<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
|
<p>The traditional model for one-to-one chat "sessions" in Jabber/XMPP is for a user to simply send a message to a contact without any formal negotiation of chat session parameters (e.g., see &xmppim;). This informal approach to initiation of a chat session is perfectly acceptable in many contexts, environments, and cultures. However, it may be desirable to formally request the chat and negotiate its parameters before beginning the chat session in some circumstances, such as:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Whenever parameters specific to a chat session must be agreed. e.g., security and privacy parameters (see &jep0116; and &jep0136;).</li>
|
|
<li>The parties are unknown to each other, have not exchanged presence, or have not discovered their respective capabilities via &jep0030; or &jep0115;.</li>
|
|
<li>When an XMPP-based system interfaces with a SIP-based system built on top of &rfc3261;. <note>In essence, a chat state negotiation request as specified herein is functionally equivalent to a SIP INVITE request, and acceptance of such a request is functionally equivalent to sending a SIP 200 OK response; see Section 17 of <cite>RFC 3261</cite>.</note></li>
|
|
<li>Within an organization or culture in which one would not simply begin chatting with another person (e.g., a superior) without first receiving permission to do so.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>This proposal defines best practices for such a negotiation, re-using the protocol defined in &jep0020;.</p>
|
|
</section1>

<section1 topic='Use Cases' anchor='usecases'>

|
<section2 topic='Initiating a Chat' anchor='initiate'>
|
|
<p>In order to initiate a negotiated chat session, the initiating party ("user") sends a &MESSAGE; stanza to the receiving party ("contact") containing a <feature/> child qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/feature-neg' namespace. The &MESSAGE; stanza MUST NOT contain a &BODY; child element (as specified in &rfc3921;). The &MESSAGE; stanza is used because the user does not necessarily know which of the contact's resources is most available (or indeed if the contact is online). The &MESSAGE; stanza type SHOULD be "normal" (either explicitly or by non-inclusion of the 'type' attribute). The stanza SHOULD include an 'id' attribute and MUST contain a &THREAD; element for tracking purposes (where the newly-generated ThreadID is unique to the proposed session). The data form MUST contain a hidden FORM_TYPE field whose value is "http://jabber.org/protocol/chatneg" and MUST contain a boolean field named "accept". &BOOLEANNOTE;</p>

<p>In the foregoing example, Romeo requests a chat with Juliet and also queries her regarding whether she wants to disable all message logging (see &jep0136;) <note>A client MUST NOT set the 'otr' field to 'true' unless it has confirmed that its server will allow it to switch off Automated Archiving (see <cite>Message Archiving</cite>).</note> and support &jep0071; and &jep0085; extensions during this chat session. (Note: These fields are examples only; a full set of chat session negotiation parameters will be registered as described in the <link url='#registrar'>Jabber Registrar Considerations</link> section of this document.)</p>
|
|
<p>Juliet's server delivers Romeo's request to her most available resource (which happens to be "balcony").</p>
|
|
<p>In any response to the request, the contact's client MUST mirror the 'id' attribute and &THREAD;value so that the user's client can correctly track the response.</p>
|
|
<p>We assume that Juliet accepts the chat and specifies that she does not want to log messages or use XHTML formatting but that she does want to use Chat State Notifications:</p>

<p>If Juliet's client does not support feature negotiation or does not support the "http://jabber.org/protocol/chatneg" FORM_TYPE, it SHOULD return a &unavailable; error. However, if Juliet does not want to reveal her presence to Romeo for whatever reason, or she is using a legacy client that does not support returning a &unavailable; error, then her client MAY return no error. In this case Romeo MAY, proceed to send stanzas to Juliet outside the context of a negotiated chat session.</p>

<section2 topic='Terminating a Chat' anchor='terminate'>
|
|
<p>In order to explicitly terminate a negotiated chat, the party that wishes to end the chat MUST do so by sending a &MESSAGE; containing a data form of type "submit". The &MESSAGE; stanza SHOULD possess an 'id' attribute and MUST contain a &THREAD; element with the same XML character data as the original initiation request. The data form containing a boolean field named "terminate" set to a value of "1" or "true" and MAY also contain a "reason" field.</p>

<p>The other party's client MAY explicitly acknowledge the termination of the chat by sending a &MESSAGE; containing a data form of type "result", with no "reason" field and the value of the "terminate" field set to "1" or "true".

<section1 topic='Mapping to SIP' anchor='sip'>
|
|
<p>When mapping instant messaging flows to SIP, implementations SHOULD adhere to &xmppsimple;.</p>
|
|
<p>In addition, the following mappings apply to chat session negotiation:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Initiation of a negotiated chat session maps to the semantics of the SIP INVITE method.</li>
|
|
<li>Renegotiation of a negotiated chat session also maps to the semantics of the SIP INVITE method.</li>
|
|
<li>Termination of a negotiated chat session maps to the semantics of the SIP BYE method.</li>
|
|
<li>The XMPP &THREAD; value maps to the semantics of the SIP Call-ID attribute.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</section1>
|
|
<section1 topic='Implementation Notes' anchor='impl'>
|
|
<p>A client MAY require a human user to approve each chat session negotiation request or MAY auto-accept and auto-reject requests based on some user-configurable policy.</p>
|
|
<p>If a party receives XMPP presence of type "unavailable" from the full JID (&FULLJID;) of the other party (i.e., the resource with which it has had an active session) during a chat session, the receiving party MAY assume that the other client will still be unable to continue the session (perhaps it simply became "invisible", or it is persisting the state of the negotiated chat until it reconnects and receives "offline" messages).
|
|
However, if the receiving party assumes that the other client will <em>not</em> be able to continue the session, then it MUST explicitly terminate the session (see <link url='#terminate'>Terminating a Chat</link>) - since its assumption could be incorrect. If the receiving party later receives presence of type "available" from that same resource or another resource associated with the other party and the receiving party desires to restart the chat session, it MUST initiate a new chat session (including a newly-generated ThreadID) with the other party rather than renegotiate parameters for the terminated session. (Note: This is consistent with the handling of chat states as specified in <cite>JEP-0085</cite>.)</p>

<section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
|
|
<p>If a contact accepts a user's request or returns an error to the user, the user will effectively discover the contact's presence (at least the presence of one of the contact's resources). Due care must therefore be exercised in determining whether to accept the request or return an error. For examples, the contact's client SHOULD NOT <em>automatically</em> (i.e. without first asking the contact) either accept the user's request or return an error to the user unless the user is subscribing to the contact's presence (and the contact's presence is not currently "invisible" to the user). Furthermore, the contact's client MUST NOT take either action if the user is in the contact's block list.</p>
