I'm on my phone, so sorry about the brief responses. It sounds like you're looking for a solution in want of a problem, though. I can't think of a use case where this would be necessary. So you're saying alice and bob have inbound 443 or whatever blocked at their upstream, and you want to tunnel webdav through jabber somehow? Or use the jabber server as an intermediary? How would this work on the client side? So I log in with a webclient you're developing and I'd see the other users' shared files? Or I'd use pidgin or whatever and then use my browser to connect to some url on the jabber server? I guess I don't really understand what you're trying to do

Thanks Garrett for the link.

Well, that certainly is an option; but I am wishing something which has already been tested in field.

I am thinking if the Jabber server could simply act as a gateway for HTTP transfers between Alice and Bob.
I did some googling and found terms such as "Jabber HTTP Polling", "BOSH", "XMPP over BOSH" (though I am afraid I haven't looked a bit in the details).

Could these come to the rescue? :)

Ajay
