Disco Dancing with XMPP
There are many things one can do via XMPP. The list is
endlist. But one thing that some forget about is discovering
services a XMPP entity or server provides. In most cases a human or
user does not care about this information and should not care. But
you may have a website or web application that needs this
information in order to decide what options to show to your
users. You can do this very easily with JQuery, Strophe, and
Punjab.
We start with Punjab or a BOSH connection manager. This is
needed so we can connect to a XMPP server. First, lets download
punjab.
svn co https://code.stanziq.com/svn/punjab/trunk punjab
After we have punjab go into the directory and install punjab.
cd punjab
python setup.py install
Then create a .tac file to configure Punjab.
See punjab.tac
Next, we will need Strophe. Lets download thelatest version from
svn too.
cd /directory/where/you/configured/punjab/html
svn co https://code.stanziq.com/svn/strophe/trunk/strophejs
In your html directory you will then begin to create your disco browser.
Version 1 we take the basic example and modify it to do disco.
Version 2 we add anonymous login
Version 3 we make it pretty
Version 4 we add handlers for different services
