I assume you are talking about my remark about a server component.. By this I meant 
making the inband data available through HTTP and vicaversa: having the component 
GET the data or letting it be POST/PUT by the sender, then sending it inband. Since 
the inband data (data within the xml stream, contained in an x element) most likely 
will be in yEnc or Base64>  I think you can speak of a conversion: converting 
yEnc/Base64 to "normal" and back, and converting the jabber protocol to the HTTP 
protocol and back. But maybe "convert" isn't the best description (or maybe "inband 
data" isn't). "Fetch" doesn't cover it either though...
