I searched all kind of questions but dint find any perfect answer. How can and send images to other user using strophe js?? Is there any direct way of plugin to do that??

Please help

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

in XMPP, sending images is about doing file transfer. This is not really convenient to do in a browser. You should look into a solution based on custom XMPP signalling and HTTP file upload / download.
