mod_http_upload - HTTP File Upload (XEP-0363) using Ruby on Rails

Question

I want to transfer image between users in my chat application. I am using an ejabberd server for chat. As I found out, the module which could do this is mod_http_upload - HTTP File Upload (XEP-0363).

I am not able to figure out how to implement this. Anybody how could help me in figuring out how to do this will be very helpful.

Answer 1

In order to use this module add configuration setting in ejabberd.yml file

listen:
    # add following lines in listen section
    -
      module: ejabberd_http
      port: 5443
      tls: true
      certfile: "/etc/ejabberd/example.com.pem"
      request_handlers:
        "": mod_http_upload

  access:    # add following lines in access section
    soft_upload_quota:
      all: 1000 # MiB
    hard_upload_quota:
      all: 1100 # MiB

  modules:  #add following lines in modules section 
      mod_http_upload:
      docroot: "/home/xmpp/upload"
      put_url: "http://@HOST@:5443"

upload file on this url (according to your setting url) http://@HOST@:5443 as you do in ruby on rails .For more detail about configuration of module check this link- https://github.com/processone/ejabberd-contrib/blob/master/mod_http_upload/README.txt

after uploading file you can send link(url) to user for downloading file.
