Quoting malu: I think using BoB is not an option for IM images, since it's designed for small pieces of data, to avoid stream negotiating, etc.

I agree.

What XEP is prefer for sending images?

Changed 7 months ago by darkrain42

As the size of the image grows, move from BoB to IBB to SOCKS5 Bytestream (IBB is almost certainly good enough for everything), but such a solution needs to follow an XEP (which is not yet written) so that other clients know how to handle such an image (and Pidgin can determine if a specific buddy will support receiving images).
