XIMSS Protocol

XML API clients should open clear-text or secure TCP connections to the CommuniGate Pro Server XML module. When a connection is established, both sides can send and receive messages.

Each message is a text string ending with a binary zero byte.

Each message should be formatted as an XML document.

A client asks the Server to take actions and/or to retrieve data by sending a request message. Each request message must contain the id attribute.

When the Server completes the requested operation, it sends back a response message:

response

Attributes:

id

the same as the id attribute of the request message.

errorText

this optional attribute is present only if the operation has failed. It contains the error message text.

errorNum

this optional attribute is present only if the operation has failed. It contains the numeric error code.

exeTime

this optional attribute is present if the operation request contained exeTime attribute with non-zero value. It contains the command execution time in milliseconds measured by the Server.

Example:

C:<noop id="A001"/>
S:<response id="A001"/>
C:<myCommand id="A002" myParam="user1@example.dom" exeTime="1"/>
S:<response id="A002" errorText="unknown command" errorNum="500" exeTime="211"/>

A client can send the next request message without waiting for the current request response (pipelining).

• when it processes a client request message;
  these messages are sent before the response message is sent;
  these messages include the same id attribute as the request message.
• when an asynchronous Server event (such as arrival of an Alert or an Instant Message) is delivered to the client session.
  these messages do not include any id attribute.

Example:

C:<noop id="A001"/>
S:<alert gmtTime="20070502T083313" localTime="20070502T003313">Account is over quota</alert>
S:<response id="A001"/>
S:<alert gmtTime="20070502T083500" localTime="20070502T003500">Please logout, as we are shutting down.</alert>

Note: a Client must send some command to the Server at least once in 10 minutes, otherwise the Server closes the connection.

When a connection is established, the Server takes the IP Address the client has connected to and selects the Domain this IP address is assigned to.

Operations in this section can explicitly specify an alternative target Domain: if it is found, the new target Domain is set and it is used in the next operations.

listFeatures

This operation tells the Server to return a features message containing available communication and authentication options.

Attributes:

domain

optional target Domain name.

readStrings

This operation reads the vocabulary (words, tags, button names, etc.) stored in the current Domain Skin. The Server sends a strings data message with the dictionary data.

Attributes:

skinName

the Skin name. If not specified, the unnamed Skin is used.

language

the vocabulary language. If the attribute is missing, the Account Defaults Language preference string is used.

timeModified

if this attribute is specified, it should contain a date and time value (GMT time). If this attribute is specified, the strings data message does not have any body element if the requested vocabulary modification time is not newer than this attribute value.

starttls

This operation tells the server to establish SSL/TLS security on this connection.

Attributes:

domain

optional target Domain name.

If the server returns a positive response, the client should start SSL/TLS negotiations immediately.

recoverPassword

This operation asks the server to E-mail the password of the specified Account to the E-mail address the Account user has specified.

Attributes:

domain

optional target Domain name.

userName

the Account name.

If the server returns a positive response, the Account password has been E-mailed.
Note: this operation introduces a delay before returning a response.

signup

This operation tells the Server to create a new Account.

Attributes:

domain

optional target Domain name.

userName

the new Account name.

password

the new Account password.

realName

a Real Name of the new Account owner (optional).

recoverPassword

an E-mail address that can be used to recover a forgotten password (optional).

If the server returns a positive response, the Account has been created.
Note: this operation does not log user into a newly created Account.
Note: this operation introduces a delay before returning a response.

The Server sends the following data messages:

features

This synchronous data message is sent when the Server processes the listFeatures operation.

Body:

a set of XML elements:

domain

the target Domain name.

sasl

the text body of this element is the name of the SASL mechanism enabled for the target Domain.

starttls

if this element is present, the client can perform the starttls operation.

nonce

a valid "nonce" data. This "nonce" data can be used with SASL HTTP Login methods.

language

the text body of this element contains the default language selected for the target Domain. If this element is absent, the default (English) language is selected.

signup

if this element is present, the client can perform the signup operation with the target Domain.

connect

if this element is present, it specifies the connection method the client should use for the login and session requests. It is based on the Recommended XIMSS Method Domain Setting for the target Domain.
The element has the following attributes:

protocol

the protocol to use: http or ximss. The recommended protocol should be a secure one (such as https) if the listFeatures operation was issued over a secure protocol.

port

the TCP port number to use. If not specified, the client should use the same port as it used to send this listFeatures operation.

login

Attributes:

domain

optional target Domain name.

method

this attribute specifies the SASL method to use. If this attribute is missing the clear-text (password) method is used.

authData

If the clear-text method is used, this attribute contains the username.
For all other methods, this is a string with base64-encoded SASL protocol data.

password

This attribute is used for the clear-text authentication method only, it contains the user password in the clear-text form.

version

This attribute specifies the protocol version this Client is designed for (for example, 6.0). If the version is not specified, the 5.4 version is assumed.

Example:

C:<login id="A001" authData="user1@example.dom" password="123rtu" version="6.1" />
S:<session id="A001" urlID="12-skejlkieuoiuoi-dnciru" userName="user1@example.dom" realName="User J. Smith"/>
S:<response id="A001"/>

The Server sends the following data messages:

session

This message contains information about the newly created session. It is sent before the positive response for the login operation is sent.

Attributes:

urlID

the session ID string. This ID string can be used to access session data via HTTP.

userName

the authenticated Account full name (accountName@domainName).

realName

the authenticated Account user Real Name (this attribute is absent if the Real Name is not specified in the Account Settings).

version

the protocol version supported with the Server (for example, 6.1).

Examples:

C:<login id="A001" authData="user1@example2.dom" password="rrr123" />
S:<session id="A001" urlID="12-skejlkieuoiuoi-dnciru" userName="user1@example.dom" realName="User J. Smith" version="6.1.2" />
S:<response id="A001"/>

When the specified SASL method involves sending a challenge to the client, it is sent as a challenge data message, with the value attribute containing the base64-encoded SASL protocol challenge data.
The client should respond by sending an auth request with the same id attribute as one used in the login request, and the value attribute containing the base64-encoded SASL protocol response data.

Example (see RFC2195):

C:<login id="A001" method="CRAM-MD5" />
S:<challenge value="PDE4OTYuNjk3MTcwOTUyQHBvc3RvZmZpY2UucmVzdG9uLm1jaS5uZXQ+" />
C:<auth id="A001" value="dGltIGI5MTNhNjAyYzdlZGE3YTQ5NWI0ZTZlNzMzNGQzODkw" />
S:<session id="A001" urlID="12-skejlkieuoiuoi-dnciru" userName="user1@example.dom" realName="User J. Smith"/>
S:<response id="A001"/>

If Two-Factor Authentication is enabled and required to complete the login operation the session response contains the x2auth dictionary that describes the methods available for Two-Factor Authentication, with the key of each element being the method name and the value being the dictionary with method parameters:

Body:

a string; each symbol specifies a Mailbox Access Right granted to or revoked from the "name".

• A001: the Client asks the Server to create the MyNotes Notes-type Mailbox.
• A002: the Client asks the Server to rename the MyNotes Mailbox into SharedNotes.
• A003: the Client asks the Server to grant the Lookup and Select rights for the SharedNotes Mailbox to users user1 and user2.
• A004: the Client asks the Server to add the Delete and Insert rights for the SharedNotes Mailbox to user user1 and to revoke the Select right from the user user2.
• A005: the Client asks the Server to retrieve the ACL data for the SharedNotes Mailbox.

A client can use the following operations to process a Mailbox in the authenticated Account, as well as in other Accounts (by specifying the full Mailbox name as ~accountName@domainName/mailboxName).

folderOpen

This operation opens the specified Mailbox as a "Folder".
A Folder represents a Server Mailbox, with all messages being sorted and, optionally, filtered.
Each folder has a name, and one session cannot have two folders with the same name. On the other hand, the same session can open the same Mailbox as two different folders (with different names). For example, an application may use one folder to show the Mailbox content sorted by the Date field, while maintaining a separate window where it shows the same Mailbox, but only the messages containing the Business tag in the Keywords field, with all these messages sorted by the From field.
When Mailbox messages are added, removed, or updated, the Server reports these updates to all clients that have opened that Mailbox as a Folder.
Each folder sends its update notifications independently, so the client does not need to know that two folders are presenting different views on the same Server Mailbox.

Attributes:

folder

the name for the new Folder to be opened. A client can use an arbitrary string as a Folder name.

mailbox

the Mailbox name. If this attribute is not specified, the folder name is used.

mailboxClass

an optional attribute. If the specified Mailbox does not exist and this optional attribute is specified, the specified Mailbox is created.
If this attribute value is a non-empty string, that value is assigned as the Mailbox Class to the newly created Mailbox.

sortField

the name of a message header field to use for Mailbox sorting.

sortOrder

if this optional attribute is specified and it has the desc value, the sorting order is reversed.

filter

if this optional attribute is specified, only the Mailbox messages matching this attribute value are included into the Folder.

filterField

if this optional attribute is specified, its value specifies the message header field to compare with the filter attribute. Only the messages containing the specified field and with the field value matching the filter attribute value are included into the folder.
If this attribute value is FLAGS, the filter attribute value should contain a comma-separated list of message flags names and/or negative names. Only the messages with the specified flags set and the specified negative flags not set are included into the Server view.
For example, the filter="Media,Unseen" attribute will tell the Server to build a view using only the messages with the Media flags set and the Seen flag not set.
If this attribute value is body, messages containing the filter attribute value in any message body part are included into the server view.
If this attribute is missing, messages containing the filter attribute value in message body part, or in any message header field are included into the server view.

hideDeleted

If this optional attribute is present, the "hide deleted" folder mode is switched on if the attribute value is yes. If this optional attribute is absent, the "hide deleted" folder mode is switched on if the current effective value of the DeleteMode Account Preference is not Mark.
When the "hide deleted" mode is on, a mailbox message is removed from the folder list as soon as the "Deleted" flag is assigned to it. If the "Deleted" flag is removed later, the message does not re-appear in the folder, but it will become visible again after the folder is re-opened.

UIDValidity, UIDMin

If these optional numeric attributes are present, and the Folder Mailbox UIDValidity value is equal to the UIDValidity request attribute value, then only the messages with UID not smaller than the UIDMin value are included into the Folder.

Body:

the request body should contain one or more <field> elements.
Each element body should contain a name of a header field to be retrieved for each message.
These fields are called viewer fields.

The following sortField and viewer fields can be specified:

• From, To, Cc, Bcc, Reply-To, Sender, Return-Path, or other Email-field name. If a message header contains the specified Email-field, it is parsed. If the field contains a "comment" (i.e. a "real name"), it is used. Otherwise, the parsed E-mail address is used.
• Date, Resent-Date. The field date value is converted to GMT. When elements with these field values are sent within a folderReport message, they contain the localTime attribute specifying the field value in the Time Zone selected for the current user.
• any other E-mail header field name (Subject, X-Mailer, etc). The field MIME-decoded value is used.
• E-From, E-To, or other E-Email-field name. If a message header contains the specified Email-field, it is parsed, and the parsed E-mail address is used.
• Pty. The X-Priority field value is converted to the strings High, Low, or to an empty string.
• UID. The message metadata - its UID (unique ID) in the Mailbox.
• ORIGUID. The message metadata - its original UID in the Mailbox. Unless the message is an updated version of some older (and now deleted) message, the ORIGUID value is the same as the UID value.
• SIZE. The message metadata - its "raw" size in the Mailbox.
• INTERNALDATE. The message metadata - its "timestamp". It is formatted in the same way as the Date element.
• FLAGS the message metadata attribute values are used.
  See the Mailboxes section for more information on the Mailbox message flags.

A session can use several open Folders at the same time.

A client should maintain an internal view of the Folder - an array or a table with one element for each Folder message. A client should keep that view synchronized with the Server view (implemented with that Folder).

When a Folder is opened, the Server sends a folderReport data message containing the total number of messages in the Folder. The client uses this number to create the initial internal view table, filling it with empty elements.

To display the Mailbox content on the screen, the client checks which elements of its internal view table it should use. If some of those elements are empty, the client should ask the Server to send it the information about the Folder messages specified by their index values (positions) in the sorted view (in the Folder).

Some Mailbox operations use a message set to specify the Mailbox messages to apply the operation to. Messages can be specified either by their UIDs, or by their index numbers (their positions in the folder view).

To specify messages by their UIDs, use one or more UID elements.
Each UID element can include one message, in this case the message UID is specified as the element body: <UID>12377</UID>.
An UID element can include a range of message UIDs specified as the from and till attributes: <UID from="12377" till="12455" />. The operation is applied to all Mailbox messages with UIDs not smaller than the from attribute value and not larger than the till attribute value. Please remember that Folder messages are not sorted by their UIDs, unless the sortField="UID" attribute was used in the folderOpen operation.

To specify messages by index, use one or more index elements.
Each index element can include one message, in this case the message index is specified as the element body: <index>14</index>.
An index element can include an index range specified as the from and till attributes: <index from="12" till="10000" />. The operation is applied to all Folder messages with position (index) not smaller than the from attribute value and not larger than the till attribute value.

A message set can include one or more UID elements, or it can include one or more index elements, but it cannot include both UID and index elements.

folderBrowse

This operation makes the Server send data messages for the specified message set in an open Folder.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

Body:

a message set (see above).

The Server sends a folderReport data message for each message with the index or UID in the specified set. The data message attributes specify the message index (position) in the Folder and the message UID.
The folderReport data message body contains the viewer fields values.

The "on demand" client-server synchronization model is used. When a Folder message is modified, added, or deleted, the client gets an asynchronous folderReport data message with the mode attribute value set to notify (a "notify-mode" message).

The newly added messages do not become visible in the logical Folder and the deleted messages are not removed from the logical Folder. Requests to retrieve deleted message data return no data items or empty data items.

When the client application is ready to update its "internal view", it should use the folderSync operation:

folderSync

This operation tells the Server to send all pending Folder modifications to the client.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

limit

optional; the maximum number of data messages to return.

The Server sends folderReport data messages with the mode attribute set to the removed, added, updated, or attrsUpdated value.

After the Server sends a "notify-mode" message to the Client, the Server may choose not to send further "notify-mode" messages for this Folder until the client performs the folderSync operation on this Folder.

If the limit attribute is specified and the specified number of data message has been sent, the Server finishes the the folderSync operation, but expects the client to perform an additional folderSync operation on this Folder before it sends further "notify-mode" messages for this Folder.

The client can send requests to the Server asking for certain update operations (such as message deletion), but it should update its internal view only when the Server sends it a folderReport data message informing the client about actual changes in the Folder.

Note: unlike UIDs, Folder message index can change any time when the folderSync operation is performed. Before you start any operation using an index-based message set, make sure that you have correctly updated the internal view with all folderReport data messages generated with the previously sent folderSync operation.

Note: when a message has been removed from or added to a Mailbox, the Server only sends folderReport data messages with the mode="notify" attribute. The Server-side "view" of the modified Folder (the logical Folder) is not updated, and it is safe to use an index-based message set to start a Folder operation.

folderSearch

This operation searches messages in an open Folder.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

filter

the search string as for IMAP SEARCH command.

limit

optional; the maximum number of data messages to return.

timeout

optional; the operation time-out (in seconds). The maximum is 5.

Body:

a message set (see above).

The Server sends folderSearchResult data messages with the UIDs or indexes of the messages matching the search criteria. If the search did not complete due to timeout or result limit then the reply will contain next attribute with the message UID/index where to start the next search.

Example:

C:<folderSearch id="A001" folder="INBOX" limit="5" timeout="1" filter="SINCE 1-Feb-2008 NOT FROM Smith OR SUBJECT test SUBJECT xxx">
    <UID from="0" till="1000"/>
  </folderSearch>
S:<folderSearchResult id="A001" folder="INBOX" next="480"><UID>285</UID><UID>386</UID><UID>479</UID></folderSearchResult>
S:<response id="A001"/>

mailboxSync

This operation sends the report on modified items since the last synchronization.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

clientID

the string that identifies the client; for each such client the serer keeps the separate history of changes in the mailbox.

syncID

the string that identifies the last synchronization point; for the first synchronization run it should be set to "0".

limit

optional; the maximum number of data messages to return.

timeFrom

optional; the time stamp for the oldest item to retrieve.

totalSizeLimit

optional; the maximum number of bytes for new message data to retrieve.

The Server sends mailboxSyncReport data messages that indicate the changes since the last synchronization.

messageCopy

This operation copies messages from an open Folder to a target Mailbox.
Note: the target is specified as a Mailbox, not as a Folder.

Attributes:

folder

the source Folder name.

targetMailbox

the target Mailbox name.

mailboxClass

If the target Mailbox does not exist and this optional attribute is specified, the target Mailbox is created. If this attribute value is a non-empty string, the value is assigned as the Mailbox Class to the newly created Mailbox.

encrypt

if this optional attribute exists, and its value is yes, the messages are copied encrypted, using the current user S/MIME certificate.

decrypt

if this optional attribute exists, and its value is yes, and the encrypt attribute is not specified, the messages are copied decrypted. The Account Private Key should be unlocked, otherwise an error is returned.

report

If this optional attribute is specified, it should have the uid value.
For each message copied to the target mailbox, the Server sends the synchronous messageAdded message containing the UID of the copied message.

Body:

a message set (see above).

messageMove

This operation is the same as the messageCopy operation, but if the messages have been copied successfully, the operation deletes the original messages.

This operation can also be used to implement the "encrypt/decrypt message" functionality: the selected messages should be moved to the same Mailbox using the encrypt or decrypt operation attribute.

messageMark

This operation modifies Mailbox message flags in an open Folder.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

flags

this attribute specifies the Mailbox message flags to add or delete. Several operations can be specified, separated with the comma symbol. See the Mailbox section for more details.

mode

an optional attribute. If specified and equals to delete then the specified flags are deleted (flags with negative names are not set).

Body:

a message set (see above).

messageRemove

This operation removes messages from an open Folder.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

mode

an optional attribute, specifying the delete operation method. If specified, it should have one of the following values:

• Immediately - the messages are physically removed from the Folder Mailbox.
• Move To Trash - the messages are moved to the Trash Mailbox (its name is specified with the TrashBox Account preference). If the specified Folder is the Trash Mailbox itself, the messages are physically removed.
• Mark - the messages are marked with the Deleted flag.

If this attribute is not specified, the method specified with the DeleteMode Account Preference is used.

Body:

a message set (see above).

folderExpunge

This operation removes all messages marked with the Deleted flag from the Folder Mailbox.
Note: it removes ALL marked Mailbox messages, not only the messages visible in this Folder.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

folderClose

This operation closes an open Folder.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

folderReopen

This operation re-builds an open Folder by re-scanning its Mailbox using different sorting and filtering parameters.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

sortField, sortOrder, filter, filterField, hideDeleted, UIDValidity, UIDMin

these attributes have the same meaning as the same folderOpen operation attributes.

Body:

if the request body contains at least one <field> element, these elements specify the new viewer fields set. If no <field> element is specified, the viewer fields set is not modified.

When a client uses this command, the Server sends the folderReport message with the mode attribute set to init, notifying the client about the new Folder size.
The client should clear its internal Folder view, and re-populate it again.

Note:if a Client receives a folderReport message with the mode attribute set to notify when the Client has already sent the folderReopen command, the Client should use the folderSync command after it receives response for the folderReopen command.

emptyTrash

This operation physically removes all messages from the Trash Mailbox (if it has been specified).

emptyMailbox

This operation physically removes all messages from the specified mailbox.

Attributes:

mailbox

the mailbox name.

duration

time limit (in "time delta" format) between the current time and the internal date of the newest message to keep in the mailbox. Specify 0 to delete all messages.

The Server sends the following data messages:

folderReport

These messages are sent synchronously when a Folder is being opened or re-opened, and when the client sends a folderBrowse or a folderSync request.
These messages are sent asynchronously when a Folder status changes (messages are added, removed, or updated), in this case its mode attribute is set to notify.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

mode

this optional attribute specifies the type of notification.

• If the attribute value is init then the messages attribute specifies the total number of messages in the Folder, and the unseen attribute specifies the total number of unseen messages (messages without the Seen flag) in the Folder.
  This is a synchronous data message sent when a Folder is being opened or re-opened.
• If the attribute value is notify some Mailbox messages have been added, modified, or deleted.
  This message is sent as an asynchronous data message.
  The client is expected to send the folderSync request for this Folder.
• If the attribute value is removed then the index and UID attributes specify the message removed from the Folder.
  This data message is sent only in response to the folderSync request.
  The client should immediately update its internal view: for all messages with the index value larger than the specified index attribute value, the index value is decreased by 1.
• If the attribute value is added then the index and UID attributes specify the message added to the Folder.
  This data message is sent only in response to the folderSync request.
  The client should immediately update its internal view: for all messages with the index value equal or larger than the specified index attribute value, the index value is increased by 1.
• If the attribute value is updated, or attrsUpdated, or the attribute is missing, then the index and UID attributes specify a Mailbox message and the body contains the message viewer field values.

This attribute is present and it is set to error when the folderBrowse request fails to retrieve the message data (for example, when a message has been already deleted, but it has not been removed from the view, because the folderSync request has not been issued yet.

index

the message index in this Folder.
This attribute is not present when the mode attribute value is init.

UID

the message UID (unique ID).
This attribute is not present when the mode attribute value is removed, updated, attrsUpdated, or added.

messages

the total number of messages in the Folder.
This attribute is present when the mode attribute value is init, removed, or added.

unseen

the total number of unseen messages in the Folder.
This attribute is present when the mode attribute value is init, removed, updated, attrsUpdated, or added.

rights

the effective access rights for the Folder.
This attribute is present when the mode attribute value is init. If this attribute is absent, access to the Folder is not restricted.

UIDValidity, UIDNext

the Folder Mailbox UIDValidity and UIDNext values.
These attributes are present when the mode attribute value is init.

Body:

The body is present when the mode attribute value is absent (folderBrowse response message), or when the mode attribute value is updated, attrsUpdated, or added (folderSync response message).
The body contains a set of XML elements with viewer field values.

• A001: the Client asks the Server to open the INBOX Mailbox as Folder "INBOX" and to sort it by the INTERNALDATE 'field' (this is not an actual message field, but a message metadata element - it specifies the time when the message was added into the Mailbox). The Client informs the Server that it needs to retrieve the FLAGS, From, and Subject fields of Mailbox messages.
• the Server opens the INBOX Mailbox and sorts it; the Server informs the Client that the Folder has 234 messages.
• A002: the Client asks the Server to send it data from the first 4 Folder messages, and the Server sends that information to the Client.
• while the Server was processing this request, one message was added to the Mailbox.
• after the Server has sent the response message, the Folder messages number 2 and 35 were deleted.
• A003: the Client asks the Server to send it data from the first 4 messages in the sorted view (again).
• A004: the Client asks the Server to send it all Folder modifications.
• The Server informs the Client about the message number 35 being removed. The Client should remove the element number 35 from its internal view table and update the information on its screen if necessary. The total number of Folder messages has changed to 233.
• The Server informs the Client about the message number 2 being removed. The Client should remove the element number 2 from its internal view table. The message number 3 becomes the message number 2, the message number 4 becomes the message number 3, etc.
• The Server adds a newly added message to the Folder and informs the Client that it has inserted the message as the message number 1. The Client should update its internal view table by inserting a new element as the element number 1. The element number 1 becomes the element number 2, the element number 2 becomes the element number 3, etc.
• A005: the Client asks the Server to send it data from the first 4 messages in the Folder (again).

Example 2:

• A010: the Client asks the Server to copy 3 messages from the already opened INBOX Mailbox to the Archive Mailbox
• The Archive Mailbox appears to be opened, and the Server sends a Mailbox notification message to the Client

Example 3:

• A020: the Client asks the Server to mark 3 messages (UIDs 512, 123, and 976) with the Deleted flag.
• The Server sets these flags, and it sends a Mailbox notification message to the Client.
• A021: the Client asks the Server to send it all Mailbox modifications.
• The Server sends the updated information for the messages with UID 512 and 976. The message with the UID 123 already had the Deleted flag set, so this request has not modified that message and the Server does not send information for this message.
• A022: the Client asks the Server to expunge the Mailbox.
• The Server deletes the messages with UIDs 512, 123, and 976, as well as message with UIDs 446 and 756 which also happened to have the Deleted flag set. The Server sends a Mailbox notification message to the Client.
• A023: the Client asks the Server to send it all Mailbox modifications.
• The Server sends data messages informing the client that it has removed the messages with UIDs 512, 123, 976, 446, and 756 from its sorted Mailbox view.
• A024: the Client closes the INBOX Mailbox.

A client can use the following set of operations to retrieve Messages from Mailboxes.

folderRead

This operation tells the Server to retrieve a Message or its part. It is sent to the client as a folderMessage data message.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

UID

the message UID.

partID

this optional attribute specifies the message part to read. If it is not specified, the entire message is read.

mode

if this optional attribute is set to replyFrom or replyAll, the partID attribute should either be absent or it should specify an EMail subpart element. The folderMessage response message body is an EMail element with a pre-composed reply E-mail.
if this optional attribute is set to forward, the partID attribute should either be absent or it should specify an EMail subpart element. The folderMessage response message body is an EMail element with a pre-composed inline forward E-mail.
The replyFromHTML, replyAllHTML and forwardHTML variants can be used to choose the HTML part of the original message.
In all the listed modes the attachments from the original message are not included into the resulting MIME container. The forwardAtt and forwardAttHTML variants can be used to produce a multipart/mixed MIME structure with the requested text part and original attachments.

totalSizeLimit

the maximum total size of all message parts returned.

x509

if this optional attribute is set to base64, the x509 subelements in the retrieved messages (digital signatures) will contain the base64-encoded certificate data.

messageAppend

This operation tells the Server to compose a Message and append it to an open folder or to an arbitrary Mailbox.

Attributes:

folder

the target Folder name. If specified, the targetMailbox attribute is ignored.

targetMailbox

the target Mailbox name. It must be specified if the folder attribute is absent.

mailboxClass

this optional attribute can be specified if the targetMailbox attribute is specified.
If the target Mailbox does not exist and this optional attribute is specified, the target Mailbox is created. If this attribute value is a non-empty string, the value is assigned as the Mailbox Class to the newly created Mailbox.

flags

this optional attribute specifies the message flags the newly created message will have in the Mailbox. Several flags can be specified, separated with the comma symbol. See the Mailbox section for more details.

internalDate

this optional attribute specifies the "internal timestamp" for the newly created message. If this parameter is not specified, the current time is used.

replacesUID

this optional attribute can be specified if the folder attribute is specified.
If the message has been successfully composed and appended to the Folder, the message with the replacesUID UID is removed from the Folder Mailbox.

replaceMode

this optional attribute can be specified if the replacesUID attribute is specified.
if the attribute value is checkOld, the the operation fails if the Folder Mailbox does not contain a message with replacesUID real UID. This check and the append/delete operations are executed atomically.
if the attribute value is copyOrigUID, the operation fails if the Folder Mailbox does not contain a message with replacesUID real UID. If the message does exist, then its ORIGUID attribute is copied to the newly created message. This check, the append/delete operations, and the attribute assignment are executed atomically.
if the attribute value is origUID, replaceUID attribute specified the ORIGUID attribute of the message to be replaced. The operation fails if the Folder Mailbox does not contain a message with replacesUID ORIGUID. If the message does exist, then its ORIGUID attribute is copied to the newly created message. This check, the append/delete operations, and the attribute assignment are executed atomically.

report

If this optional attribute is specified, it should have the uid value.
If the message has been successfully composed and appended to the target Mailbox or Folder, the Server sends the synchronous messageAdded message containing the UID of the newly appended message.

Body:

The XML presentation of the Message (the EMail data).
If the EMail element contains the uploadID attribute, the RFC message body is built from the contents of the respective file in the session "uploaded file set".
The text parts of the message XML presentation should use the Line Feed (0x0A) symbol as the EOL (end of line) symbol.

Example:
The Client appends a simple text message to the Mailbox "Sent", with the Seen and Answered flags. If the Mailbox does not exist, it is created.

C:<messageAppend id="A001" targetMailbox="Sent" flags="Seen,Answered" mailboxClass="" >
    <EMail>
      <From realName="Sender Name">fromName@domain</From><Subject>I'll be there!</Subject>
      <To realName="Recipient Name">toName@domain</To><X-Mailer>SuperClient v7.77</X-Mailer>

Dear Susan,

I will come to your place tomorrow, thank you for the invitation!
Mary.

To create messages with file attachments, put the files into the "uploaded file set" first. Then you can specify them in the MIME elements by using the uploadID attribute.
You can specify the type, subtype, and (for text files) charset attributes. If you do not explicitly specify them, they are copied from the Content-Type field of the HTTP request used to upload the file.

Example:
The client first uploads 2 files - test.gif (using uploadID att01) and sample.pdf (using uploadID att02). Then the client appends a message to the "Drafts" Folder, with the "Draft" message flag, replacing the existing message with the 578 UID.
The message contains some text in the alternative (plain and html) formats, and the uploaded files as attachments.
The client requests the Server to send the UID of the newly created message (756).
While the client was adding the new message, a different process added some other message (with UID=755) to the "Drafts" Folder Mailbox.
The client then clears the "uploaded file set", and re-syncs its state with the "Drafts" Folder.

--_===38330025====my.server.domain===_--

To create messages with MIME parts (attachments) copied from other messages stored on the Server, use the copyMIME element instead of a MIME element:

copyMIME

Attributes:

folder or calendar

the name of an open Folder or an open Calendar.

UID

the message UID.

partID

this optional attribute specifies the message part to copy.
If it is not specified, the entire message is copied.
If it is specified, the non-MIME (other than Content-xxxxx) part header fields are not copied.

Example:
The Client stores a note in the "Notes" Mailbox, appending parts 3 and 4 (attachments) of the message 156 stored in the INBOX folder:

C:<messageAppend id="A001" targetMailbox="Notes" flags="Seen">
    <EMail>
      <From realName="Sender Name">fromName@domain</From>
      <Subject>Vacation Pictures</Subject>
      <Date localTime="20060621T215124" timeShift="-25200">20070830T045124Z</Date>
      <Message-ID>web-40721383@domain.dom</Message-ID>
      <MIME type="multipart" subtype="mixed">
        <MIME type="text" subtype="plain">The first part of the underwater shots.</MIME>
        <copyMIME folder="INBOX" UID="156" partID="3"/>
        <copyMIME folder="INBOX" UID="156" partID="4"/>
      </MIME>
    </EMail>
  </messageAppend>
S:<response id="A001"/>

You can attach files stored in the Personal File Storage. Specify the full file name in the MIME elements by using the fileName attribute.
You must explicitly specify type, subtype, and (for text files) charset attributes.
You should specify the disposition-filename attribute, as the fileName attribute is not used to form the attachment name.

Example:
The Client stores a note in the "Notes" Mailbox, appending the file private/MyFile.jpg as the photo.jpg attachment:

C:<messageAppend id="A001" targetMailbox="Notes" flags="Seen">
    <EMail>
      <From realName="Sender Name">fromName@domain</From>
      <Subject>Vacation Pictures</Subject>
      <Date localTime="20060621T215124" timeShift="-25200">20070830T045124Z</Date>
      <Message-ID>web-40721383@domain.dom</Message-ID>
      <MIME type="multipart" subtype="mixed">
        <MIME type="text" subtype="plain">Attached please find the images I have stored as files.</MIME>
        <MIME type="image" subtype="jpeg" fileName="private/MyFile.jpg" disposition-filename="photo.jpg" />
      </MIME>
    </EMail>
  </messageAppend>
S:<response id="A001"/>

Note: if a <MIME /> element has the disposition attribute value none, the Content-Disposition: header field is not created, and the Content-Type field is stored without the name parameter.

Note: the text MIME parts should use a single LineFeed (0x0A, decimal 10) symbol as the line separator.

You can ask the Server to use the "flowed" format for text MIME parts.

Example:

C:<messageAppend id="A001" targetMailbox="Notes" flags="Seen">
    <EMail>
      <Subject>Test text</Subject>
      <MIME type="text" subtype="plain" format="flowed">This is a very long long long long long long long long long long superlong long long long long long long line, followed with a shorter line:
This is a shorter line.</MIME>
    </EMail>
  </messageAppend>
S:<response id="A001"/>

This operation adds the following message to the Mailbox:

Subject: Test text
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Content-Type: text/plain; format="flowed"; charset="utf-8"

This is a very long long long long long long long long long long superlong
long long long long long long line, followed with a shorter line:
This is a shorter line.

(there is a trailing space after the "superlong" word)

To create a signed message, make sure that S/MIME Private key is unlocked, and specify the sign attribute in the topmost EMail element.

C:<messageAppend id="A001" targetMailbox="Sent" flags="Seen,Answered" >
    <EMail sign="yes">
      <From realName="Sender Name">fromName@domain</From><Subject>I'll be there!</Subject>
      <To realName="Recipient Name">toName@domain</To><X-Mailer>SuperClient v7.77</X-Mailer>
      <MIME type="text" subtype="plain">Dear Susan,&#x0A;&#x0A;I will come to your place tomorrow, thank you for the invitation!&#x0A;Mary.&#x0A;</MIME>
    </EMail>
  </messageAppend>
S:<response id="A001"/>

This operation adds the following message to the Mailbox:

From: "Sender Name" <fromName@domain>
Subject: I'll be there!
To: "Recipient Name" <toName@domain>
X-Mailer: SuperClient v7.77
Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/x-pkcs7-signature"; micalg="SHA1"; boundary="_===signed==2610002====my.server.domain===_"

This is a signed S/MIME message

--_===signed==2610002====my.server.domain===_

messageSubmit

This operation tells the Server to compose a Message and submit it to the Queue for delivery. A message copy can be stored in a Mailbox.

Attributes:

useDSN

if this optional attribute exists, and its value is yes, delivery reports are generated when a message is delivered, or if delivery fails.
If this attribute is absent, delivery reports are generated only when message delivery fails.

targetMailbox, mailboxClass, flags, internalDate

if the optional targetMailbox attribute is specified, then the composed message is appended to the specified Mailbox. These attributes have the same meaning as for the messageAppend operation.

dataset

if the optional attribute is specified, it specifies the name of an Account dataset. All message target addresses (see below) are stored in the specified dataset, removing existing duplicates.

Body:

The XML presentation of the Message (the EMail element), and zero, one, or several Envelope-To elements. Each Envelope-To element should have a text body - the E-mail address to send the message to.
If no Envelope-To element is specified, the message is sent to the addresses specified in all addresses specified in the To, Cc, and Bcc elements inside the EMail element.
If the EMail element contains the uploadID attribute, the RFC message body is built from the contents of the respective file in the session "uploaded file set".
If the EMail element contains the delay attribute, the message delivery is postponed till the time specified in this attribute.
When the message MIME text is generated, all addresses from the Bcc elements are skipped.
If the XML presentation does not include the Message-ID, Date, MIME-Version fields, the server creates these message fields itself.

Example:
The Client sends a simple text message to the toName@domain address and the Bcc copy is sent to bccName@domain address. The Client requests delivery notification.

C:<messageSubmit id="A001" useDSN="yes" >
    <EMail>
      <From realName="Sender Name">fromName@domain</From>
      <Subject>I'll be there!</Subject>
      <To realName="Recipient Name">toName@domain</To>
      <X-Mailer>SuperClient v7.77</X-Mailer>
      <Bcc>bccName@domain</Bcc>
      <MIME type="text" subtype="plain">Dear Susan,&#x0A;&#x0A;I will come to your place tomorrow, thank you for the invitation!&#x0A;Mary.&#x0A;</MIME>
    </EMail>
  </messageSubmit>
S:<response id="A001"/>

Example:
The Client sends a simple text message to the a1@domain and a2@domain addresses (different from the addresses specified in the To and Cc elements).
The message copy should be stored in the "Sent Items" Mailbox with the "Seen" flag.
The Client requests delivery notification.

C:<messageSubmit id="A001" targetMailbox="Sent Items" flags="Seen" >
    <Envelope-To>a1@domain address</Envelope-To>
    <Envelope-To>a2@domain address</Envelope-To>
    <EMail>
      <From realName="Sender Name">fromName@domain</From>
      <Subject>I'll be there!</Subject>
      <To realName="Recipient Name">toName@domain</To>
      <X-Mailer>SuperClient v7.77</X-Mailer>
      <Cc>ccName@domain</Cc>
      <MIME type="text" subtype="plain">Dear Susan,&#x0A;&#x0A;I will come to your place tomorrow, thank you for the invitation!&#x0A;Mary.&#x0A;</MIME>
    </EMail>
  </messageSubmit>
S:<response id="A001"/>

Example:
The Client forwards the message 156 stored in the INBOX folder to the a1@domain address:

C:<messageSubmit id="A001">
    <EMail>
      <From realName="Sender Name">fromName@domain</From>
      <Subject>Fwd: Sorry, I cannot make it :-(</Subject>
      <To realName="Recipient Name">a1@domain</To>
      <X-Mailer>SuperClient v7.77</X-Mailer>
      <MIME type="multipart" subtype="mixed">
        <MIME type="text" subtype="plain">Dear Susan,&#x0A;&#x0A;Attached please find the message I received this morning...&#x0A;Mary.&#x0A;</MIME>
        <copyMIME folder="INBOX" UID="156" />
    </EMail>
  </messageSubmit>
S:<response id="A001"/>

This operation adds the following message to the Mailbox:

messageRedirect

This operation tells the Server to compose a copy of a message stored in a Mailbox, and to submit it to the Queue for delivery.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

UID

the message UID.

partID

this optional attribute specifies the message part to read. If it is not specified, the entire message is redirected. If specified, it should specify a message part that is an E-mail message: a sub-part of the message/rfc822 part, a digest part, etc.

mirror

if this optional attribute is yes, then the message is "mirrored": it is sent to the specified addresses, but the message header To and Cc fields are left unchanged.

markRedirected

if this attribute is yes, then the "Redirected" flag is added to the message.
If this attribute is not specified, the yes value is assumed if the partID is not specified, otherwise the no value is assumed.

Body:

A set of one or more To elements specifying the recipient address(es).

Example:
The Client redirects the message 156 stored in the INBOX folder to the a1@domain and a2@domain addresses:

C:<messageRedirect id="A001" folder="INBOX" UID="156">
    <To realName="Recipient Name">a1@domain</To>
    <To realName="Recipient-2">a2@domain</To>
  </messageRedirect>
S:<response id="A001"/>

messageForward

This operation tells the Server to compose a copy of a message stored in a Mailbox, and to submit it to the Queue for delivery. The operation uses the same attributes as the messageRedirect operation, but the mirror attribute is not supported.

messageConfirm

This operation tells the Server to compose an MDN (Message Disposition Notification) report for a message stored in a Mailbox, and to submit it to the Queue for delivery.
Client applications should use this operation when:

• the message has been displayed to the user, and
• the message has the Disposition-Notification header field, and
• the message does not have the $MDNSent Message Flag, and
• the user Preference SendMDNMode is set to Automatically or it is set to Manually and the user has explicitly requested to send a confirmation.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

UID

the message UID.

type

this attribute should be set to auto (if the confirmation is generated automatically) or to manual (if the user has explicitly requested to send a confirmation).

messageAttrRead

This operation reads the Mailbox message attributes.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

UID

the message UID.

Body:

a set of field XML elements. Each element should have a text body containing the name of an attribute to retrieve.

If no field element is specified, all attributes are retrieved.
The Server returns a messageAttrData message.

messageAttrWrite

This operation modifies Mailbox message attributes.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

UID

the message UID.

Body:

XML presentation of a dictionary with new attribute values. To remove an attribute specify the null-object (<null/>) value.

The Server sends the following data messages:

folderMessage

This synchronous data message is sent when the Server processes the folderRead request.

Attributes:

folder, UID, partID, mode

copies of the folderRead request attributes.

Body:

The XML presentation of the Message or its part.

messageAdded

These synchronous data messages are sent when the Server processes the messageAppend, contactAppend, and messageCopy requests with the report attributes set.

Attributes:

folder or targetMailbox

the target Folder or Mailbox name, copied from the request attribute.

UID

the newly added message UID.

Note: even if this data message is sent for a Folder, the Server will still send asynchronous folderReport data message notifying the client about a new message added to the Folder. The client SHOULD use the folderSync operation to synchronize its internal view with the Server view, otherwise the newly added message will not be "seen" in the Folder.

messageAttrData

These synchronous data messages are sent when the Server processes the messageAttrRead requests.

Attributes:

folder, UID

copied from the request.

Body:

The XML presentation of the attribute set dictionary.

A client can use the following set of operations to manage Account ACLs.

accountRightsGet

This operation makes the Server send an accountRights data message (see below) with the user access rights for the current or specified Account.

Attributes:

userName

an optional account specifying the target Account name. If this attribute is absent, the current Account is used.

accountACLList

This operation makes the Server send an accountACL data message (see below) with the Mailbox Access Control List data.

Attributes:

userName

an optional account specifying the target Account name. If this attribute is absent, the current Account is used.

accountACLUpdate

This operation modifies the Account Access Control List.

Attributes:

userName

an optional account specifying the target Account name. If this attribute is absent, the current Account is used.

Body:

A set of aclElem XML elements. These elements are the same as those used with the mailboxACLUpdate operation, but their body strings use symbols that specify Account Access Rights.

verifyIdentity

This operation verifies that provided Real Name and e-mail address can be used by the account for the From address in outgoing mails. If the Account's settings prohibit the us of the specified Real Name and e-mail address, the server returns an error string.

Attributes:

name

an optional Real Name string for use in the From e-mail header. If this attribute is absent, the current Account's Real Name is used.

Body:

the e-mail address to be used in the From e-mail header.

The Server sends the following data messages:

accountRights

This message is sent when the Server processes the accountRightsGet request.

Attributes:

userName

the Account name (if specified in the request).

Body:

a string; each symbol specifies an effective Account Access Right granted to the current user.

accountACL

This message is sent when the Server processes the accountACLList request.

Attributes:

userName

the Account name (if specified in the request).

Body:

A set of aclElem XML elements, one element for each Account Access Control List element, same as used in the mailboxACL data messages, but the element body strings contain symbols representing Account Access Rights.

A client can use the following set of operations to use the Server S/MIME features.

SMIMEUnlock

This operation unlocks the Account Private Key stored on the Server.
When the Private Key is unlocked, the Server decrypts encrypted parts of messages retrieved using the folderRead operation.
The Server can also encrypt and/or digitally sign submitted messages.
Note: this operation transfers the unlocking string ("storage password") in clear text. The client application should use this command only over a secure (TLS) connection.
Note: the unlocked Private Key is added to the current session data only, and it is not stored anywhere. If a different session is opened for the same Account, it should unlock the Private Key by itself.

Attributes:

password

the unlocking string (password).

duration

optional attribute - the time (in seconds) to keep the Private Key unlocked; the Private Key is automatically locked after this period of time.

SMIMELock

This operation locks the Account Private Key stored on the Server (it removes the unlocked Private Key from the current session data).
It is recommended to use this operation after a certain period of user inactivity.

SMIMEModifyPassword

This operation changes the password string protecting the Account Private Key in the Server storage. The Account Private Key must be unlocked.
Note: this operation transfers the unlocking string ("storage password") in clear text. The client application should use this command only over a secure (TLS) connection.

Attributes:

password

the new unlocking string (password).

SMIMEGet

This operation retrieves S/MIME-related information stored on the Server.

Attributes:

type

type of information retrieved.

If the value of the type attribute is certificate, then the Server sends a certificate data message with the Account Public Certificate.

SMIMESet

This operation modifies S/MIME-related information stored on the Server.

Attributes:

mode

operation: add, new, update, delete.

password

the S/MIME unlocking password (required for the add and new operations).

filePassword

the password used to decrypt the imported data (required for the add and delete operations).

duration

when a new S/MIME key and certificate are set, they remain unlock. If this attribute is set, it specifies the number of seconds the S/MIME data remains unlock.

PFX

this attribute is used only if the body does not contain a PFX XML element. This attribute identifies a file in the "uploaded file set". The file should contain PKCS12 data containing a Private Key and a Certificate.

Body:

an optional PFX element; it should contain a base64 XML element with a textual body that is a Base64-encoded PKCS12 data containing a Private Key and a Certificate.

If the mode value is add, the Server gets the PKCS12 data specified with the PFX body XML element or with the PFX attribute, decrypts it using the specified filePassword value, and assigns the decrypted Private Key and Certificate to the current Account.
The server encrypts the stored Private Key data using the the specified password value, which becomes the "S/MIME unlocking string".

If the mode value is new, the Server generates a random Private Key and issues an S/MIME Certificate for the current Account, using the Account Domain "S/MIME Issuer" Certificate.
The server encrypts the stored Private Key data using the the specified password value, which becomes the "S/MIME unlocking string".

If the mode value is update, the Server updates the Account Certificate, if this Certificate was issued using the Account Domain "S/MIME Issuer" Certificate.

If the mode value is delete, the Server gets the PKCS12 data specified with the PFX body XML element or with the PFX attribute, decrypts it using the specified filePassword value, and compares the retrieved Private Key with the Private Key of the current Account.
If the Private Keys are the same, the Account Private Key and Certificate are removed.

Note: this operation transfers the storage passwords in clear text. The client application should use this command only over a secure (TLS) connection.

The Server sends the following data messages:

certificate

This message is sent when the Server processes the SMIMEGet request.

Body:

an XML presentation of the Account S/MIME Public Certificate.

The Server detects all signed message parts and tries to verify that the part body has not been altered since the time it was signed, and that the signature certificates are valid (i.e. issued by known authorities).

The MIME element body for a signed message part contain 2 XML sub-elements: the first element is the signed data (an EMail or MIME element), the second part is the SMIMESignature XML element.

If the Server failed to decode or decrypt the signature data, the MIME element body for a signed message part contains the decryptionError attribute with the error code text.

The SMIMESignature element body contains Certificate sub-elements for all signatures that match the part data. If the Server failed to verify the Certificate, its element contains the validationError attribute with the error code text. If no signature matches the the part data, the SMIMESignature element is empty.

Example:
The Client retrieves a signed message:

When the Account Private Key is unlocked, the Server tries to decrypt all encrypted message parts.

If decrypting fails, the encrypted part element contains an additional attribute:

decryptionError

the decrypting error message text.

If decrypting fails, the encrypted part is shown as the MIME or EMail XML sub-element of the encrypted part element.

If decrypting succeeds, the encrypted part element body contains a MIME or EMail XML sub-element with the decrypted data.

The encrypted part element contains additional attributes:

cipherName

the name of cryptographic cipher used to encrypt the decrypted part.

keyLength

the length of cryptographic cipher key (in bits) used to encrypt the decrypted part.

Example:
The Client retrieves an encrypted message, then unlocks the Account Private Key and then retrieves the same message again:

When the Account Private Key is unlocked, a client can submit a signed E-mail.

The EMail element should contain an additional attribute:

sign

if this optional attribute exists, and its value is yes, the message body is signed.

Example:
The Client submits a signed text message to the toName@domain address.

When the Account Private Key is unlocked, a client can submit an encrypted E-mail if there is an Address Book containg records for all E-mail recipients, and each of those records contains a recipient PKI Certificate.

The topmost EMail element should contain additional attributes:

encrypt

if this optional attribute exists, and its value is yes, the message body is encrypted.

addressBook

the name of the Address Book to look the recipient certificates in.

addressBook1, addressBook2

optional: names of the additional Address Books. If no recipient certificate is found in the Address Book with the name stated in the addressBook attribute, these Address Books are checked.

The topmost EMail element should contain the single "inner" EMail element - the content of that element will be encrypted. The inner EMail element header fields can be the same as in the topmost EMail element, or they can be different. For example, the "inner" EMail element Subject element can be different.

Note: you cannot specify both the sign and encrypt attributes for the topmost EMail element. To send an encrypted and signed message, add the sign attribute to the inner EMail element.

Example:
The Client submits an encrypted and signed text message to the toName@domain address. Note unmatching subjects. The Client requests delivery notification.

Contacts (vCard and vCardGroup) information can be stored as an E-mail item in any Mailbox. A vCard data element can be attached (as a MIME part) to any E-mail message. Each message can contain several MIME parts each containing several vCard objects.

MIME parts with the text type and x-vcard or dictionary subtype contain vCard elements.

MIME parts with the text type and x-vgroup subtype contain one vCardGroup element.

To include vCard data into a message (using the messageAppend, messageSubmit operations) include a MIME element with type="text" and subtype="directory" attributes. The element body should contain one or more vCard elements.

To include vCardGroup data into a message (using the messageAppend, messageSubmit operations) include a MIME element with type="text" and subtype="x-vgroup" attributes. The element body should contain one vCardGroup element.

• the Subject field contains the vCard FN property.
• the To field contains the vCard EMAIL properties.
• the X-Telnum field contains the vCard TEL properties.
• the X-Has-Certificate field exists and contains the true value if the vCard contains a KEY property.

In a properly composed vCardGroup item:

• the Subject field contains the vCardGroup NAME property.

Use the following operations to compose, store, and retrieve these special messages:

contactAppend

This operation composes a special E-mail message containing the vCard or vCardGroup data as its body, forms all necessary E-mail message header fields and stores the resulting message in the specified Folder or Mailbox.

Attributes:

folder

the target Folder name. If specified, the targetMailbox attribute is ignored.

targetMailbox

the target Mailbox name. It must be specified if the folder attribute is absent.
if the target Mailbox does not exist, it is created.

flags, replacesUID, replaceMode, report

these optional attributes have the same meaning as the same messageAppend attributes. If the flags attribute is not specified, its value assumed to be Seen.

Body:

exactly one vCard or vCardGroup element.

The operation adds the vCard UID and FN attributes if they are missing.

Example 1:
The Client appends a vCard object to the Contacts Mailbox.

C:<contactAppend id="A011" targetMailbox="Contacts" >
    <vCard>
      <NAME>Bjorn Jensen</NAME>
      <N><FAMILY>Jensen</FAMILY><GIVEN>bjorn</GIVEN>
        <MIDDLE>A</MIDDLE><PREFIX>Mr.</PREFIX><SUFFIX>II</SUFFIX></N>
      <EMAIL><INTERNET /><USERID>bjorn@domain.dom</USERID></EMAIL>
      <TEL><WORK /><VOICE /><MSG /><NUMBER>+1 313 747-4454</NUMBER></TEL>
      <KEY><x509 /><BINVAL>dGhpcyBjb3VsZCBiZSAKbXkgY2VydGlmaWNhdGUK</BINVAL></KEY>
    </vCard>
  </contactAppend>
S:<response id="A011"/>

contactsImport

This operation parses an uploaded file, which should contain vCard items. The resulting items are copied into the specified Folder.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

uploadID

a string identifying a file in the "uploaded file set".

contactFind

This operation searches the open Folder for vCard items (messages) with an E-mail or Telephone number matching the specified address.
When a "fuzzy" search is requested, the operation searches for vCard items containing E-mail addresses or "File as" names that include the specified address as a substring.
Only the E-mail message header fields (To and X-Telnum) are checked, not the actual vCard data.

Attributes:

folder

the Folder name.

totalSizeLimit

same as for the folderRead operation. If set to zero, no vCard message body is returned.

peer

the address to search for.

limit

the optional parameter limiting the number of items to find. The operation finishes when it finds the specified number of matching items or when all folder items are checked.

mode

if this optional attribute is specified and it has the sub value, "fuzzy search" is requested.

The found vCard message content is sent to the client as the folderMessage data message, with the additional attributes:

Attributes:

folder, peer

the same values as in the request.

UID

the found vCard message UID (numeric).

foundAddress

optional; the To or X-Telnum address element that matches the peer value.

peerName

optional; the "File as" name of found vCard.

A client can use the following operations to process a Calendar in the authenticated Account, as well as in other Accounts (by specifying the full Mailbox name as ~accountName@domainName/mailboxName).

calendarOpen

This operation opens the specified Mailbox as a "Calendar".
A Calendar represents a Server Mailbox, with all messages being parsed and all calendaring information retrieved. Alternatively, a Calendar can represent an iCalendar document (a set of iCalendar events) retrieved via the HTTP/HTTPS protocol using the specified URL.
Each calendar has a name, and one session cannot have two calendars with the same name. On the other hand, the same session can open the same Mailbox as two different calendars (with different names).

Attributes:

calendar

the name for the new Calendar to be opened. A client can use an arbitrary string as a Calendar name.

url

if specified, the URL of a remote iCalendar object. The object is retrieved, parsed, and all its VEVENT elements are used as the Calendar object data. No Server Mailbox is read in this case.

mailbox

the Mailbox name. This attribute is used only if the url attribute is not specified. If this attribute is not specified, the calendar name is used.

A session can use several open Calendars at the same time.

calendarClose

This operation closes an open Calendar.

Attributes:

calendar

the Calendar name.

findEvents

This operation retrieves the VEVENT objects from the specified Calendar. Only the Events that fall into the specified time interval are retrieved.

Attributes:

calendar

the Calendar name.

timeFrom, timeTill

the beginning and the end of the time interval (time values should be specified for the selected time zone).

byAlarm

if this optional attribute exists, and its value is yes, the operation looks not for the Events in the specified time interval, but for the Events that have an Alert element set within the specified time interval.

limit

this optional numeric attribute limits the number of the Events returned.

skip

this optional numeric attribute specifies how many "to be returned" Events should be skipped. Using this attribute, a client can retrieve a large Event set in smaller "chunks".

The Server sends one events data message for each 24-hour day (in the selected time zone) included into the specified time interval.

findTasks

This operation retrieves the VTODO objects from the specified Calendar. Only the Tasks that fall into the specified time interval are retrieved.

Attributes:

calendar, timeFrom, timeTill, byAlarm, limit, skip

these attributes have the same meanings as the findEvents operation attributes.

The Server sends one tasks data message for each 24-hour day (in the selected time zone) included into the specified time interval.

calendarRead

This operation tells the Server to retrieve a Message or its part. It is sent to the client as a calendarMessage data message.
This operation is the same as the folderRead operation, but instead of the folder attribute it uses the calendar to specify the open Calendar name.
Note: this operation cannot be applied to a Calendar object built using a remote (URL-specified) iCalendar object. Use the calendarReadItem operation instead.

calendarReadItem

This operation tells the Server to retrieve a calendar item. It is sent to the client as a calendarItem data message.

Attributes:

calendar

the Calendar name.

UID

the item message UID (a number).

calendarPublish

This operation places a calendaring item into a Calendar. The existing items(s) with the same UID are removed.

Attributes:

calendar

the Calendar name.

sendRequests

if this optional attribute exists and its value is no, the item is stored without notifying participants.
Otherwise, if there was an existing item with the same UID, Cancel requests are sent to all participants existing in the old item, but excluded from the new item.
A meeting or task request is sent to all participants, or, if this attribute value is new, to all newly added participants.

copyExceptions

if this optional attribute value is not no and the item does not contain the recurrenceID element, and the Calendar already contains an item with the same UID, all recurrence exceptions from the existing item are copied into the newly published item.

Body:

An iCalendar element to place into the selected Calendar, and optional MIME and/or copyMIME elements to add (the same as elements used with the messageAppend operation).
If no MIME or copyMIME element is present, and there is an existing Calendar item with the same UID, the attachments are copied from that item. To prevent this, include an empty noMIME element.

The iCalendar element may contain optional vtimezone elements, and it should contain exactly one calendaring item element.
It is not required to include a vtimezone element for a time zone used in a calendaring item element if this time zone is one of the standard time zones known to the Server.
It is allowed to omit a time zone name in the properties containing date values without the Z suffix. In this case the time zone selected as the current user Preference TimeZone value is used.
If the item does not contain an UID element, the Server generates a unique UID and adds it to the item.
To create or update a recurrence exception item, include the recurrenceID element into the vevent element.

Example 1:
The Client published an iCalendar object to the Calendar calendar.

C:<calendarPublish id="A021" calendar="Calendar">
   <iCalendar xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xcal">
    <vCalendar method="PUBLISH" prodid="CommuniGate Pro 5.1.7" version="2.0">

After the Server sends a "notify-mode" calendarReport message to the Client, the Server may choose not to send further "notify-mode" messages for this Calendar until the client performs the findEvents operation on this Calendar.

A Client should use the "bind" operation to start receiving signals directed to the authenticated user.

A Client can maintain one or several concurrent communication sessions ("calls"). Each call is identified with its callLeg identifier. The callLeg attribute is present in all call-related operation requests and in all Server data messages related to that call. Each call is independent.

For each call, a Client should be able to create one or several "media objects", which implement actual media (audio, video, etc.) communications. The media descrptor element ("SDP elements") are data elements (text or XML) that a Client retrieves from and sends to "media objects".
As a minimum, it should be possible to perform the following operations on each media object:

• retrieve an "offer" SDP from the media object, and then send it an "answer" SDP that describes the media object of the communication peer; or
• send an "offer" SDP describing a communication peer to the media object, and then retrieve an "answer" SDP from that media object.

If it is not possible to re-send an "offer" SDP to an already active media object, a new media object should be created, and the new "offer" SDP is sent to. If the "answer" SDP is successfully retrieved from the new media object, the old media object should be disposed of.

If it is not possible to re-retreive an "offer" SDP from an already active media object, a new media object should be created, and an "offer" SDP is retreieved from it. When the "answer" SDP received and sent to the new media object, the old media object should be disposed of.

A media object supports "forking" if it is possible to retrieve a single "offer" SDP from that media object, and then send several "answer" SDP elements to that media object, establishing several concurrent media communication channels.

Many messages and operation requests described in this section may contain an "SDP descriptor" as the XML body.
The SDP descriptor may be specified using the XML presentation, or as an sdpText XML element with the SDP descriptor in the native SDP text format.
The signalBind operation request specifies the format that the Server will be using in its messages (see below).

signalBind

This operation allows the current XIMSS session to receive signals directed to the authenticated user.

Attributes:

clientID

an optional parameter specifying a name for this session. If not specified, the Server generates a unique one.

mode

if this attribute exists, and its value is fixed, the Server rejects the operation if the Account already has an open session using the same name;
if this attribute exists, and its value is kill, the Server closes the currently opened Account session with the same name (if any).
if this attribute does not exist or it has some other value, the Server generates a unique name for this session if the Account already has an open session that uses the specified name;

presence

if this optional attribute exists, and its value is yes, the client starts to receive Roster and Presence notifications.

readIM

if this optional attribute exists, and its value is 1, the readIM messages use the "extended" format.

Body (optional):

the XML presentation of the client SDP descriptor.
The descriptor is used to specify the client capabilities (ability to accept audio/video calls) and to detect "far-end NAT" configurations.
Note: to detect "far-end NAT" configurations, the SDP descriptor must contain the ip attribute with the default media IP address used by the client (see below).
An sdpText XML element can be used instead of the SDP element. The sdpText XML element body should be text containing SDP data in the SDP native format.
If the sdpText is used, then SDP information in callIncoming, callProvisioned, callConnected, and callUpdated Server messages is also presented using the sdpText XML element.

signalUnbind

After this operation is complete, the current XIMSS session does not receive signals directed to the authenticated user.

callKill

Use this operation to end the call and release all associated resources.
If the call was in the 'calling' state, the outgoing call is canceled.
If the call was in the 'alerting' state, the incoming call is rejected.
If the call was in the 'connected' state, the disconnect signal is sent to the peer.

Attributes:

callLeg

the call identifier.

After this operation succeeds, it is possible to create a new call with the same identifier.

Outgoing calls are initiated by the Client using the callStart operation request. The Client should generate a unique callLeg attribute value for the callStart request. All other requests and messages related to this call will have the same callLeg attribute value.
When an outgoing call is started, the Server may send:

• zero, one, or several callProvisioned messages
• zero, one, or several callUpdateRequest messages
• zero or one callUpdateSolicited message

• zero, one, or several callUpdate operation requests for "early" dialogs established with callProvisioned, callUpdateRequest, callUpdateSolicited messages. For each callUpdate operation requests, the Server sends back a callUpdated message.

Incoming calls are initiated by the Server sending to the Client a callIncoming message.
The Server generates a unique callLeg value for the callIncoming message. All other requests and messages related to this call will have the same callLeg attribute value. The Server-generated callLeg value for incoming calls use the inp prefix, so the Client should not use this prefix for the callLeg values it generates for outgoing calls.
When an incoming call is received, the Server may send:

• zero, one, or several callUpdateRequest messages

• zero, one, or several callProvision operation requests. For each callProvision operation request, the Server sends back a callUpdated message.
• zero, one, or several callUpdate operation requests. For each callUpdate operation request, the Server sends back a callUpdated message.

When an outgoing call connects or when an incoming call is accepted, the call becomes an "established" one. Media in an established call flows in both directions (unless one party decides to put the call "on hold").
When a call is established, the Server may send:

• zero, one, or several callUpdateRequest messages
• zero, one, or several callUpdateSolicited messages

• zero, one, or several callUpdate operation requests. For each callUpdate operation request, the Server sends back a callUpdated message.

callStart

Use this operation to start an outgoing call.

Attributes:

callLeg

the new call identifier. The current XIMSS session should have no other call with this identifier.

peer

an E-mail address or a SIP URI to call.

peerName

an optional string - the real name of the callee.

Body (optional):

An SDP descriptor.

If the callStart request succeeds, the new call object is created and an outgoing call is initiated.
Note: the client should be ready to process call-related Server messages even before the client receives the positive response for this callStart request.
Note: if the call fails (the callDisconnected message is received), the client still needs to use the callKill operation to release the resources associated with the call, and to allow itself to reuse the call identifier.

Media Handling

Call with SDP: the Client creates a media object (called "untagged" object).
The Client should configure the created media object to operate in the "receiving-only" mode.
The Client retrieves an "offer SDP" from that untagged media object, and sends that SDP with the callStart request.
Note: to process "behind-the-NAT" calls correctly, the SDP descriptor must contain the ip attribute with the default media IP address used with the client.

Call without SDP: the Client does not create any media object. The Cleint sends the callStart request without an SDP body element.

Optionally, the Client should be prepared to create additional media objects and to build an "association mapping", where each created media object is accociated with a string - a value of the tag attribute of the receieved callProvisioned and/or callUpdateRequest messages.

callProvision

Use this operation to provision an incoming call (the call object is created when the callIncoming message is received from the Server). Call provisioning informes the caller that the callee is being alerted (the callee's "phone rings").

Attributes:

callLeg

the incoming call identifier.

Body (optional):

An SDP descriptor.

When the operation completes, the Client will receive the callUpdated message from the Server.

Media Handling

If the Client wishes to send "early media" to the caller, the Client sends a callProvision request with SDP. "Early media" may be played by the caller's device instead of its default "ringback" tones.
To send early media, the Client should create an untagged media object.
The Client should configure the created media object to operate in the "sending-only" mode.

If the callIncoming message contained an SDP:

That SDP element is an "offer".
The Client should send this "offer" SDP to the untagged media object.
Then the Client should retrieve the "answer" SDP from that media object and send it to the Server using the callProvision request.
Then the Client can instruct the media object to play the desired "early media".

If the callIncoming message did not contain an SDP:

The Client should retrieve an "offer" SDP from the untagged media object and send it to the Server using the callProvision request.
When the Client receives the callUpdated message from the Server, it will contain an error code or an "answer" SDP.
If the "answer" SDP is received, the Client should send it to the untagged media object, and then the Client can instruct the media object to play the desired "early media".

callRedirect

Use this operation to redirect an incoming call.

Attributes:

callLeg

the incoming call identifier.

fork

if this optional attribute exists, and its value is yes, the call is directed to the specified destinations, but it is still pending for this session, and it can be accepted or rejected.

Body:

one or more XML To elements. Each element should have a text body specifying a URI to redirect the call to.

Note: the client still needs to use the callKill operation to release the resources associated with the call and to allow itself to reuse the call identifier.

Example:
Redirecting an incoming call inp003 to the user1@example.com and user2@example.com.

C:<callRedirect id="A018" callLeg="inp003" >
    <To>user1@example.com</To><To>user2@example.com</To>
  </callRedirect>
S:<response id="A018"/>

Media Handling

The Client should dispose of all media objects associated with this call.

callReject

Use this operation to reject an incoming call. You can also use the callKill operation, but this operation allows you to specify an error code.

Attributes:

callLeg

the incoming call identifier.

signalCode

a numeric code (defined with the SIP standards) to pass to the Signal component as an error code.
Use the 486 code ("Busy here") to signal that this device is "busy" (but other devices registered for this user will continue to ring).
Use a 6xx code (600 - "Busy Everywhere" or 603 - "Declined") to signal that the user does not want to accept this call on any device (all other devices will stop ringing, too).
If this parameter is not specified, the 603 code is used.

Note: the client still needs to use the callKill operation to release the resources associated with the call and to allow itself to reuse the call identifier.

Example:
Rejecting an incoming call inp004 with the 603 "Declined" code:

C:<callReject id="A020" callLeg="inp004" signalCode="603" />
S:<response id="A020"/>

Media Handling

The Client should dispose of all media objects associated with this call.

callAccept

Use this operation to accept an incoming call.

Attributes:

callLeg

the incoming call identifier.

Body (optional):

An SDP descriptor.

When the operation completes, the Client will receive the callUpdated message from the Server.

Media Handling

The Client should create an untagged media object, if it has not been created yet.

If the Client has already sent a callProvision request with SDP:

The callAccept request should contain no SDP element, and the callUpdated message will not contain any SDP element.

If the Client has not sent any callProvision request with SDP, and the callIncoming message contained an SDP:

That SDP element is an "offer".
The Client should send this "offer" SDP to the untagged media object.
Then the Client should retrieve the "answer" SDP from that media object and send it to the Server using the callAccept request.
When the connection is established, the Client will receive the callUpdated message without an SDP from the Server.

If the Client has not sent any callProvision request with SDP, and the callIncoming message did not contain an SDP:

The Client should retrieve an "offer" SDP from the untagged media object and send it to the Server using the callAccept request.
The Client will receive the callUpdated message from the Server, which contains an "answer" SDP.
The Client should send that "answer" SDP to the untagged media object.

The Client should configure the "untagged" media object to stop playing "early media" and to operate in the "sending and receiving" mode.

callUpdate

Use this operation to update a call (to modify the call SDP descriptor). The Client may need to use this function if it places a call on hold or resumes it, when it changes the number and/type of the media streams (for example, adds a vidio stream to an audio call), switches to a different media object, etc.

Attributes:

callLeg

the call identifier.

tag

optional: the "to-tag" (dialog/fork ID) of an "early" dialog; should be used when updating an outgoing call.

Body (optional):

An SDP descriptor.

When the operation completes, the Client will receive a callUpdated message from the Server.
If the operation fails, the callUpdated message contains signalCode and errorText attributes. If the operation succeeds, the callUpdated message does not contain these attributes.

Media Handling

If the Client does not want to modify the call SDP descriptor, it should send the callUpdate request without an SDP descriptor. The Server will send back a callUpdatedmessage without an SDP element.

To modify the call SDP descriptor, the Client should retrieve a new "offer" SDP from the untagged media object. Alternatively, it should create a new media object and retrieve the "offer" SDP from it. This "offer" SDP should be sent using the callUpdate request.
If the callUpdated message received does not contain an errorText attribute, it contains an "answer" SDP, and the Client should send it to the same media object. If it is a newly created media object, the old "untagged" media object should be removed, and the new one should become the current "untagged" media object.
If the operation fails, the callUpdated message contains an errorText attribute. In this case, the untagged media object should be reverted to its previous state. If a new media object has been created to retrieve an "offer" SDP, that new media object should be removed.

callTransfer

Use this operation to transfer the connected peer to a different party.

Attributes:

callLeg

the call identifier.

peer

an E-mail address or a SIP URI to transfer the call to. Use this attribute to initiate a "blind transfer" operation.

otherLeg

the call identifier. It should specify some other "call" in this session. Both calls should be in the 'connected' state. Use this attribute to complete an "attended transfer" operation. The remote peer of the "callLeg" call is connected to the remote peer of the "otherLeg" call.

If the otherLeg attribute is specified, the peer attribute is ignored.

If the call transfer operation succeeds, the "callLeg" call is disconnected (the callDisconnected data message is sent to the client). Additionally, in the case of an "attended transfer", the client receives the callDisconnected message for the "otherLeg" call, too.

If the call transfer operation fails, a callOpFailed data message is sent to the client.

callUpdateAccept

Use this operation to accept call SDP modifications.

Attributes:

callLeg

the call identifier.

Body (optional):

An SDP descriptor.

The Client should send this request in response to callUpdateRequest, callProvisioned, and callConnected messages. See the description of these messages for the details.

callUpdateReject

Use this operation to reject call SDP modifications.

Attributes:

callLeg

the call identifier.

signalCode

the numeric code (defined with the SIP standards) to pass to the Signal component as an error code.
If this attribute is absent, the 488 code ("Not Acceptable Here") is used.

Body:

none.

The Client should send this request instead of the callUpdateAccept request if the Client fails to perform the requested SDP modification.
See callUpdateAccept description for the details.

callSendDTMF

Use this operation to send a DTMF signal via the signaling path.

Attributes:

callLeg

the call identifier.

Body:

a one-symbol string with the DTMF code to send (10 for '*', 11 for '#').

If the operation succeeds, the server sends a callOpCompleted message.

If the operation fails, the server sends a callOpFailed message.

callSendInfo

Use this operation to send an INFO signal to the connected peer.

Attributes:

callLeg

the call identifier.

Body:

a MIME XML element:

Attributes:

type

INFO content Content-Type.

subtype

INFO content subtype (optional).

Body:

a string with INFO content data.

If the operation succeeds, the server sends a callOpCompleted data message.

If the operation fails, the server sends a callOpFailed data message.

makeCall

Use this operation to establish a call using any registered device or client. The Server initiates a call to the authenticated Account ("self-call"), causing all its registered devices and clients to ring. When any device answers the call, that device is instructed to call the specified address (or telephone number).

Attributes:

peer

an E-mail address or a SIP URI to call.

callerParams

an optional attribute containing SIP R-URI (request-URI) parameters for the "self-call".

The operation completes as soon as the CG/PL task implementing this functionality is started. Asynchronous makeCallReport data messages are sent when the status of this task changes. When the call attempt completes, an empty makeCallReport data message is sent.

The Server can send the following data messages:

callDisconnected

These asynchronous data messages are sent when an outgoing call fails, when an incoming call is canceled, or when an established call disconnects:

Attributes:

callLeg

the call identifier.

signalCode

this optional attribute specifies the numeric signaling error code.

errorText

optional: specifies the call disconnect reason.

Note: the client still needs to use the callKill operation to release the resources associated with the call and to allow itself to reuse the call identifier.

Media Handling

Dispose of all media objects associated with this call.

callProvisioned

These asynchronous data messages are sent when there is an outgoing call in progress, after a callStart request was sent to the Server:

Attributes:

callLeg

the call identifier.

callId

the call Call-Id string

tag

the "to-tag" (dialog/fork ID) of an outgoing "early" dialog.

Body (optional):

An SDP descriptor.

In response, the Client should send a callUpdateAccept or a callUpdateReject request to the Server.

Media Handling

If the callProvisioned message does not contain an SDP element:

if there is a media object or a ringback player associated with the tag attribute value, the Client should ignore this message.
Otherwise, the Client should create a ringback player (which plays a "ringback" sound, informing the user that the callee is being alterted), and associate this player with the tag attribute value.

If the callProvisioned message contains an SDP element, and there is a media object associated with the tag attribute value:

The SDP element is an "offer".
The Client should use this "offer" SDP to update the associated media object. Then the Client should retrieve the "answer" SDP from that media object and send it to the Server using the callUpdateAccept request.

If the callProvisioned message contains an SDP element, there is no media object associated with the tag attribute value, and the callStart request contained an "offer" SDP:

The SDP element is an "answer".
The Client should remember this "answer" SDP associated with the tag attribute value, replacing any older SDP associated with this tag attribute value.
If the "untagged" media object supports forking, the Client should send this "answer" SDP to that media object; the Client should also remove any ringback object associated with the tag attribute value.
If the "untagged" media object does not support "forking", the Client should create a ringback player and associate it with the tag attribute value, if a ringback player associate with this value does not already exist.

If the callProvisioned message contains an SDP element, there is no media object associated with the tag attribute value, and the callStart request did not contain an SDP:

The SDP element is an "offer".
The Client should create a new media object and associate it with the tag attribute value. If there is a ringback object associated with the tag attribute value, the Client should remove it.
The Client should send this "offer" SDP to the newly created media object, retrieve the "answer" SDP from the media object, and send this "answer" SDP to the Server using the callUpdateAccept request.

If the Client cannot process the callProvisioned message, it should send the callUpdateReject request to the Server.

callConnected

These asynchronous data messages are sent when an outgoing call (initiated with a callStart request) succeeds, and the call is established:

Attributes:

callLeg

the call identifier.

callId

the call Call-Id string

peer

the address of the peer which has accepted this call.

tag

the "to-tag" (dialog/fork ID) of the established dialog.

Body (optional):

An SDP descriptor.

In response, the Client should send a callUpdateAccept or a callUpdateReject request to the Server.

Media Handling

If there is a media object associated with the tag attribute value, and the callConnected message does not contain an SDP element:

The Client should remove all other media objects and all ringback players. The selected media object becomes the "untagged" media object.

If there is a media object associated with the tag attribute value, and the callConnected message contains an SDP element:

The SDP element is an "offer".
The Client should send this "offer" SDP to the selected media object. Then the Client should retrieve the "answer" SDP from that media object and send it to the Server using the callUpdateAccept request.
The Client should remove all other media objects and all ringback players. The selected media object becomes the "untagged" media object.

If there is no a media object associated with the tag attribute value, the callStart request contained an "offer" SDP, and the callConnected message contains an SDP element:

The SDP element is an "answer".
The Client should send this "answer" SDP to the "untagged" media object. If the media object supports "forking" and some "answer" SDP have been sent to it, the Client should instruct the media object so stop these other media communications.
The Client should remove all tagged media objects and ringback players.

If there is no a media object associated with the tag attribute value, the callStart request contained an "offer" SDP, and the callConnected message does not contain an SDP element:

The SDP element is an "answer".
If the media object supports "forking", then some "answer" SDP associated with the tag attribute value has been already sent to it. The Client should instruct the media object to stop all other media communications.
If the media object does not support "forking", then some "answer" SDP received with a callProvisioned message and associated with the tag attribute value should be "remembered". The Client should send this remembered "answer" SDP to the untagged media object.
The Client should remove all tagged media objects and ringback players.

If there is no a media object associated with the tag attribute value, the callStart request did not contain an "offer" SDP:

The callConnected message must contain an SDP element, and that SDP element is an "offer".
The Client should create a new media object, and to send this "offer" SDP to the new media object. Then the Client should retrieve the "answer" SDP from that media object and send it to the Server using the callUpdateAccept request.
The Client should remove all other media objects and all ringback players. The created media object becomes the "untagged" media object.

The "untagged" media object (the only media object left) should be instructed to use the "sending and receiving" mode.

callIncoming

These asynchronous data messages are sent when new incoming calls are received (you need to use the signalBind operation to receive incoming calls):

Attributes:

callLeg

the call identifier. The Server generates these identifiers itself.

peer

the remote peer E-mail address.

peerName

optional; the remote peer real name.

callId

the call Call-Id string

transferredBy

optional; the E-mail address of the person who has transferred this call.

Body (optional):

An SDP descriptor.

Media Handling

The Client may create an "untagged" media object immediately, or it may create it when the Client sends callProvision or callAccept requests.

If the callIncoming message contains an SDP element:

The SDP element is an "offer".
The Client should pass this SDP to the "untagged" media object when it is created.

callUpdateRequest

These asynchronous data messages are sent when the communication peer wants to update the call parameters (such as SDP).

Attributes:

callLeg

the call identifier.

tag

optional: the "to-tag" (dialog/fork ID) of an "early" dialog.

Body (optional):

An SDP descriptor.

The client should answer by sending the callUpdateAccept or callUpdateReject request to the Server.

Media Handling

If the callUpdateRequest message does not contain an SDP element, the Client can ignore it.

If the callUpdateRequest message contains an SDP element:

This element is an "offer" SDP.
If the call is still outgoing, the Client should remove any "ringback player" associated with this tag.
The Client should find the media object associated with the tag attribute (or create a new media object if none is found).
If no tag attribute is specified, the "untagged" media object should be used.
The "offer" SDP from the callUpdateRequest message should be used to update the selected media object.
The client should retrieve the "answer" SDP from the selected media object, and send it to the Server using the callUpdateAccept request.
If the client does not want to or cannot accept the new "offer" SDP, it should inform the Server using the callUpdateReject request.

callUpdated

These asynchronous data messages are sent when an existing call is updated (placed on hold, switched to a different remote peer, etc.).

the call identifier.

tag

optional: the "to-tag" (dialog/fork ID) of an "early" dialog.

Body (optional):

An SDP descriptor.

The Server sends these messages only when a call is established or when an outgoing call is pending.

Media Handling

The Client should execute the callUpdate operation with a new "offer" SDP.

If the Client cannot initiate a callUpdate operation (for example, it cannot create a new media object), it should send the callUpdateReject request to the Server.

For a pending outgoing call, the Client should create a "tagged" media object, from which it should retrieve the "offer" SDP for the callUpdate request.

The Instant Messaging (IM) model assumes that a client maintains a separate window for each "peer", where a "peer" is some other IM user taking part in an IM conversation.

sendIM

This operation sends an Instant Message to the specified user. The Server sends a XIMSS response without waiting till the Instant Message is actually delivered (or failed).
There is no explicit IM session opening operation. If the Server does not have an open IM session with the specified peer, a new session is created.

Attributes:

peer

the E-mail address of the user to send this message to.

clientID

optional; the name or ID of the peer device to send this message to.

type

optional; the message XMPP-style type - chat, groupchat, etc.

iqid

optional; the message identifier string.

Body:

• the Instant Message text (in the UTF-8 encoding) or
• the body XML element, with the Instant Message text as its body, and, optionally, other XML message elements. Or
• the composing XML element (this element should be sent when the user is preparing the message but has not sent it yet). Or
• the paused XML element (this element should be sent when the user has stopped preparing the message before sending it). Or
• the gone XML element (this element should be sent when the user has finished the conversation).
• the subject XML element; its text body is the message subject string.

closeIM

A request to close all IM sessions with the specified user.
A client application should send this request when it closes an IM conversation window.

Attributes:

peer

the user E-mail address.

The Server sends the following data messages:

readIM

These asynchronous data messages are sent when the Server receives an Instant Message for the client user.

Attributes:

peer

the sender E-mail address.

peerName

optional; the sender real name.

clientID

optional; the name or ID of the peer device this message was sent from.

subject

optional; the message subject string (if the basic format is used).

iqid

optional; the message identifier string.

gmtTime

optional; the time stamp when the message was received.

Body:

• the composing XML element; this element is sent when the remote peer is preparing (typing) the message but has not sent it yet. Or
• the paused XML element; this element is sent when the remote peer has stopped preparing the message. Or
• the gone XML element; this element is sent when the remote peer has finished the conversation. Or
• the message content in the basic or extended format, as requested with the last signalBind operation:

  simple format:

  the Instant Message text (in the UTF-8 encoding)

  extended format:

  the body XML element with the body containing the Instant Message text, and optional additional XML message elements.

  the subject XML element; its text body is the message subject string.

There is no explicit Instant Message session opening operation. If the client has no open conversation window for the specified user, it should open a new one.

errorIM

These asynchronous data messages are sent when the Server fails to deliver an Instant Message.

Attributes:

peer

the recipient E-mail address.

errorText

the error message text.

signalCode

the numeric signaling error code.

sendid

the id attribute of the sendIM operation that sent the failed Instant Message.

The Roster and Presence model resembles that of the XMPP protocol.

A Roster is a set of items, each item describing a "contact" - some other local or remote user. The user can monitor the presence information of a "contact", and a "contact" can be granted a right to monitor the user's presence information.

rosterList

This operation retrieves all active Roster items.

Attributes:

accountName

if this optional attribute is specified, the operation reads the Roster items from the specified Account.

The Server sends rosterItem data messages for all currently active Roster "contacts".

rosterSet

This operation modifies a Roster "contact".

Attributes:

accountName

if this optional attribute is specified, the operation updates the Roster in the specified Account.

peer

the contact E-mail address.

subscription

an optional attribute:

• update or no attribute: update the contact information.
• remove: remove the contact from the Roster.
• subscribed: confirm the contact request to monitor the user's presence information.
• unsubscribed: reject the contact request to monitor the user's presence information, or revoke the already granted right to monitor.
• subscribe: send a request to monitor the contact's presence information.
• subBoth: confirm the contact request to monitor the user's presence information, and send a request to monitor the contact's presence information.
• unsubscribe: stop monitoring the contact's presence information.

name

an optional attribute specifying the Contact real name.

Body:

a set of group XML elements; each element body specifies the name of a Group this contact belongs to.

The update, subscribed, and subscribe operations create a new Roster item if the item with the specified E-mail address does not exist.

rosterGroupSet

This operation manages Roster "contact groups".

Attributes:

accountName

if this optional attribute is specified, the operation updates the Roster in the specified Account.

group

the group name.

mode

• add: create a new contact group with the specified name.
• delete: remove the exiting contact group with the specified name from the Roster.
• rename: rename the exiting contact group.

newName

the new contact group name (used only with the mode attribute set to rename).

presenceSet

This operation sets the user presence information. The Server aggregates the presence information reported by all currently connected clients (XIMSS, XMPP, SIP) and distributes it to all network entities subscribed to that information.

Attributes:

type

this optional element may have the unavailable value. It indicates that the user is "virtually offline".
If this attribute is absent, the user is online.

Body:

an optional show XML element; its text body specifies the XMPP-style user presence status:

• dnd - do not disturb, busy, on-the-phone.
• away - will be right back, in a meeting, out-to-lunch.
• xa - away ("extended away").

Alternatively, you can use a presence XML element instead of the show XML element. The presence XML element text body specifies the more detailed user presence status:

• offline - "virtually offline".
• online - online.
• on-phone - user is engaged into a real-time conversation.
• in-meeting - user is in a middle of a meeting.
• busy - generic form "cannot chat right now".
• be-back - user will be right back
• out-lunch - user is out for a break/meal.
• away - extended away.

The XML body can also contact an optional status XML element; its text body sets the custom status message. To remove a previously set custom status message, specify an empty status XML element.

When a session starts, the user is "virtually offline". The client should use this operation to indicate that the user is online.

When the user disconnects, its session status is automatically changed to unavailable (offline).

This operation can also be used to send presence information to a specific target (for example, to join an XMPP conference room). To send presence information rather than to set it, use additional attributes:

Attributes:

peer

the E-mail address of the user or a conference room to send the presence information to.

clientID

optional; the name or ID of the peer device to send the presence information to.

The Server sends the following data messages:

rosterItem

These data messages are sent synchronously when the Server processes the rosterList request. One message is sent for each Roster item ("Contact").
These data messages can also be sent sent asynchronously (see below).

Attributes:

peer

the contact E-mail address.

subscription

• to: the user can monitor the contact.
• from: the contact can monitor the user.
• both: the user and the contact can monitor each other.
• none: the user and the contact do not monitor each other.

ask

this optional attribute has the subscribe value if the user has requested a subscription to the contact's presence information, but this request has not been confirmed yet.

name

an optional attribute specifying the Contact real name.

Body:

a set of group XML elements; each element body specifies the name of a Group this contact belongs to.

If the signalBind operation was used to enable Roster and Presence notifications:

• Every time a Roster item is added or updated, the Server sends rosterItem messages with the new or updated data.
• Every time a Roster item is deleted, the Server sends the rosterItem message with the subscription attribute set to remove.
• The Server sends the presence data messages.

presence

These asynchronous data messages are sent when a presence state of some Roster "contact" (item) is changed, and Presence notifications are enabled.

Attributes:

peer

the Contact E-mail address.

type

an optional attribute:

• unavailable: the contact is offline.
• subscribe: the contact is requesting subscription to the user's presence information.
• absent: the contact is online.

Body:

a presence XML element; its text body specifies the detailed contact presence status (see above);
an optional show XML element; its text body specifies the XMPP-style contact presence status (see above).

These asynchronous data messages are also sent when a remote entity sends its presence information to this particular XIMSS session (for example, a remote conference room informs this session about users joining and leaving the room). In this case, the data message contains additional attributes.

Attributes:

clientID

the name or ID of the peer device the presence information was sent from.

A client can send and receive XMPP-style "iq" requests.

iqSend

This operation sends an XMPP-style "iq" request to the specified user. The Server sends a XIMSS response without waiting for the request to be actually delivered and processed.

Attributes:

peer

the E-mail address of the user to send the iq request to.

clientID

optional; the name or ID of the peer device to send the iq request to.

type

iqid

this attribute value is used as the id attribute of the XMPP iq request.

Body:

the XMPP iq request body.

The Server sends the following data messages:

iqRead

These asynchronous data messages are sent when the Server receives an XMPP-style iq request for the client user.

Attributes:

Body:

XML elements with the names equal to the Preference element names. An element body contains the new Preference element value. If the value is the default string, the Public Info or custom Preference value is removed, and the default value becomes the effective element value.
If the value is an array, it should be presented using the array XML presentation.
If the value is a dictionary, it should be presented using the dictionary XML presentation.

If the body contains the UserFromAddr element, the Server uses this element and an optional UserFromName element to compose the UserFrom element with an E-mail address value (in the "UserFromName_value" <UserFromAddr_value> format).

prefsReload

The Server implements some operations (such as message removal) based on the Preference values read when the session is started. When some other session modifies the Preferences, the client may use this operation to tell the Server to update these "cached" values.

If the value is an array, it is presented using the array XML presentation.
If the value is a dictionary, it is presented using the dictionary XML presentation.

If the prefs data contains the UserFrom string, the Server tries to parse that E-mail address. If the address is parsed, the UserFromAddr element (with the pure userName@domainName address) and, optionally, UserFromName element (with the address comment) are added to the data message body.

prefsModified

These asynchronous data messages are sent when the Account Preferences are modified (by this session, some other session, or some other CommuniGate Pro Server component).
It it recommended that the client re-reads the Account Preferences in response to this message.
