Offline File Transfer XMPP

I need a Openfire plugin component or direction to develop myself to deal with offline file sharing. In one of our IM applications for iOS (like WhatsApp) we use Stream Initiation to transfer a file using a media proxy. This works ok, however if the recipient is offline you can't setup the bytestream. To overcome this limitation I'm looking for alternatives and one i'm looking into is:

  1. If SI fails because recipient is offline the file is transfered to a custom openfire module that store the file and original message
  2. A openfire plugin or server component will send the file and message once the recipient becomes available (online)

Anyone have experience with this and or has complemenatry ideas

You can extend and modify XEP-0065 and the Openfire code so that it stores your file for later download.

You can also use something totally different like XEP-0066 for example, upload the files to a web or webdav server and just send the link with OOB for later download.

I am not aware of a standardized XEP for this. So you have to develop your own. The only existing project I am aware of is Jabber Disk http://dev.jabbim.cz/jdisk
