It is nice receiving emails from people and firms about my project – TransferHTTP. I was contacted late last year by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle and Sun) on the project. And yesterday, Ribbit Corporation also indicated interest in my work. Below are the mails from both firms, most likely one of their developers.

to date subject mailed-by Hi,
A colleague of mine showed me this project and it looks very exciting to me.
We are working a converged application framework (http://sailfin-cafe.dev.java.net)
for writing converged web/sip services quickly.I wanted to start using your plugin for some blogs and examples in the beginning. Would
it work with firefox 3.x? Do you have plans to create plugins for other browsers?thanks,
B***d.

Subject: Transfer HTTP
Michael,
Im wondering what the status of the Transfer HTTP project and if you had any plans to extend this to work on other platforms and browsers? At Ribbit we are quite interested in this kind of approach to Web Telephony and could possible help extend this work.
Thanks,

My response has always been the same. I currently do not consider developing the extension for other Web browsers/platforms. The implementation was a proof of concept. Although the site (http://transferhttp.mozdev.org/installation.html) does not contain the FF 3.x version of the extension, I could provide anyone interested with the installer/source code. I hope to push the FF 3.x version of the extension to the site soon. I am also very happy to work with the firm/anyone interested in extending the work. Both TransferHTTP and TransferHTTPController were released under open-source licenses.
If anyone is interested in seeing how the extension works, here is a demo on it – http://bit.ly/pQVKX. And for the control services or proxy, here is its demo – http://bit.ly/7XPhc
