<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 &xep0116; and &xep0136;).</li>
|
|
<li>The parties are unknown to each other, have not exchanged presence, or have not discovered their respective capabilities via &xep0030; or &xep0115;.</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 &xep0020;.</p>
|
|

|
|
<p>In order to initiate a negotiated chat session, the initiating party ("user") sends a &MESSAGE; <note>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).</note> 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 type SHOULD be "normal" (either explicitly or by non-inclusion of the 'type' attribute). The stanza 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; The inclusion of "otr" and "security" fields is also RECOMMENDED. Note: The options within any 'list-single' fields SHOULD appear in order of preference.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: Chat sessions may be conducted between entities who are never online at the same time. However, if the user is interested only in an <em>immediate</em> chat session then the user SHOULD instruct the contact's server not to store the message for later delivery using the &xep0079; protocol.</p>
|
|
<p>In the following example of a negotiation request, Romeo requests a chat with Juliet and also queries her regarding whether she wants to enable all message logging (see &xep0136;) <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 the &xep0071; and &xep0085; extensions during this chat session. He also requires that they are both connected securely to their servers, and asks which language she prefers amoungst those he can write. (Note: These fields are examples only; a full set of chat session negotiation parameters will be registered as described in the <link url='#registrar'>XMPP Registrar Considerations</link> section of this document.)</p>

<p>The user MAY request a session with a specific resource of the contact. However, if the user specifies no resource (or if the specified resource is not available), then the contact's server delivers the request to the contact's most available resource (which in the examples below happens to be "balcony"). If no resource is available (and no <cite>Advanced Message Processing</cite> rule included in the request specifies otherwise) then the server MAY store the request for later delivery. In this case, if the contact is interested only in an <em>immediate</em> chat session when it eventually receives the request, it SHOULD initiate a new chat session negotiation (including a newly-generated ThreadID) instead of responding to the user's request. Note: Sending any response to the user's original request would leak presence information since it would divulge the fact that the contact had been offline rather than just ignoring the user.</p>
|
|
<p>In any response to the user's request, the contact's client MUST mirror the &THREAD; value so that the user's client can correctly track the response.</p>
|
|
<p>If the contact's client does not support one of the default values or if the contact has disabled its support (as for Chat State Notifications and XHTML formatting in the example below), and the client can still accept the request, then it MUST set that field to a value that it can support.</p>
|
|
<p>If the contact's client is configured to show the form to the client instead of responding automatically it SHOULD replace the content of the <title/> element and of all label attributes of the <field/> and <option/> elements with it's own localised versions before showing the form to the client - even if the form already appears to be in the correct language. Note: If a client fails to localise the form then an malicious contact might, for examples, either switch the labels on the 'security' and 'otr' fields, or use the <title/> to mislead the user regarding the identity of the contact.</p>
|
|
<p>In the example below we assume that Juliet accepts the chat and specifies that she prefers to speak Italian with Romeo:</p>

<p>Note: Both entities MUST assume the session has been established with the resource of the contact that sends the reply, even if the user sent its request to a different resource of the contact.</p>
|
|
<p>If the contact does not want to reveal presence to the user for whatever reason then the contact's client SHOULD return no response or error (see <link url='#security'>Security Considerations</link>). Also, if the contact is using a legacy client then it MAY not support returning any response or error. In both these cases the user MAY, proceed to send stanzas to the contact outside the context of a negotiated chat session.</p>
|
|
<p>However, if the contact simply prefers not to chat then the client SHOULD decline the invitation:</p>

<p>If the other party's client does not support one or more of the <em>required</em> features, it SHOULD return a &feature; error instead, while if it supports <em>none</em> of the options for one or more fields, it SHOULD return a ¬acceptable; error instead (see <link url='#initiate'>Initiating a Chat</link>). In either of these cases the existing negotiated chat session parameters are maintained. Either party MAY then terminate the chat session as specified in the section <link url='#terminate'>Terminating a Chat</link>.</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 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>

<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'>
|
|
<section2 topic='Auto Accept or Reject' anchor='impl-auto'>
|
|
<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 (see <link url='#security'>Security Considerations</link>).</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Unavailable Presence' anchor='impl-unavail'>
|
|
<p>If a party receives an XMPP presence stanza 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 SHOULD assume that the other client will still be able 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).</p>
|
|
<p>However, the receiving party MAY assume that the other client will <em>not</em> be able to continue the session. <note>In general, if a party is not subscribing to the other party's presence then it will never assume the other party is is unable to continue a session.</note> In that case it MUST explicitly terminate the session (see <link url='#terminate'>Terminating a Chat</link>) - since its assumption could be incorrect. If after terminating the session 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, then it MUST initiate a new chat session (including a newly-generated ThreadID) with the other party. It MUST NOT renegotiate parameters for the terminated session. (Note: This is consistent with the handling of chat states as specified in <cite>XEP-0085</cite>.)</p>

<section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
|
|
<p>If a contact accepts a user's chat session negotiation request or returns an error to the user, the user will effectively discover the presence of the contact's resource. 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). Note: There should be no need for the contact's client to consult the contact's block list, since if the user is on the list then the contact would not receive any request messages from the user anyway.</p>
