you are already using one with the parent ClientBase above.

Note:
If you passed a SIManager and/or SOCKS5BytestreamManager to SIProfileFT's constructor, these objects will not be deleted on desctruction of SIProfileFT.

Member Function Documentation

void acceptFT ( const JID & to,

const std::string & id,

StreamType type = FTTypeS5B

)

Call this function to accept a file transfer request previously announced by means of SIProfileFTHandler::handleFTRequest() .
Parameters:

to The requestor.

id The request's id, as passed to SIProfileHandler::handleFTRequest().

type The desired stream type to use for this file transfer. Defaults to SOCKS5 Bytestream.

Definition at line 91 of file siprofileft.cpp.

void addStreamHost ( const JID & jid,

const std::string & host,

int port

)

Adds one StreamHost to the list of SOCKS5 StreamHosts.
Parameters:

jid The StreamHost's JID.

host The StreamHost's hostname.

port The StreamHost's port.

Definition at line 138 of file siprofileft.cpp.

void declineFT ( const JID & to,

const std::string & id,

SIManager::SIError reason,

const std::string & text = ""

)

Call this function to decline a FT request previously announced by means of SIProfileFTHandler::handleFTRequest() .
Parameters:

to The requestor.

id The request's id, as passed to SIProfileFTHandler::handleFTRequest().

reason The reason for the reject.

text An optional human-readable text explaining the decline.

Definition at line 117 of file siprofileft.cpp.

void dispose ( SOCKS5Bytestream * s5b )

To get rid of a bytestream (i.e., close and delete it), call this function. You should not use the bytestream any more. The remote entity will be notified about the closing of the stream.
Parameters:

s5b The bytestream to dispose. It will be deleted here.

Definition at line 126 of file siprofileft.cpp.

void handleIncomingSOCKS5Bytestream ( SOCKS5Bytestream * s5b ) [virtual]

Notifies the implementor of a new incoming SOCKS5 bytestream. The bytestream is not yet ready to send data. To initialize the bytestream and to prepare it for data transfer, register a SOCKS5BytestreamDataHandler with it and call its connect() method. To not block your application while the data transfer lasts, you most likely want to put the bytestream into its own thread or process (before calling connect() on it). It is safe to do so without additional synchronization. When you are finished using the bytestream, use SIProfileFT::dispose() (or SOCKS5BytestreamManager::dispose() if you use SOCKS5BytestreamManager directly) to get rid of it.
Parameters:

s5b The bytestream.

Implements SOCKS5BytestreamHandler.
Definition at line 204 of file siprofileft.cpp.

void handleIncomingSOCKS5BytestreamRequest ( const std::string & sid,

const JID & from

) [virtual]

Notifies the implementor of a new incoming SOCKS5 request. You have to call either SOCKS5BytestreamManager::acceptSOCKS5Bytestream() or SOCKS5BytestreamManager::rejectSOCKS5Bytestream(), to accept or reject the bytestream request, respectively.
Parameters:

sid The bytestream's id, to be passed to SOCKS5BytestreamManager::acceptSOCKS5Bytestream() and SOCKS5BytestreamManager::rejectSOCKS5Bytestream(), respectively.

from The remote initiator of the bytestream request.

Implements SOCKS5BytestreamHandler.
Definition at line 198 of file siprofileft.cpp.

void handleOutgoingSOCKS5Bytestream ( SOCKS5Bytestream * s5b ) [virtual]

Notifies the implementor of successful establishing of an outgoing SOCKS5 bytestream request. The stream has been accepted by the remote entity and is ready to send data. The SOCKS5BytestreamHandler does not become the owner of the SOCKS5Bytestream object. Use SIProfileFT::dispose() (or SOCKS5BytestreamManager::dispose() if you use SOCKS5BytestreamManager directly) to get rid of the bytestream object after it has been closed.
Parameters:

s5b The new bytestream.

Implements SOCKS5BytestreamHandler.
