Support theses errbots methods with mattermost backend :

Thanks, you pointed out a bug in my mattermostdriver by creating this bug btw :-D

Do I understand you correctly, you want to be able to send files to errbot?
Example scenario:
User 1 uploads an image to mattermost.
User 2 makes an errbot command like !send_file_to_bot myFileID
The bot makes an api request get_files and receives the file as binary

Is that correct?

[inkhey]

Not really.
I'm thinking about a errbot that is able to send itself a file through send_stream_request() in mattermost.
But support for callback_stream() may be cool as well .

@Vaelor I checked a bit more about callback_stream() . It's look like in some protocol, they may be a callback or something like that each time a person upload into this protocol a file.

Example scenario :
User 1 upload an image to mattermost
The bot received the information with callback_stream() and upload the image somewhere else.

I don't know if this one (the callback) is possible in mattermost. I tried to find the slack backend implementation but i don't find it.

However send_stream_request() is working with Slack backend .
