<abstract>This specification defines a Jingle application type for transferring files between two entities. The protocol provides a modular framework that enables the exchange of information about the file to be transferred as well as the negotiation of parameters such as the transport to be used.</abstract>

|
||||||
|
<p>&xep0096; defines the current XMPP protocol extension for file transfer. However, that protocol has several drawbacks, most related to the &xep0095; protocol on which it depends:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>It does not enable a true, bidirectional negotiation; instead, the initiator sets the terms for the file transfer and the receiver either accepts the terms or cancels the negotiation.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>It is the only technology in the Jabber/XMPP protocol "stack" that uses <cite>XEP-095: Stream Initiation</cite>. More modern technologies such as voice and video session negotiation use &xep0166;, and it would be helpful if implementors could use the same code for all negotiation use cases.</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
<p>To overcome these drawbacks, this specification defines a file transfer negotiation method that meets the following requirements:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Reuse the session negotiation semantics from <cite>XEP-0166</cite>.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Reuse the file description format from <cite>XEP-0096</cite>.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Define a clear upgrade path from <cite>XEP-0096</cite> to this specification.</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
</section1>
|
||||||

||||||
|
<section1 topic='How It Works' anchor='protocol'>
|
||||||
|
<p>This section provides a friendly introduction to Jingle file transfer.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>First, the party that wishes to initiate the file transfer determines the receiver's capabilities (via &xep0030; or &xep0115;). In this example, we assume that the receiver supports the following service discovery features (note: these features may not reflect final namespace assignments):</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>urn:xmpp:tmp:jingle</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>urn:xmpp:tmp:jingle:apps:file-transfer</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>urn:xmpp:tmp:jingle:transports:bytestreams</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>urn:xmpp:tmp:jingle:transports:ibb</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<p>The initiator then sends a Jingle session-initiation request to a potential receiver. The content-type of the request specifies two things:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>An application type of "urn:xmpp:tmp:jingle:apps:file-transfer" &NSNOTE;. In particular, the <description/> element contains an <offer/> or <request/> element that in turn contains a <file/> element qualified by the existing 'http://jabber.org/protocol/si/profile/file-transfer' namespace from <cite>XEP-0096</cite>.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>An appropriate transport method. Because the existing transport methods used in <cite>XEP-0096</cite> (i.e., &xep0065; and &xep0047;) are not yet defined as Jingle transport methods, this specification registers those definitions.</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
<p>In this example, the initiation request specifies a file offer and a transport method of bytestreams (i.e., XEP-065).</p>

|
<p>&xep0045; includes a protocol for inviting a contact to a chatroom. That protocol results in the sending of an invitation from the chatroom to the contact (a "mediated invitation"), not from the inviting user to the contact (a "direct invitation"). Because use of &xep0016; may result in blocking of XML stanzas from entities that are not in the contact's roster, mediated invitations may never be delivered to the contact. Therefore, this specification defines an XMPP extension that enables a user to directly send an invitation to a contact, thus routing around the blocking of mediated invitations. While the main use case for this protocol is multi-user chat, nothing in the protocol prevents it from being used to invite contacts to other types of services, such as &xep0060; services or future collaboration services.</p>

<section1 topic='Obtaining an Invitation' anchor='obtain'>
|
||||||
|
<p>In order to obtain an invitation that can be directly sent to a contact, a user requests an invitation token from the relevant service. For example, let us imagine that the user <crone1@shakespeare.lit> wishes to invite the contact <hecate@shakespeare.lit> to the chatroom <darkcave@macbeth.shakespeare.lit>. The user would send the following request to the room &NSNOTE;.</p>

||||||
|
<example caption='Token request'><![CDATA[

|

<p>If the room supports the direct invitation protocol and the user is allowed to invite contacts to the room, the room returns an invitation token to the user.</p>

<p>The syntax of the invitation is as follows.</p>
|

<ul>
|

<li>The 'expires' attribute defines a date and time when the invitation expires. Inclusion of this attribute is OPTIONAL. If included, it MUST be a DateTime as specified in &xep0082;.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The 'for' attribute defines the JabberID of the invitee. Inclusion of this attribute is REQUIRED.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The 'jid' attribute defines the JabberID of the service to which the invitee is being invited. Inclusion of this attribute is REQUIRED.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The XML character data of the <invitation/> element is the invitation token itself. The token MAY be generated according to any method deemed appropriate by the service implementation. It is RECOMMENED that the token be the hexadecimal representation of a Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (see &nistfips198a;) generated using the SHA256 hashing algorithm (see &nistfips180-2;), as described elsewhere in this document.</li>

<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
||||||
|
<p>Unfortunately, not all XMPP entities are well-behaved. Currently, if an XMPP entity sends abusive stanzas over a server-to-server connection, there is no way for the receiving server to inform the sending server that the sender is generating abusive traffic. In practice, the receiving server may need to terminate the server-to-server connection (again without explicitly informing the sending server about the reason for the termination) rather than continue to accept the abusive traffic.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>This situation is far from desirable. Therefore, this specification defines three small XMPP protocol functions that can help to improve the reliability of server-to-server connections:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>A method by which the receiving server can send an abuse report to the sending server, including the JID(s) of the sender(s).</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>An application-specific stanza error condition that can be combined with the standard ¬acceptable; stanza error condition to inform the sending server that a particular XMPP stanza is considered abusive.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>An application-specific stream error condition that can be combined with the standard &policy; stream error condition to inform the sending server about the reason for termination of an XML stream.</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
</section1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<section1 topic='Syntax' anchor='syntax'>
|
||||||
|
<p>An abuse report MUST be sent in an IQ stanza of type "set" containing an <abuse/> element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:tmp:abuse' namespace &NSNOTE;. The allowable children of the <abuse/> element are:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>One or more <jid/> elements whose XML character data specifies the JID(s) of the abusive sender(s)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>An optional <reason/> element that specifies the reason for the abuse report, via a machine-readable abuse condition defined in this specification, (optionally) human-readable text about the report, and (optionally) an application-specific condition defined outside this specification.</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<p>This specification intentionally does not define exactly what constitutes abuse, since "abuse is in the eye of the beholder". However, the following machine-readable conditions are defined as children of the <reason/> element.</p>

<p>This specification does not define how a sending server shall behave when it receives an abuse report. In general it is expected that the sending server (1) will notify the human administrators of the server in some implementation-specific or deployment-specific fashion, and (2) may use the abuse report in an automated fashion (e.g., as input to a rate-limiting algorithm, reputation system, or decision about temporarily suspending the privileges of the sending entity or entities). In addition, the sending server MAY the report to trusted parties such as third-party reporting services.</p>

|
||||||
|
<p>It is possible for an abusive sender to launch a denial of service attack against legitimate users of the sending server by generating abusive traffic over the server-to-server connection (in fact such attacks have already been observed on XMPP networks). Although use of the abuse reporting protocol does not completely prevent such attacks, it may at least enable sending servers to react to abusive traffic in close to real time, thus helping to "heal" the network when denial of service attacks are launched.</p>

<section2 topic='Man in the Middle Attacks' anchor='security-mitm'>
|

<p>If a malicious entity can inject information into the server-to-server connection, it can falsely send abuse reports to the sending server. Therefore the connection SHOULD be encrypted using Transport Layer Security as specified in &xmppcore;.</p>

&RFC3921BISNOTE;
|
||||||
|
<p><cite>RFC 3921</cite> specifies that an XMPP client must retrieve the entire roster on login. However, XMPP rosters can be quite large and often the roster has not changed since it was last retrieved. If the client could cache the roster and retrieve only changes to the roster, the login process could be significantly streamlined, which could be especially valuable over low-bandwidth connections such as those common in mobile environments. This document defines a method for such streamlining, via the concept of roster versioning.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Note: This document is provided for discussion purposes in order to improve roster management in XMPP systems. It is not meant to supersede the text in <cite>RFC 3921</cite>. However, the recommendations in this document may be folded into <cite>rfc3921bis</cite>.</p>
|
||||||
|
</section1>

|
<section1 topic='Protocol' anchor='proto'>
|
||||||
|
<p>This document specifies the addition of a 'version' attribute to the &QUERY; element qualified by the 'jabber:iq:roster' namespace, as well as a 'diff' attribute for use in roster results.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>The value of the 'version' attribute MUST be a non-negative integer representing a strictly increasing sequence number that is increased with any change to the roster (whether or not the client supports this extension) but MAY be a unique identifer that is opaque to the client but understood by the server. In any case, the 'version' attribute contained in <link url='#push'>roster pushes</link> MUST be unique. A "change to the roster" is any addition, update, or removal of a roster item that would result in a roster push, including changes in subscription states, as described in <cite>RFC 3921</cite> or <cite>rfc3921bis</cite>.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>The attribute is used as described in the following sections.</p>

||||||
|
<section2 topic='Advertising Support' anchor='feature'>
|
||||||
|
<p>If a server supports roster versioning, it MUST inform the client when returning stream features during the stream setup process, at the latest when informing the client that resource binding is required. This is done by including a <roster-versioning/> element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:tmp:roster-versioning' namespace &NSNOTE;.</p>

<section2 topic='Roster Get' anchor='get'>
|
||||||
|
<p>If a client supports roster versioning and knows that the server does so, it SHOULD include the 'version' attribute in its request for the roster, set to the last version it has cached.</p>

|
<example caption="Roster get with version number"><![CDATA[

|
||||||
|
]]></example>
|
||||||
|
<p>If the client has not yet cached the roster or the cache is lost or corrupted, but the client wishes to bootstrap the use of roster versioning, it SHOULD include the 'version' attribute set to a value of zero (0).</p>
|
||||||
|
</section2>
|
||||||
|
<section2 topic='Roster Result (Unchanged)' anchor='result-unchanged'>
|

<p>If the roster has not changed since the version enumerated by the client, the server MUST return an empty IQ-result.</p>

<section2 topic='Roster Result (Changed)' anchor='result-changed'>
|
||||||
|
<p>If the roster version has increased since the version enumerated by the client, the server MUST return a &QUERY; element that includes the latest version number.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>The &QUERY; element SHOULD include the effective "diff" since the roster version enumerated by the client (including the complete roster item with name, group, and subscription state). If the roster result is a diff and not the complete roster, the server MUST include a 'diff' attribute set to a value of "true" or "1" &BOOLEANNOTE;. If the roster result is the complete roster and not a diff, the server SHOULD NOT include the 'diff' attribute (which defaults to "false" or "0").</p>

<p>The "roster diff" can be understood as follows:</p>
|

<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>Imagine that the client had an active presence session for the entire time between its cached roster version (in this case, 305) and the new roster version (317).</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>During that time, the client would have received roster pushes related to roster versions 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, and 317.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>However, some of those roster pushes might have contained intermediate updates to the same roster item (e.g., changes in the subscription state for bill@shakespeare.lit from "none" to "to" and from "to" to "both").</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The roster result would not include all of the intermediate steps, only the final result of all changes applied while the client was in fact offline.</li>
