# XMPP
A basic module for IM using the Jabber/XMPP protocol with PLT Scheme.
## Protocol Support
Should eventually implement XMPP-Core and XMPP-IM to conform with RFCs
3920 and 3921. Progress toward supporting the full protocol is
currently documented in the file `xmpp.ss`
## Installation
(require (planet zzkt/xmpp))
## Session
It is necessary to establish a session with a Jabber server before
sending any messages or presence updates. This can be done manually,
or with the help of `with-xmpp-session`.
## Sending
Once a session is established, the `send` function can be used to send
messages, presence updates or queries.
(with-xmpp-session jid pass
(send (message "user@host" "some random message")))
Where `jid` is the senders jid and `pass` is the password. A presence
update can be sent as `(send (presence #:status "garden path"))` and
queries are similar `(send (iq #:type get))`
## Response Handlers
A handler can be registered to respond to `'message` `'presence` `'iq` or
`'other` stanzas. Note that an `'iq` handler will receive any error
messages from the server
(set-xmpp-handler 'message print-message)
## Example Chat Client
(require xmpp)
(define (read-input prompt)
(display prompt)
(read-line (current-input-port)))
(define (chat)
(let ((jid (read-input "jid: "))
(pass (read-input "password: "))
(to (read-input "chat with: ")))
(with-xmpp-session jid pass
(set-xmpp-handler 'message print-message)
(let loop ()
(let ((msg (read-line (current-input-port))))
(send (message to msg))
(loop))))))
## possibly interesting extensions to implement.
