Messaging notes
===============
To replicate messages between multiple SIP devices, discover PGP keys and
receive messages while offline, one must install SylkServer and configure it
with Cassandra storage backend, see https://sylkserver.com
These features are compatible with other SIP clients that implement the same
API, currently Blink for Mac and Sylk Mobile are known to support the same
API as Blink Qt.
The SIP Proxy for the account must fork a copy of all SIP messages to
SylkServer. When properly configured, SylkServer will respond to SIP
messages sent by Blink with the following content types:
* application/sylk-api-token (will auto discover the URL and index for offline storage)
* application/sylk-api-pgp-key-lookup (will return the OpenPGP key if exists)
All settings are subsequently auto-discovered by Blink.
To replicate messages from multiple devices they all must use the same
private PGP key. The import PGP panel is presented at start of messaging
sessions for each account. The key can be exported from another device that
implement the same API (see Chat menu item Export PGP private key) or can be
copied manually to ~/.blink/keys/private configuration folder with the
following convention:
* user@domain.privkey
* user@domain.pubkey
The public keys of the recipients are looked up in SylkServer at the start
of a messaging session. If a key is found, it will be returned as SIP
message with a special content type recognized by Blink and saved in a file
e.g. ~/.blink/keys/user@domain.pubkey
