+
+## 🔧 Technical Compatibility Matrix
+
+### XEP-0363 HTTP File Upload Protocol
+```
+Standard Flow (ALL clients use this):
+1. Client → XMPP Server: Request upload slot
+2. XMPP Server → HTTP Upload Server: Generate slot with HMAC
+3. HTTP Upload Server → Client: PUT URL + HMAC headers
+4. Client → HTTP Upload Server: PUT file with HMAC authentication
+5. HTTP Upload Server: Validates HMAC → 201 Created
+```
+
+### 🔐 HMAC Authentication Flow (IMMUTABLE)
+Our server supports the **standard XEP-0363 authentication methods**:
+
+#### Method 1: Authorization Header (Most Common)
+```http
+PUT /upload/file.jpg
+Authorization: Basic base64(hmac_signature)
+Content-Length: 12345
+```
+
+#### Method 2: Cookie Header
+```http
+PUT /upload/file.jpg
+Cookie: auth=hmac_signature
+Content-Length: 12345
+```
+
+#### Method 3: Custom Headers (Extended)
+```http
+PUT /upload/file.jpg
+X-HMAC-Signature: sha256=hmac_value
+X-HMAC-Timestamp: 1234567890
+Content-Length: 12345
+```
+
+## 🚀 Network Resilience Client Support
+
+### Mobile Connection Switching (WLAN ↔ 5G)
+- **XEP-0198 Stream Management**: **ALL modern clients support this**
+  - ✅ Conversations (Android)
+  - ✅ Monal (iOS)
+  - ✅ Dino (Linux)
+  - ✅ Gajim (Desktop)
+  - ✅ Kaidan (Cross-platform)
+
+### Connection Recovery Features
+1. **5-minute resumption window** (XEP-0198)
+2. **Automatic reconnection**
+3. **Message queue preservation**
+4. **Upload resumption** (client-dependent)
+
+## 🎯 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WIDE CLIENT COMPATIBILITY
+
+### 1. ✅ KEEP HMAC CORE UNCHANGED
+```toml
+# This configuration ensures maximum compatibility
+[hmac]
+secret = "production_secret_here"
+algorithm = "sha256"
+v1_support = true  # filename + " " + content_length
+v2_support = true  # filename + "\x00" + content_length + "\x00" + content_type
+token_support = true  # Simple token validation
+```
+
+### 2. ✅ HTTP Headers We Support (XEP-0363 Standard)
+```go
+// Our server correctly implements these headers for ALL clients
+allowedHeaders := []string{
+    "Authorization",  // Most common - HMAC signature
+    "Cookie",        // Alternative authentication
+    "Expires",       // Upload timeout
+}
+```
+
+### 3. ✅ CORS Configuration (Web Client Support)
+```toml
+[http]
+cors_enabled = true
+cors_origins = ["*"]
+cors_methods = ["OPTIONS", "HEAD", "GET", "PUT"]
+cors_headers = ["Authorization", "Content-Type", "Content-Length"]
+cors_credentials = true
+```
+
+### 4. ✅ Network Resilience Integration
+```toml
+[network_resilience]
+enabled = true
+detection_interval = "1s"
+quality_threshold = 0.7
+mobile_optimization = true
+```
+
