Description steve 2009-10-19 13:03:32 UTC
In order to allow Empathy to use the ICQ file transfer feature, it is necessary to implement this in telepathy.

Pidgin and other messenger support this feature already.

As I read haze is just a wrapper around libpurple, so essentially the functionality should already be there?
Comment 3 Simon McVittie 2010-01-22 07:26:23 UTC
telepathy-haze needs code for each supported libpurple feature, to map that feature into the Telepathy API (this isn't always possible without improving libpurple first, due to assumptions made by the libpurple API that aren't actually true for Haze).

This has already been done for (for instance) basic presence, the roster and IMs, but not for file transfers. When it's done, this bug will be closed.

Any progress on this?
Comment 6 Brandon Watkins 2011-10-16 20:38:52 UTC
I would love to know if there is any progress on this... lack of aim file transfer is a huge issue in comparison to other IM clients.

Comment 8 Xavier Claessens 2012-11-29 11:37:33 UTC
We agreed on IRC (Rob, sjoerd, wjt and myself) that a good enough solution could be easily implemented like that:

let purple write to a /tmp file, then haze stream that file to handler who write to final location.

Not elegant, but at least it won't block on more spec changes.
