Subject: silverlight vcard + file transfer

The sample code does not contain the vcard button in the matrix sdk, however the online version does.
Is it possible to get the latest version?

Do you plan to support file transfer over 7777 file proxy just like in .Net SDK?
Would it be any technical reaeson not to implement it or may I start working on it?

Thanks...

contact me by email and I can send you the vcard code.

there are currently no plans because of the following reasons:

port 7777 is not available in Silverlight. There is the port range restriction.

I think in a web application there are better and easier ways to exchange a file. Eg like Meebo does it. You can upload the file over HTTP to a server and just send a link to your contacts for download.

But I am open for other opinions and arguments.

Hi Alex,

I mean behind the 7777 is a File Transfer Proxy, which could be easily configured to listen on SL enabled port, and it's the advantage would be over the upload/download method, that you don't have to store the file on the server itself.
If I'm correct the File Transfer Proxy is a realtime connection proxy between the 2 clients, and streams the content realtime between them, am I right?

The question is, that to implement the client side code (like is done in agsxmpp sdk) the needed funcionality is implemented already in the Matrix SDK, or not yet?
In other words do you have to touch the Matrix also ar only the Client Sample?

Thx,
kakamatyi

none of this functionality is in MatriX yet. MatriX is like agsXMPP very extensible, so its also possible to add all the needed functionality in the client without any changes to MatriX.
