<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
|
<section2 topic='Motivation' anchor='motivation'>
|
|
<p>It is often desirable for an XMPP application (commonly but not necessarily a client) to take different actions depending on the capabilities of another application from which it receives presence information. Examples include:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Showing a different set of icons depending on the capabilities of other entities.</li>
|
|
<li>Not sending &xep0071; or other rich content to plaintext clients such as cell phones.</li>
|
|
<li>Allowing the initiation of a Voice over IP (VoIP) session only to clients that support &xep0166; and &xep0167;.</li>
|
|
<li>Not showing a "Send a File" button if another user's client does not support &xep0096;.</li>
|
|
<li>Filtering &xep0060; notifications based on advertised subscriber interests.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>In the past, some Jabber clients sent one &xep0030; and one &xep0092; request to each entity from which they received presence after login. That "disco+version flood" resulted in an excessive use of bandwidth and was impractical on a larger scale, particularly for users or applications with large rosters. Therefore this document defines a more robust and scalable solution: namely, a presence-based mechanism <note>This proposal is not limited to clients, and can be used by any entity that exchanges presence with another entity, e.g., a gateway. However, this document uses the example of clients throughout.</note> for exchanging information about entity capabilities. Clients should not engage in the older "disco+version flood" behavior and instead should use Entity Capabilities as specified herein.</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='How It Works' anchor='howitworks'>
|
|
<p>This section provides a friendly introduction to entity capabilities.</p>
|
|
<p>Imagine that you are a Shakespearean character named Juliet and one of your contacts, a handsome fellow named Romeo, becomes available. His client wants to publish its capabilities, and does this by adding a <c/> element with special attributes to its presence packets. As a result, your client receives the following presence packet:</p>
|
|
<code><![CDATA[
|
|
<presence from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'>
|
|
<c xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/caps'
|
|
node='http://exodus.jabberstudio.org/#0.9.1'
|
|
ver='8RovUdtOmiAjzj+xI7SK5BCw3A8='/>
|
|
</presence>
|
|
]]></code>
|
|
<p>The 'node' attribute represents the client Romeo is using (the client identifier is an "FYI" and is not used further in Entity Capabilities). The 'ver' attribute is a specially-constructed string that represents the identity (see &DISCOCATEGORIES;) and supported features (see &DISCOFEATURES;) of the entity.</p>
|
|
<p>At this point, your client has no idea what the capabilities are of someone with a version string '8RovUdtOmiAjzj+xI7SK5BCw3A8='. Your client therefore sends a service discovery query to Romeo, asking what his client can do.</p>
|
|
<code><![CDATA[
|
|
<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/chamber'
|
|
id='disco1'
|
|
to='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
|
|
type='get'>
|
|
<query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/>
|
|
</iq>
|
|
]]></code>
|
|
<p>The response is:</p>
|
|
<code><![CDATA[
|
|
<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard'
|
|
id='disco1'
|
|
to='juliet@capulet.lit/chamber'
|
|
type='result'>
|
|
<query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'>
|
|
<identity category='client' type='pc'/>
|
|
<feature var='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/>
|
|
<feature var='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items'/>
|
|
<feature var='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc'/>
|
|
</query>
|
|
</iq>
|
|
]]></code>
|
|
<p>At this point, your client knows that anyone advertising a version string of '8RovUdtOmiAjzj+xI7SK5BCw3A8=' has a client that can do &xep0045; and the other features returned by Romeo's client (the string can be relied upon because of how it is generated and checked as explained later in this document). Your client remembers this information, so that it does not need to explicitly query the capabilities of a contact with the same version string. For example, Benvolio may send you the following presence:</p>
|
|
<code><![CDATA[
|
|
<presence from='benvolio@capulet.lit/230193'>
|
|
<c xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/caps'
|
|
node='http://psi-im.org/#0.11'
|
|
ver='8RovUdtOmiAjzj+xI7SK5BCw3A8='/>
|
|
</presence>
|
|
]]></code>
|
|
<p>Now your client automatically knows that Benvolio can do MUC, without needing to ask him explicitly via service discovery.</p>
|
|
<p>On the other hand, for a person with the following presence ...</p>
|
|
<code><![CDATA[
|
|
<presence from='nurse@capulet.lit/chamber'>
|
|
<c xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/caps'
|
|
node='http://psi-im.org/#0.10'
|
|
ver='uCoVCteRe3ty2wU2gHxkMaA7xhs='/>
|
|
</presence>
|
|
]]></code>
|
|
<p>... or the following presence ...</p>
|
|
<code><![CDATA[
|
|
<presence from='bard@shakespeare.lit/globe'>
|
|
<c xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/caps'
|
|
node='http://www.chatopus.com/#2.2'
|
|
ver='zHyEOgxTrkpSdGcQKH8EFPLsriY='/>
|
|
</presence>
|
|
]]></code>
|
|
<p>... you have no information about what this contact's client is capable of unless you have cached previous entity capabilities information; therefore you need to query for capabilities explicitly again via service discovery.</p>

<section1 topic='Assumptions' anchor='assumptions'>
|
|
<p>This document makes several assumptions:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The type of client I am using is of interest to the people in my roster.</li>
|
|
<li>Clients for the people on my roster might want to make user interface decisions based on my capabilities.</li>
|
|
<li>Different clients may support the same capabilities.</li>
|
|
<li>Members of a community tend to cluster around a small set of clients with a small set of capabilities. More specifically, multiple people in my roster use the same client, and they upgrade versions relatively slowly (commonly a few times a year, perhaps once a week at most, certainly not once a minute).</li>
|
|
<li>Some clients are running against servers without server-to-server connectivity enabled, and without access to the Internet via HTTP.</li>
|
|
<li>Conversations are possible between users who are not on each other's rosters.</li>
|
|
<li>Client capabilities may change over the course of a presence session, due to features being enabled and disabled.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</section1>
|
|
|
|
<section1 topic='Requirements' anchor='reqs'>
|
|
<p>The protocol defined herein addresses the following requirements:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Clients must be able to participate even if they support only &xmppcore;, &xmppim;, and <cite>XEP-0030</cite>.</li>
|
|
<li>Clients must be able to participate even if they are on networks without connectivity to other XMPP servers, services offering specialized XMPP extensions, or HTTP servers.<note>These first two requirements effectively eliminated &xep0060; as a possible implementation of entity capabilities.</note></li>
|
|
<li>Clients must be able to retrieve information without querying each user.</li>
|
|
<li>Since presence is normally broadcasted to many users, the byte size of the proposed extension must be as small as possible.</li>
|
|
<li>It must be possible to write a XEP-0045 server implementation that passes the given information along.</li>
|
|
<li>It must be possible to publish a change in capabilities within a single presence session.</li>
|
|
<li>Server infrastructure above and beyond that defined in <cite>XMPP Core</cite> and <cite>XMPP IM</cite> must not be required for this approach to work, although additional server infrastructure may be used for optimization purposes.</li>

<section1 topic='Generation of ver Attribute' anchor='ver'>
|
|
<p>In order to help prevent poisoning of entity capabilities information, the value of the 'ver' attribute MUST be generated according to the following method.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: All sorting operations MUST be performed using "i;octet" collation as specified in Section 9.3 of &rfc4790;.</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Initialize an empty string S.</li>
|
|
<li>Sort the service discovery identities by category and then by type (if it exists), formatted as 'category' '/' 'type'.</li>
|
|
<li>For each identity, append the 'category/type' to S, followed by the '<' character.</li>
|
|
<li>Sort the supported features.</li>
|
|
<li>For each feature, append the feature to S, followed by the '<' character.</li>
|
|
<li>Compute ver by hashing S using the SHA-1 algorithm as specified in &rfc3174; (with binary output) and encoding the hash using Base64 as specified in Section 4 of &rfc4648; (note: the Base64 output MUST NOT include whitespace and MUST set padding bits to zero). <note>The OpenSSL command for producing such output is "echo -n 'S' | openssl dgst -binary -sha1 | openssl enc -nopad -base64".</note></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>For example, consider an entity whose service discovery category is "client", whose service discovery type is "pc", and whose supported features are "http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info", "http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items", and "http://jabber.org/protocol/muc". The value of the 'ver' attribute would be generated as follows:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>S = ''</li>
|
|
<li>Only one identity: "client/pc"</li>
|
|
<li>S = 'client/pc<'</li>
|
|
<li>Sort the features: "http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info", "http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items", "http://jabber.org/protocol/muc".</li>
|
|
<li>S = 'client/pc<http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info<http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items<http://jabber.org/protocol/muc<'</li>
|
|
<li>ver = 8RovUdtOmiAjzj+xI7SK5BCw3A8=</li>

<section2 topic='Advertising Capabilities' anchor='advertise'>
|
|
<p>Each time a conformant entity sends presence, it annotates that presence with an entity identifier ('node' attribute) and identity and feature identifier ('ver' attribute). In order that servers can remember the last presence for use in responding to probes, the client SHOULD include entity capabilities with every presence change.</p>
|
|
<p>If the supported features change during a client's presence session (e.g., a user installs an updated version of a client plugin), the application MUST recompute the 'ver' attribute and SHOULD send a new presence broadcast.</p>

<p>The client MUST check the identities and supported features against the 'ver' value by calculating the hash as described under <link url='#ver'>Generating the ver Attribute</link> and making sure that the values match. If the values do not match, the client MUST NOT accept or cache the 'ver' value as reliable and SHOULD check the value of another user who advertises that value (if any).

|
|
<p>A server that is managing an entity's presence session MAY choose to optimize traffic through the server. In this case, the server MAY strip off redundant capabilities annotations. Because of this, receivers of annotations MUST NOT expect an annotation on every presence packet they receive. If the server wants to perform this traffic optimization, it MUST ensure that the first presence each subscriber receives contains the annotation. The server MUST also ensure that any changes in the annotation (e.g., an updated 'ver' attribute)(e.g., an updated 'ver' attribute) are sent to all subscribers.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A client MAY query the server using <strong>disco#info</strong> to determine if the server supports the <strong>'http://jabber.org/protocol/caps'</strong> feature. If so, the server MUST perform the optimization delineated above, and the client MAY choose to send the capabilities annotation only on the first presence packet, as well as whenever its capabilities change.</p>

|
|
<p>If two entities exchange messages but they do not normally exchange presence (i.e., via presence subscription), the entities MAY choose to send directed presence to each other, where the presence information SHOULD be annotated with the same capabilities information as each entity sends in broadcasted presence. If capabilities information has not been received from another entity, an application MUST assume that the other entity does not support capabilities.</p>
|

</section1>
|
|
|
|
<section1 topic='Caching' anchor='caching'>
|
|
<p>An application that accepts entity capabilities information SHOULD cache associations between the 'ver' attribute and discovered features within the scope of one presence session and MAY cache such associations across sessions. This obviates the need for extensive service discovery requests within a session or at the beginning of a session.</p>

<section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
|
|
<p>Use of the protocol specified in this document might make some client-specific forms of attack slightly easier, since the attacker could more easily determine the type of client being used. However, since most clients respond to Service Discoery and Software Version requests without performing access control checks, there is no new vulnerability. Entities that wish to restrict access to capabilities information SHOULD use &xep0016; to define appropriate communications blocking (e.g., an entity MAY choose to allow IQ requests only from "trusted" entities, such as those with whom it has a subscription of "both").</p>

|
<p>Adherence to the algorithm defined in the <link url='#ver'>Generation of ver Attribute</link> section of this document for both generation and checking of the 'ver' attribute helps to guard against poisoning of entity capabilities information by malicious or improperly implemented entities.</p>

<section1 topic='Legacy Format' anchor='legacy'>
|
|
<p>Before Version 1.4 of this specification, the 'ver' attribute was generated differently and the 'ext' attribute was used more extensively. For historical purposes, Version 1.3 of this specification is archived at <<link url='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/attic/xep-0115-1.3.html'>http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/attic/xep-0115-1.3.html</link>>. For backward-compatibility with the legacy format, the 'node' attribute is REQUIRED and the 'ext' attribute MAY be included.</p>
