iJab is an Ajax-based Web application[1] instant messaging program for XMPP/Jabber[2]. It is free software[3] and users can run their own instant messaging without limitations or software cost, complimenting the XMPP philosophy of a distributed network. iJab is interpreted purely by the client[4] webbrowser. It runs solely in a browser and does not require downloading or installation of additional software[5][6].
iJab also developed iJabBar, a Facebook styled web chat client.
Features[edit]
- In-browser, non pop-up browser window[7]
- Sound
- Multi User Chat[8]
- Vcard Search
- Roster management
- HTTP Binding thereby allowing near realtime messaging (much like Push e-mail).
Proxying[edit]
Because of JavaScript's same origin policy a JavaScript program (such as iJab) can only communicate with the hosting webserver. All traffic must therefore be proxied by the webserver to the XMPP server. A webserver such as Apache can be configured to act as a reverse proxy. An alternative to this relaying of traffic is to use a minimal webserver in the XMPP server such as the module included in ejabberd.
