Student: Yuki Mitsui

HTTP Jabber Interface
Goal: Develop a PHP-based implementation of XEP-0124 and XEP-0025 for improved integration between web applications and XMPP.

It will use a database to store messages and forward it to the Jabber server. It relays those messages and returns the response from the jabber server to the client.

The HTTP is used to relay the jabber messages and hence it can be used with any HTTP server and doesnt need any new port permissions to be assigned. Hence making the Jabber to work in even restricted environments.
