<title>Publishing Stream Initiation Requests</title>
<abstract>This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension that enables an XMPP entity to advertise the fact that it is willing accept a particular Stream Initiation request. The protocol is used mainly to inform other entities that a particular file is available for transfer via the File Transfer protocol defined in XEP-0096.</abstract>

<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>&xep0095; defines a protocol to initiate a data stream between two Jabber/XMPP entities (e.g., for the purpose of &xep0096;). However, the sender is still responsible for informing potential receivers about the existence of a given stream. This document provides an automated way for a sender to announce the availability of a stream without initiating the data transfer. The purpose is to provide a "pull" protocol that enables a receiver to then request initiation of the stream from the sender.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Requirements' anchor='requirements'>
<p>This proposal addresses the following requirements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Allow a potential receiver (rather than the sender) to initiate a data stream.</li>
<li>Integrate Stream Initiation (SI) with &xep0060;.</li>
<li>Integrate Stream Initiation with &xep0004;.</li>
</ul>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Use Cases' anchor='usecase'>
<section2 topic='Publishing an SI Request' anchor='usecase.publish'>
<p>A stream owner uses the &lt;sipub/&gt; element to announce that it can perform a specific SI request. This element can be sent to a publish-subscribe (XEP-0060) node, or sent directly to potential recipients within a &MESSAGE; stanza.</p>
<p>The format of the &lt;sipub/&gt; element is as follows:</p>
<example caption='Sample &lt;sipub/&gt;'><![CDATA[
<sipub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/sipub'
from='sender-jid'
id='publish-0123'
profile='si-profile'
mime-type='mime/type'>
<profile xmlns='si-profile' ...>...</profile>
</sipub>
]]></example>
<p>This format is nearly identical to that for the stream initiation &lt;si/&gt; element (see <cite>XEP-0095</cite>). The major difference is the lack of the feature negotiation for the stream methods, and the addition of a 'from' attribute.</p>
<p>The 'from' attribute SHOULD be present, and MUST be present if the stanza containing the &lt;sipub/&gt; is not from the stream owner (e.g., if the stream is advertised at a publish-subscribe node). If present, this attribute MUST be the valid JID for the stream owner.</p>
<p>The 'id' attribute is an opaque identifier. This attribute MUST be present, and MUST be a valid non-empty string. It uniquely identifies the published request at the potential sender.</p>
<p>As with stream initiation, the 'profile' attribute MUST be present, and MUST be the namespace URI governing the profile information. It identifies the format for the SI profile.</p>
<p>As with stream initiation, the 'mime-type' attribute SHOULD be present, and MUST be an IANA-registered content type. <note>The IANA registry of content types is located at &lt;<link url='http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/'>http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/</link>&gt;.</note> It provides the receiver with additional information about what the data stream will be.</p>
<p>The &lt;sipub/&gt; element MUST contain an element qualified by the namespace specified by the 'profile' attribute (e.g., &lt;file xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/si/profile/file-transfer'/&gt; for file transfer). This is the additional information about the data stream.</p>
<p>The &lt;sipub/&gt; information is typically provided via pubsub:</p>

<p>The &lt;sipub/&gt; element MAY also be included directly within a &MESSAGE; stanza sent to another entity (or multiple entities, e.g., in &xep0045; or via &xep0033;). This can be especially useful for informing an offline entity about an available stream.</p>

<section2 topic='Integration with Data Forms' anchor='usecase.xdata'>
<p>One of the goals of sipub is to integrate <cite>Stream Initiation</cite> with <cite>Data Forms</cite> to provide a "file upload" capability. This is accomplished via the datatypes specified in &xep0122;. Each datatype is specific to the profile desired.</p>
<p>For example the datatype "sipub:file-transfer" is used to identify the file upload field(s) corresponding to <cite>XEP-0096</cite>:</p>
<example caption='"Upload File" Data Forms Field'><![CDATA[
<field var='file' type='text-single' label='File to Upload'>
<validate xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/xdata-validate'
datatype='sipub:file-transfer'/>
</field>
]]></example>
<p>When submitting such a form, a field's value(s) MUST be the &lt;sipub/&gt; identifier(s). Also, the submitter MUST provide an &lt;sipub/&gt; element within the data form for each file to be uploaded:</p>
<example caption='Submitting an "Upload File" form'><![CDATA[
<x xmlns='jabber:x:data' type='submit'>
<field var='file'>
<value>publish-0123</value>
</field>
<sipub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/sipub'
id='publish-0123'
mime-type='text/html'
profile='http://jabber.org/protocol/si/profile/file-transfer'>
<file xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/si/profile/file-transfer'
name='missive.html'
size='1024'
date='2005-07-21T11:21Z'/>
</sipub>
</x>
]]></example>
<p>The form processor will use this to retrieve the file(s) to be uploaded.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Triggering the Stream Initiation Request' anchor='usecase.trigger'>
<p>A potential receiver starts the stream initiation session by sending an IQ-get to the sender, using the &lt;start xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/sipub'/&gt; element. This element contains the 'id' attribute to specify which published stream to retrieve:</p>
<example caption='Receiver requests start of stream'><![CDATA[
<iq type='get'
id='sipub-request-0'
from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'
to='romeo@montague.net/pda'>
<start xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/sipub'
id='publish-0123'/>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>If the sender accepts the request, it responds with an IQ-result containing a &lt;starting/&gt; element. This element indicates the stream initiation identifier to be used:</p>
<example caption='Sender accepts request to start stream'><![CDATA[
<iq type='result'
id='sipub-request-0'
from='romeo@montague.net/pda'
to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'>
<starting xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/sipub'
sid='session-87651234'/>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>Then the sender begins the stream initiation negotiation:</p>
<example caption='Sender starts negotiation'><![CDATA[
<iq type='set'
id='sipub-set-1'
from='romeo@montague.net/pda'
to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'>
<si xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/si'

size='1024'
date='2005-07-21T11:21Z'>
<desc>A love letter</desc>
</file>
</si>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>If the requested identifier is not valid, the sender SHOULD respond with a &notacceptable; error:</p>
<example caption='Sender denies because of invalid id'><![CDATA[
<iq type='error'
id='sipub-set-1'
from='romeo@montague.net/pda'
to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'>

<error code='405' type='modify'>
<not-acceptable xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
</error>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>If the receiver does not have permission to request the data stream, the sender SHOULD respond with a &forbidden; error:</p>
<example caption='Sender denies because receiver is forbidden'><![CDATA[
<iq type='error'
id='sipub-set-1'
from='romeo@montague.net/pda'
to='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'>
<start xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/sipub'>publish-0123</start>
<error code='403' type='auth'>

</error>
</iq>
]]></example>
</section2>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Implementation Notes' achor='impl-notes'>
<section2 topic='Publish ID versus SI ID'>
<p>When publishing a stream via the &lt;sipub/&gt; element, the identifier SHOULD NOT be used as-is for the &lt;si/&gt; element, since a single publication will likely result in multiple &lt;si/&gt; requests, possibly from the same receiver.</p>
