Revise OOB usage

ForNeVeR opened this issue · comments

According to #133 (comment) Kaiwa sometimes includes ordinary URLs as OOB data. At the same time, according to XEP-0066 (as a possible interpretation), we should use that mechanism only for some file-based URLs (such as links to images or maybe videos?).

I am opening this ticket for discussion of this question. Our current implementation is known for creating minor problems for some XMPP clients (e.g. TKabber). Maybe we would like to strip this functionality completely? What's the use of it?

This statement from XEP-0066 introduction may be of an additional interest:

[...] Although these mechanisms were originally used for out-of-band (OOB) data transfer, they are also used more generally to exchange or communicate URIs.
