Re: [ecf-dev] DocShare through a firewall

Hi Bill,

I'm trying to use DocShare to experiment with collaborating with an offshore developer.
I've successfully shared with a local developer via XMPP and our internal jabber server. But the offshore developer is the other side of a firewall, and while the chat capabilities work, the document sharing doesn't.
This seems to me unlikely to be a firewall issue. Rather I suspect that
it's some issue with the configuration of the jabber server. The reason
is this...if it's possible to use the XMPP provider to connect and chat,
it should be possible to use docshare...since docshare is based upon the
datashare API, and for the xmpp provider this is implemented using the
xmpp message properties (i.e. data that is sent with xmpp messages). So
docshare on xmpp doesn't require a separate connection...it simply
reuses the existing connection.
But I have heard that some servers do not, by default, allow message
property traffic through....that they just don't allow message property
traffic through. So I would suggest first looking for xmpp message
properties support info for the jabber server (what jabber server are
you using, BTW?).
Thanks,
Scott
