+ Subscriptions to Request-Contained Resource Lists
+ in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
+
+Status of This Memo
+
+ This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
+ Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
+ improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
+ Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
+ and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
+
+Abstract
+
+ This document specifies a way to create subscription to a list of
+ resources in SIP. This is achieved by including the list of
+ resources in the body of a SUBSCRIBE request. Instead of having a
+ subscriber send a SUBSCRIBE request for each resource individually,
+ the subscriber defines the resource list, subscribes to it, and gets
+ notifications about changes in the resources' states using a single
+ SUBSCRIBE dialog.

+RFC 5367 SUBSCRIBE-Contained Lists October 2008
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ [RFC4662] specifies how to establish subscriptions to a homogeneous
+ resource list in SIP (which is specified in [RFC3261]) and defines
+ the procedures for getting notifications about changes in the state
+ of the associated resources. Yet, list creation is outside the scope
+ of [RFC4662].
+
+ This document specifies a way to create a list with a set of
+ resources and subscribe to it using a single SIP request. This is
+ achieved by including the list of resources (as defined in [RFC5363])
+ in the body of the SUBSCRIBE request.
+
+2. Terminology
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
+ document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
+
+3. User Agent Client Procedures
+
+ A UAC (User Agent Client) that wants to create a resource list and
+ subscribe to it using the mechanism described in this document
+ constructs a SUBSCRIBE request with at least one body, whose
+ disposition is type "recipient-list" as defined in [RFC5363], that
+ contains the URI list. Additionally, the UAC MUST include the
+ 'recipient-list-subscribe' option-tag (which is registered with the
+ IANA in Section 9) in a Require header field. The UAC MUST build the
+ rest of the SUBSCRIBE request following the rules in [RFC3265].
+
+ The UAC MUST support the "rlmi+xml" format defined in [RFC4662] and
+ signal this by including "rlmi+xml" in the Accept header. The UAC
+ MAY support additional formats and include them in the Accept header
+ field of the SUBSCRIBE request.
+
+3.1. Response Handling
+
+ The status code in the response to the SUBSCRIBE request does not
+ provide any information about whether or not the resource list server
+ was able to successfully subscribe to the URIs in the URI list. The
+ UAC obtains this information in the notifications sent by the server.
+
+
+

+
+RFC 5367 SUBSCRIBE-Contained Lists October 2008
+
+
+3.2. Subsequent SUBSCRIBE Requests
+
+ The previous sections have specified how to include a URI list in an
+ initial SUBSCRIBE request to a resource list server in order to
+ subscribe to the state of a set of resources. Once the subscription
+ has been created and a dialog between the UAC and the resource list
+ server has been established, the UAC can send subsequent SUBSCRIBE
+ requests to, for example, extend the duration of the subscription.
+
+ At this point, there are no semantics associated with resource-list
+ bodies in subsequent SUBSCRIBE requests (although future extensions
+ can define them). Therefore, UACs SHOULD NOT include resource-list
+ bodies in subsequent SUBSCRIBE requests to a resource list server.
+
+ Note that a difference between an initial SUBSCRIBE request and
+ subsequent ones is that while the initial request is sent to the
+ public URI of the resource list, subsequent ones are sent to the
+ URI provided by the server when the dialog is established.
+ Therefore, from the UAC's point of view, the resource identified
+ by the former URI supports recipient-list bodies, while the
+ resource identified by the latter does not support them.
+
+4. URI-List Document Format
+
+ [RFC5363] mandates that each URI-list services specification, such as
+ the subscription service defined here, specifies the default format
+ for the recipient-list bodies used within the particular service.
+
+ The default format for the recipient-list bodies for the subscription
+ service defined in this document is the resource list format defined
+ in [RFC4826]. UAs (User Agents) generating recipient-list bodies
+ MUST support this format and MAY support other formats. Resource
+ list servers able to handle recipient-list bodies MUST support this
+ format and MAY support other formats.
+
+ The Extensible Markup Language (XML) Configuration Access Protocol
+ (XCAP) resource list document provides features, such as hierarchical
+ lists and the ability to include entries by reference relative to the
+ XCAP root URI, that are not needed by the subscription service
+ defined here, which only needs to transfer a flat list of URIs
+ between a UA and the resource list server. Therefore, when using the
+ default resource list document, UAs SHOULD use flat lists (i.e., no
+ hierarchical lists) and SHOULD NOT use <entry-ref> elements. A
+ resource list server receiving a URI list with more information than
+ what has just been described MAY discard all the extra information.
+

+ Figure 1 shows an example of a flat list that follows the resource
+ list document.
+
+ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+ <resource-lists xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:resource-lists"
+ xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
+ <list>
+ <entry uri="sip:bill@example.com" />
+ <entry uri="sip:joe@example.org" />
+ <entry uri="sip:ted@example.net" />
+ </list>
+ </resource-lists>
+
+ Figure 1: URI list
+
+5. Resource List Server Behavior
+
+ Resource list servers that are able to receive and process SUBSCRIBE
+ requests with a recipient-list body SHOULD include a 'recipient-list-
+ subscribe' option-tag in a Supported header field when responding to
+ OPTIONS requests.
+
+ On reception of a SUBSCRIBE request with a URI list, a resource list
+ server that chooses to accept the "rlmi+xml" format MUST comply with
+ [RFC4662] for creating the subscription and reporting the changes in
+ the resources within the created dialog.
+
+5.1. Subsequent SUBSCRIBE Requests
+
+ At this point, there are no semantics associated with resource-list
+ bodies in subsequent SUBSCRIBE requests (although future extensions
+ may define them). Therefore, a resource list server receiving a
+ subsequent SUBSCRIBE request with a resource-list body, following
+ standard SIP procedures, rejects it with a 415 (Unsupported Media
+ Type) response.
+
+6. Providing a URI to Manipulate a Resource List
+
+ A UAC can manipulate a resource list at a resource list server. The
+ resource list server MAY provide a URI to manipulate the resource
+ list associated with a subscription using the Call-Info header field
+ in the NOTIFY request that establishes the subscription. The
+ "purpose" parameter of the Call-Info header field MUST have a value
+ of 'list-management', which we register with the IANA in Section 9.
+ The following is an example of such a header field.
+
+ Call-Info: <http://xcap.example.com/your-list.xml>
+ ;purpose=list-management
+
+
+
+Camarillo Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 5367 SUBSCRIBE-Contained Lists October 2008
+
+
+ The lifetime of a resource list to be manipulated by the URI provided
+ by the server is bundled to the lifetime of the subscription. That
+ is, the resource list SHOULD be destroyed when the subscription
+ expires or is otherwise terminated.
+
+ Section 7.1 of [RFC3265] does not list the Call-Info header field in
+ the table of header fields that NOTIFY requests can carry. This
+ document updates that table so that the Call-Info header field can be
+ optionally included in NOTIFY requests.
+
+7. Example
+
+ The following is an example of a SUBSCRIBE request, which carries a
+ URI list in its body, sent by a UAC to a resource list server.
+
+ SUBSCRIBE sip:rls@example.com SIP/2.0
+ Via: SIP/2.0/TCP terminal.example.com;branch=z9hG4bKwYb6QREiCL
+ Max-Forwards: 70
+ To: RLS <sip:rls@example.com>
+ From: <sip:adam@example.com>;tag=ie4hbb8t
+ Call-ID: cdB34qLToC@terminal.example.com
+ CSeq: 1 SUBSCRIBE
+ Contact: <sip:terminal.example.com>
+ Event: presence
+ Expires: 7200
+ Require: recipient-list-subscribe
+ Supported: eventlist
+ Accept: application/cpim-pidf+xml
+ Accept: application/rlmi+xml
+ Accept: multipart/related
+ Accept: multipart/signed
+ Accept: multipart/encrypted
+ Content-Type: application/resource-lists+xml
+ Content-Disposition: recipient-list
+ Content-Length: 337
+
+ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+ <resource-lists xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:resource-lists"
+ xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
+ <list>
+ <entry uri="sip:bill@example.com" />
+ <entry uri="sip:joe@example.org" />
+ <entry uri="sip:ted@example.net" />
+ </list>
+ </resource-lists>

+
+
+8. Security Considerations
+
+ The Security Considerations section of [RFC4662] discusses security
+ issues related to resource list servers. Resource list servers
+ accepting request-contained URI lists MUST also follow the security
+ guidelines given in [RFC4662].
+
+ "Framework and Security Considerations for Session Initiation
+ Protocol (SIP) URI-List Services" [RFC5363] discusses issues related
+ to SIP URI-list services. Given that a resource list server sending
+ SUBSCRIBE requests to a set of users acts as a URI-list service,
+ implementations of resource list servers that handle request-
+ contained URI lists MUST follow the security-related rules in
+ [RFC5363]. These rules include opt-in lists and mandatory
+ authentication and authorization of clients.
+
+9. IANA Considerations
+
+ The following sections describe the IANA registration of the 'list-
+ management' value for the "purpose" parameter of the Call-Info header
+ field and the 'recipient-list-subscribe' SIP option-tag.
+
+9.1. List-Management Purpose Parameter Value
+
+ This document defines the 'list-management' value for the "purpose"
+ parameter of the Call-Info header field. A reference to this RFC (in
+ double brackets) has been added to the existing "purpose" Call-Info
+ parameter entry in the SIP Parameters registry, which currently looks
+ as follows:
+
+ Predefined
+ Header Field Parameter Name Values Reference
+ ---------------------------- --------------- --------- ---------
+ Call-Info purpose Yes [RFC3261]

+
+
+9.2. recipient-list-subscribe Option-Tag
+
+ This document defines the SIP option tag "recipient-list-subscribe".
+
+ The following row has been added to the "Option Tags" section of the
+ SIP Parameter Registry:
+
+ +--------------------------+----------------------------+-----------+
+ | Name | Description | Reference |
+ +--------------------------+----------------------------+-----------+
+ | recipient-list-subscribe | This option tag is used to | [RFC5367] |
+ | | ensure that a server can | |
+ | | process the recipient-list | |
+ | | body used in a SUBSCRIBE | |
+ | | request. | |
+ +-------------------------------------------------------+-----------+
