RE: IFX> NOT - IPPGET Delivery Method - ISSUE 02 'ippget' URI

  • Next message: Hastings, Tom N: "IFX> NOT - IPPGET Delivery Method ISSUE 01: Event Wait Mode for Job Cr eation operations"

    More on the solution to use a zero-length string for "notify-recipient-uri"
    to indicate that the 'ippget' delivery method is to be used.

    Presumably, the "notify-schemes-supported (1setOf uriScheme) Printer
    attribute would not be supported, unless there were other notification
    schemes supported as well. (Rather than having a null string scheme value,
    right?).

    So a client can tell whether or not a Printer has supported the 'ippget'
    notification delivery method, if the "operations-supported" included the
    Get-Notifications operation.

    Of course, an IPPFAX client need not check the "operations-supported" for
    the Get-Notifications operation, since an IPPFAX Receiver MUST support
    Get-Notifications and 'ippget' Delivery Method.

    Comments?

    Ira and I were talking about ISSUE 02:

    ISSUE 02: How unique do we need the "notify-recipient-uri" (uri)
    URL now that the Printer doesn't use anything but the scheme in the URL to
    match on?

    We realized that we are never going to get the IETF to accept the
    registration of the 'ippget' scheme as written, because the URI doesn't
    point at a network resource that supports a network protocol. So how about
    specifying that if the "notify-recipient-uri" attribute is a null string
    (zero length string), then that means the IPPGET Delivery Method? In other
    words, the client is going to use the in-band IPP Get-Notifications
    operation to get Event Notifications; there is no protocol involved.

    This approach is better than adding another attribute to indicate 'ippget',
    since the "notify-recipient-uri" attribute is required for Subscription
    creation and for Subscription objects.

    IPPFAX

    I've posted the updated IPPGET Event Notification Delivery Method that is
    REQUIRED for IPPFAX:

    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_NOT/ipp-notify-get-011017.pdf
    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_NOT/ipp-notify-get-011017.doc

    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/ipp/new_NOT/ipp-notify-get-011017-rev.doc

    The -rev version show the revisions since the July 17, 2001 version.

    It has all of the agreements reached at the August 1, IPP FAX meeting in
    Toronto and the subsequent 3 telecon, August 11, 14, and 17. See the
    telecon and meeting notes for the list of the changes.

    I'll send a .txt I-D later Friday. Please send any comments to the mailing
    list. We'll also review at the IPPFAX WG meeting, next Wednesday, October
    24 in San Antonio.

    There are two issues:

            ISSUE 01: Although we agreed to extend Job Creation operations to
    support Event Wait Mode, it seems to be an unnecessary complication, since
    the Printer MUST keep events for at least 15 seconds. So OK NOT to add the
    "notify-wait" (boolean) operation attribute to Job Creation operations and
    NOT have to have Job Creation responses return Event Notification Groups (in
    addition to returning Subscription Attribute Groups).

            ISSUE 02: How unique do we need the "notify-recipient-uri" (uri)
    URL now that the Printer doesn't use anything but the scheme in the URL to
    match on?

    Here are the major changes:

    1. Removed the "notify-recipients-uri" operation attribute from
    Get-Notifications, so no URI matching.

    2. Changed "notify-subscription-id" (integer(1:MAX)) to
    "notify-subscription-ids" (1setOf integer(1:MAX)); the client MUST supply
    with at least one value. Printer MUST support multiple-values.

    3. Added "notify-sequence-numbers" (1setOf integer(1:MAX)) to be parallel
    and be a floor to the Event Notifications sequence numbers returned. The
    client SHOULD supply. Printer MUST support multiple-values.

    4. In Event Wait Mode, each response is a full IPP response.

    5. Moved "notify-get-interval" back to the operations attributes group in
    the response.

    6. Added 'successful-ok-events-complete to indicate that there will be no
    more events for this Subscription object.

    7. The Printer MUST support Event Wait Mode.

    8. The client can end Event Wait Mode (without closing the connection) by
    sending "notify-wait" = 'false' any time. The Printer can end Event Wait
    Mode (without closing the connection) by returning "notify-get-internal"
    operation attribute any time (including immediately).

    9. Changed the lower limit for "ippget-event-life" from 1 to 15 seconds and
    recommend 60 seconds to agree with the PWG Job Monitoring MIB (RFC 2707).

    Thanks,
    Tom
