When you get a file though, the HTTP Upload service of

The other issue is when you receive a file/image from some random domain, in
this case the simplest option is to use a proxy which will get the file for
you.
A specification to indicate to XMPP clients where to find a proxy would be nice,
it has already been talked about in the past.
The specification already exists - https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0215.html
Currently the XEP is well known for being the way to discover
STUN/TURN services offered by your server. It's actually generic
though, and is the perfect place to advertise a proxy service (with
associated credentials).
I plan to include such a proxy in Snikket at some point. In the
meantime, if any client devs are interested in working on this then
I'm happy to set up a test Prosody instance that advertises such a
proxy.
