HTTP to XMPP gateway

This is a dumb dumb gateay between HTTP and XMPP:

You POST some text over HTTP, text gets sent over XMPP.

Only one XMPP jid can receive message.

Installation

pip install http-to-xmpp

Setup

It can be configured either via environment variables:

$ export XMPP_DEST_JID=the_human_receiving_messages@the_server.org
$ export XMPP_JID=the_bot_account@the_server.org
$ export XMPP_PASSWORD=the_bot_password
$ http-to-xmpp

or via arguments, but beware of ps showing your password!

$ http-to-xmpp --xmpp-jid the_bot_account@the_server.org --xmpp-password the_bot_password --xmpp-dest-jid the_human_receiving_messages@the_server.org

HTTP host and port to listen to can be changed using --http-host and --http-port, they default to localhost:1985.

Usage

You just have to send POST requests, to / on the given host:port pair so by default, using curl, one can post messages using:

$ curl -XPOST -d Coucou localhost:1985
