The details are at http://jabber.org/?oid=971 and it actually works with
the PUT or POST methods, and should work over ssl if you have your server
built to support ssl as well.

Although it's built into the default socket manager that comes w/ 1.4,
it's not yet been included into any of the external socket manager
projects that I know of, although it shouldn't be hard for them to add
support if people find it useful.
