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. The naming comes from the fact that File Transfer (FT) is a profile of Stream Initiation (SI).

Usage:

Create a new SIProfileFT object. It needs a ClientBase -derived object (e.g. Client) as well as a SIProfileFTHandler -derived object that will receive file transfer-related events. 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:

There are two (actually two and a half) possible "techniques" to transfer files using SI. The first is using a peer-to-peer SOCKS5 bytestream, optionally via a (special) SOCKS5 proxy. The second techniques is using an in-band bytestream, i.e. the data is encapsulated in XMPP stanzas and sent through the server.

To be able to send files using the former method (SOCKS5 bytestreams), you may need access to a SOCKS5 bytestream proxy (called StreamHost). This is especially true if either or both of sender and receiver are behind NATs or are otherwise blocked from establishing direct TCP connections. You should use Disco to query a potential SOCKS5 proxy for its host and port parameters 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.

In addition to (or even instead of) 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 you finally receive a Bytestream 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 connect() on that Bytestream. For SOCKS5 bytestreams, this function will try to connect to each of the given StreamHosts and block until it has established a connection with one of 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. For in-band bytestreams, connect() will send an "open the bytestream" request to the contact.

For both stream types, BytestreamDataHandler::handleBytestreamOpen() will announce the established bytestream. The stream then is ready to send and receive data.

In general, both types of streams can be handled equally, i.e. there's no need to know whether the underlying stream really is a SOCKS5Bytestream or an InBandBytestream. Bytestream::type() tells anyway. Note, however, that sending large amounts of data using in-band bytestreams may trigger rate limiting in some servers.

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 Bytestream objects manually. Use dispose() instead.

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. This is generally a good idea, since the server may choose to change the resource, even if you provided one at login.

The interal SOCKS5BytestreamServer will obviously not work across NATs.

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.

void cancel ( Bytestream * bs )

Cancels the given bytestream. Most useful for SOCKS5 bytestreams where no proxies could be found. The given Bytestream will be deleted.

Parameters

bs	The Bytestream to cancel.

Note: Can also be used with IBB.

Definition at line 156 of file siprofileft.cpp.

void declineFT	(	const JID &	to,
		const std::string &	sid,
		SIManager::SIError	reason,
		const std::string &	text = `EmptyString`
	)

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

Parameters

to	The requestor.
sid	The request's sid, as passed to SIProfileFTHandler::handleFTRequest().
reason	The reason for the reject.
text	An optional human-readable text explaining the decline.

Definition at line 136 of file siprofileft.cpp.

void dispose ( Bytestream * bs )

To get rid of a bytestream (i.e., close and delete it), call this function. The remote entity will be notified about the closing of the stream.

Parameters

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

Definition at line 145 of file siprofileft.cpp.

void handleBytestreamError	(	const IQ &	iq,
		const std::string &	sid
	)

virtual

Notifies the handler of errors occuring when a bytestream was requested. For example, if the remote entity does not implement SOCKS5 bytestreams.

Parameters

iq	The error stanza.
sid	The request's SID.

Implements BytestreamHandler.

Definition at line 306 of file siprofileft.cpp.

void handleIncomingBytestream ( Bytestream * bs )

virtual

Notifies the implementor of a new incoming bytestream. The bytestream is not yet ready to send data. To initialize the bytestream and to prepare it for data transfer, register a BytestreamDataHandler 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() to get rid of it.

Parameters

bs	The bytestream.

Implements BytestreamHandler.

Definition at line 294 of file siprofileft.cpp.

void handleIncomingBytestreamRequest	(	const std::string &	sid,
		const JID &	from
	)

virtual

Notifies the implementor of a new incoming bytestream request. You have to call either BytestreamManager::acceptBytestream() or BytestreamManager::rejectBytestream(), to accept or reject the bytestream request, respectively.

Parameters

sid	The bytestream's id, to be passed to BytestreamManager::acceptBytestream() and BytestreamManager::rejectBytestream(), respectively.
from	The remote initiator of the bytestream request.

Implements BytestreamHandler.

Definition at line 288 of file siprofileft.cpp.

virtual bool handleIq ( const IQ & iq )

inlinevirtual

Reimplement this function if you want to be notified about incoming IQs.

Parameters

iq	The complete IQ stanza.

Returns: Indicates whether a request of type 'get' or 'set' has been handled. This includes the obligatory 'result' answer. If you return false, an 'error' will be sent.

Since: 1.0

Implements IqHandler.

Definition at line 316 of file siprofileft.h.

void handleIqID	(	const IQ &	iq,
		int	context
	)

virtual

Reimplement this function if you want to be notified about incoming IQs with a specific value of the id attribute. You have to enable tracking of those IDs using Client::trackID(). This is usually useful for IDs that generate a positive reply, i.e. <iq type='result' id='reg'/> where a namespace filter wouldn't work.

Parameters

iq	The complete IQ stanza.
context	A value to restore context, stored with ClientBase::trackID().

Note: Only IQ stanzas of type 'result' or 'error' can arrive here.

Since: 1.0

Implements IqHandler.

Definition at line 271 of file siprofileft.cpp.

void handleOutgoingBytestream ( Bytestream * bs )

virtual

Notifies the implementor of successful establishing of an outgoing bytestream request. The stream has been accepted by the remote entity and is ready to send data. The BytestreamHandler does not become the owner of the Bytestream object. Use SIProfileFT::dispose() to get rid of the bytestream object after it has been closed.

Parameters

bs	The new bytestream.

Implements BytestreamHandler.

Definition at line 300 of file siprofileft.cpp.
