1 Download and decrypt encrypted files uploaded by the Conversations XMPP client
2 using the mechanism from XEP-0363: HTTP Upload:

5 This is basically a translation in python of ImageDownlaoder:

8 However there are some differences:
9 - The file is saved on local storage instead of being written on the
10 standard output, this way xdg-open can be used to open it.
11 - The wrapper script uses xdg-open, this is a more generic approach which
12 works with different file types.
13 - The wrapper script downloads the file to a temporary directory, this way
14 it can be invoked multiple times without the risk of overwriting existing
17 Some snippets were taken from python-omemo:

22 ./conversations_http_downloader.py http://host.tld/path/to/file.jpg#theivandkey
24 The open_wrapper.sh script can be used in gajim as a browser command to
25 download, decrypt, and open the files automatically.
27 Here are some directions to set it up:
30 git clone https://git.ao2.it/conversations_http_downloader.git/
31 cd conversations_http_downloader
33 realpath open_wrapper.sh
35 and save the printed path in the clipboard.
39 - go to the menu item "Edit -> Preferences",
40 - In the "Preferences" dialog choose the "Advanced" tab,
41 - in the "Applications" section choose "Custom",
42 - paste the path from the clipboard in the "Browser" field.
44 Now encrypted files can be opened seamlessly by just clicking on them.
