Good day to one and all!
I want to know if it is possible to make a pseudo or temporary node.
Use case:
I am building a system which provides API for both HTTP and XMPP.
HTTP: http://eustace.i2p/feed/tag/mullins
XMPP: xmpp:eustace.i2p?pubsub;action=subscribe;node=tag:mullins
Both requests retrieve cached database entries tagged with "mullins".
Both HTTP pathname and XMPP node do not exist.
Concerning to XMPP, is it possible to do as follows?
1) Receive a request to read a PubSub node.
2) Check whether the requested PubSub node exists.
3) If the requested PubSub node does not exist, create it.
4) Populate the node with items.
5) Send a positive respond.
Best regards,
Schimon

Subject: Re: [Standards] Re: Bibliography and PubSub
Greetings, everyone!
I am working on a "social" bookmarking system which is solely based on
XMPP PubSub and Atom Syndication Format (i.e. XEP-0277 and XEP-0472).
The benefits, as you already know* are:
1. The data is always stored on your account, because the system only
provides an interface to make use of your own PubSub in a certain
fashion, hence there is no need to worry whether or not the system
shuts down or otherwise, so if someone decides to turn it off,
someone else can run his own system and your bookmarks are still
available.
2. The server does not store the data, so there is no need for a lot of
storage to operate it.
3. No registration is required. Only an XMPP account.
Note that for statistics and ease of intermediating people inside the
system, it is essential to maintain a database, yet not all data has to
be stored, which means that if the top 1,000,000 most popular links are
important to you, for the sake of keeping the traffic, then there is no
need for more than 200MB to 500MB of a storage disk for an SQLite
database.
* I am writing this information for people from outside of XMPP.
Currently, the system is perfectly useable by a one man.
Yet, I do need help in enhancing that system to allow access to
multiple people at the same time.
I was thinking of using the "cookies" system to store sessions and
to link the received session value with the one which is store on
runtime:
accounts[jid] = XmppInstance(jid + '/blasta', password)
sessions[jid] = str(random.random())
I am using Pyhton FastAPI and Slixmpp for that task.
I would greately appreciate your assistance.
Best regards,
Schimon

Good day to one and all!
I have sent a ticket regarding to XMPP to a new HTML browser called
LadyBird.
https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/issues/709
I have suggested a couple of ideas as to how XMPP can be integrated
into a browser.
I suggest people to follow that ticket or add to it their ideas of how
XMPP would be useful inside an HTML browser, and because this is not a
corporate controlled browser, with the bad influence some corporations
encompass on internet projects, I sense that it is a good opportunity
to make suggestions related to XMPP.
This is a link to the site https://ladybird.org/
Kind regards,
Schimon
