[jdev] (Newbie question) Can Jabber act as a gateway for HTTPS-based WebDAV?

[Ajay Garg]

Hi all.

I have already posted the following query at "JAdmin" mailing list; but I
am not sure as to which mailing list is the appropriate one.

Anyhow, since my query refers to a very conceptual doubt, I am posting this
here as well, to avoid any delay. I am sorry if I sound too desperate, but
the answer to the following query is indispensable; only then can I decide
on the go/no-go for the design.


#######################################################################################################
There are two users Bob and Alice. Each of Bob and Alice have setup a
WebDAV server on their local machines over SSL, and listen on port 443. In
a normal environment, Bob is able to access Alice's share by typing
"https://<Alice's IP Address>/webdav". Alice is able to the same.

Next, both Alice and Bob log onto a Jabber server set up by their common
friend Tom; and the only way they can communicate is via Jabber. They still
want to make their shares available to each other; and wish for the
simplest way to do it - via their browser. So, can Tom configure his Jabber
server in a manner, so as to allow Bob and Alice to access each other's
WebDAV shares' via their respective browsers?

Looking forward to a reply.


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
