Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
1. Introduction
Many applications on mobile and embedded devices require continuous
access to network communications so that real-time events - such as
incoming calls or messages - can be delivered (or "pushed") in a
timely fashion. These devices typically have limited power reserves,
so finding more efficient ways to serve application requirements
greatly benefits the application ecosystem.
One significant contributor to power usage is the radio. Radio
communications consume a significant portion of the energy budget on
a wireless device.
Uncoordinated use of persistent connections or sessions from multiple
applications can contribute to unnecessary use of the device radio,
since each independent session independently incurs overheads. In
particular, keep alive traffic used to ensure that middleboxes do not
prematurely time out sessions, can result in significant waste.
Maintenance traffic tends to dominate over the long term, since
events are relatively rare.
Consolidating all real-time events into a single session ensures more
efficient use of network and radio resources. A single service
consolidates all events, distributing those events to applications as
they arrive. This requires just one session, avoiding duplicated
overhead costs.
The W3C Push API [API] describes an API that enables the use of a
consolidated push service from web applications. This expands on
that work by describing a protocol that can be used to:
o request the delivery of a push message to a user agent,
o create new push message delivery subscriptions, and
o monitor for new push messages.
Requesting the delivery of events is particularly important for the
W3C Push API. The subscription, management and monitoring functions
are currently fulfilled by proprietary protocols; these are adequate,
but do not offer any of the advantages that standardization affords.
This document intentionally does not describe how a push service is
discovered. Discovery of push services is left for future efforts,
if it turns out to be necessary at all. User agents are expected to
be configured with a URL for a push service.

1.1. Conventions and Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
This document defines the following terms:
application: Both the sender and ultimate consumer of push messages.
Many applications have components that are run on a user agent and
other components that run on servers.
application server: The component of an application that runs on a
server and requests the delivery of a push message.
push message subscription: A message delivery context that is
established between the user agent and the push service and shared
with the application server. All push messages are associated
with a push message subscription.
push message subscription set: A message delivery context that is
established between the user agent and the push service that
collects multiple push message subscriptions into a set.
push message: A message sent from an application server to a user
agent via a push service.
push message receipt: A message delivery confirmation sent from the
push service to the application server.
push service: A service that delivers push messages to user agents.
user agent: A device and software that is the recipient of push
messages.
Examples in this document use the HTTP/1.1 message format [RFC7230].
Many of the exchanges can be completed using HTTP/1.1, where HTTP/2
is necessary, the more verbose frame format from [RFC7540] is used.
2. Overview
A general model for push services includes three basic actors: a user
agent, a push service, and an application (server).
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
+-------+ +--------------+ +-------------+
| UA | | Push Service | | Application |
+-------+ +--------------+ +-------------+

| | |
| Distribute Push Resource |
|-------------------------------------------->|
| | |
: : :
| | Push Message |
| Push Message |<---------------------|
|<---------------------| |
| | |
At the very beginning of the process, a new message subscription is
created by the user agent and then distributed to its application
server. This subscription is the basis of all future interactions
between the actors.
To offer more control for authorization, a message subscription is
modeled as two resources with different capabilities:
o A subscription resource is used to receive messages from a
subscription and to delete a subscription. It is private to the
user agent.
o A push resource is used to send messages to a subscription. It is
public and shared by the user agent with its application server.
It is expected that a unique subscription will be distributed to each
application; however, there are no inherent cardinality constraints
in the protocol. Multiple subscriptions might be created for the
same application, or multiple applications could use the same
subscription. Note however that sharing subscriptions has security
and privacy implications.
Subscriptions have a limited lifetime. They can also be terminated
by either the push service or user agent at any time. User agents
and application servers must be prepared to manage changes in
subscription state.
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
2.1. HTTP Resources
This protocol uses HTTP resources [RFC7230] and link relations
[RFC5988]. The following resources are defined:
push service: This resource is used to create push message
subscriptions (Section 4). A URL for the push service is
configured into user agents.
push message subscription: This resource provides read and delete
access for a message subscription. A user agent receives push
messages (Section 6) using a push message subscription. Every
push message subscription has exactly one push resource associated
with it.
push message subscription set: This resource provides read and
delete access for a collection of push message subscriptions. A
user agent receives push messages (Section 6.1) for all the push
message subscriptions in the set. A link relation of type
"urn:ietf:params:push:set" identifies a push message subscription
set.
push: An application server requests the delivery (Section 5) of a
push message using a push resource. A link relation of type
"urn:ietf:params:push" identifies a push resource.
push message: The push service creates a push message resource to
identify push messages that have been accepted for delivery
(Section 5). The push message resource is also deleted by the
user agent to acknowledge receipt (Section 6.2) of a push message.
receipt subscription: An application server receives delivery
confirmations (Section 5.1) for push messages using a receipt
subscription. A link relation of type
"urn:ietf:params:push:receipt" identifies a receipt subscription.
3. Connecting to the Push Service
The push service shares the same default port number (443/TCP) with
HTTPS, but MAY also advertise the IANA allocated TCP System Port 1001
using HTTP alternative services [RFC7838].
While the default port (443) offers broad reachability
characteristics, it is most often used for web browsing scenarios
with a lower idle timeout than other ports configured in middleboxes.
For webpush scenarios, this would contribute to unnecessary radio
communications to maintain the connection on battery-powered devices.
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
Advertising the alternate port (1001) allows middleboxes to optimize
idle timeouts for connections specific to push scenarios with the
expectation that data exchange will be infrequent.
Middleboxes SHOULD comply with REQ-5 in [RFC5382] which requires that
"the value of the 'established connection idle-timeout' MUST NOT be
less than 2 hours 4 minutes".
4. Subscribing for Push Messages
A user agent sends a POST request to its configured push service
resource to create a new subscription.
POST /subscribe HTTP/1.1
Host: push.example.net
A 201 (Created) response indicates that the a push subscription was
created. A URI for the push message subscription resource that was
created in response to the request MUST be returned in the Location
header field.
The push service MUST provide a URI for the push resource
corresponding to the push message subscription in a link relation of
type "urn:ietf:params:push".
An application-specific method is used to distribute the push URI to
the application server. Confidentiality protection and application
server authentication MUST be used to ensure that this URI is not
disclosed to unauthorized recipients (Section 8.3).
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:56:52 GMT
Link: </p/JzLQ3raZJfFBR0aqvOMsLrt54w4rJUsV>;
rel="urn:ietf:params:push"
Link: </set/4UXwi2Rd7jGS7gp5cuutF8ZldnEuvbOy>;
rel="urn:ietf:params:push:set"
Location: https://push.example.net/s/LBhhw0OohO-Wl4Oi971UGsB7sdQGUibx
4.1. Collecting Subscriptions into Sets
Collecting multiple push message subscriptions into a subscription
set can represent a significant efficiency improvement for a push
service. The push service MAY provide a URI for a subscription set
resource in a link relation of type "urn:ietf:params:push:set".
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
When a subscription set is returned in a push message subscription
response, the user agent SHOULD include this subscription set in a
link relation of type "urn:ietf:params:push:set" in subsequent
requests to create new push message subscriptions.
A user agent MAY omit the subscription set if it is unable to receive
push messages that are aggregated for the lifetime of the
subscription. This might be necessary if the user agent is
forwarding requests from other clients.
POST /subscribe HTTP/1.1
Host: push.example.net
Link: </set/4UXwi2Rd7jGS7gp5cuutF8ZldnEuvbOy>;
rel="urn:ietf:params:push:set"
The push service SHOULD return the same subscription set in its
response, although it MAY return a new subscription set if it is
unable to reuse the one provided by the user agent.
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:56:52 GMT
Link: </p/YBJNBIMwwA_Ag8EtD47J4A>;
rel="urn:ietf:params:push"
Link: </set/4UXwi2Rd7jGS7gp5cuutF8ZldnEuvbOy>;
rel="urn:ietf:params:push:set"
Location: https://push.example.net/s/i-nQ3A9Zm4kgSWg8_ZijVQ
A push service MUST return a 400 (Bad Request) status code for
requests which contain an invalid subscription set. A push service
MAY return a 429 (Too Many Requests) status code [RFC6585] to reject
requests which omit a subscription set.
How a push service detects that requests originate from the same user
agent is implementation-specific but could take ambient information
into consideration, such as the TLS connection, source IP address and
port. Implementers are reminded that some heuristics can produce
false positives and cause requests to be rejected incorrectly.
5. Requesting Push Message Delivery
An application server requests the delivery of a push message by
sending a HTTP POST request to a push resource distributed to the
application server by a user agent. The push message is included in
the body of the request.
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
POST /p/JzLQ3raZJfFBR0aqvOMsLrt54w4rJUsV HTTP/1.1
Host: push.example.net
TTL: 15
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf8
Content-Length: 36
iChYuI3jMzt3ir20P8r_jgRR-dSuN182x7iB
A 201 (Created) response indicates that the push message was
accepted. A URI for the push message resource that was created in
response to the request MUST be returned in the Location header
field. This does not indicate that the message was delivered to the
user agent.
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:56:55 GMT
Location: https://push.example.net/d/qDIYHNcfAIPP_5ITvURr-d6BGtYnTRnk
5.1. Requesting Push Message Receipts
An application server can include the Prefer header field [RFC7240]
with the "respond-async" preference to request confirmation from the
push service when a push message is delivered and then acknowledged
by the user agent.
POST /p/JzLQ3raZJfFBR0aqvOMsLrt54w4rJUsV HTTP/1.1
Host: push.example.net
Prefer: respond-async
TTL: 15
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf8
Content-Length: 36
iChYuI3jMzt3ir20P8r_jgRR-dSuN182x7iB
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
A 202 (Accepted) response indicates that the push message was
accepted. A URI for the push message resource that was created in
response to the request MUST be returned in the Location header
field. The push service MUST also provide a URI for the receipt
subscription resource in a link relation of type
"urn:ietf:params:push:receipt".
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:56:55 GMT
Link: </r/3ZtI4YVNBnUUZhuoChl6omUvG4ZM>;
rel="urn:ietf:params:push:receipt"
Location: https://push.example.net/d/qDIYHNcfAIPP_5ITvURr-d6BGtYnTRnk
For subsequent receipt requests to the same origin [RFC6454], the
application server SHOULD include the returned receipt subscription
in a link relation of type "urn:ietf:params:push:receipt". This
gives the push service an option to aggregate the receipts. The push
service SHOULD return the same receipt subscription in its response,
although it MAY return a new receipt subscription if it is unable to
reuse the one provided by the application server.
A push service MUST return a 400 (Bad Request) status code for
requests which contain an invalid receipt subscription. If a push
service wishes to limit the number of receipt subscriptions that it
maintains, it MAY return a 429 (Too Many Requests) status code
[RFC6585] to reject receipt requests which omit a receipt
subscription.
5.2. Push Message Time-To-Live
A push service can improve the reliability of push message delivery
considerably by storing push messages for a period. User agents are
often only intermittently connected, and so benefit from having short
term message storage at the push service.
Delaying delivery might also be used to batch communication with the
user agent, thereby conserving radio resources.
Some push messages are not useful once a certain period of time
elapses. Delivery of messages after they have ceased to be relevant
is wasteful. For example, if the push message contains a call
notification, receiving a message after the caller has abandoned the
call is of no value; the application at the user agent is forced to
suppress the message so that it does not generate a useless alert.
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
An application server MUST include the TTL (Time-To-Live) header
field in its request for push message delivery. The TTL header field
contains a value in seconds that suggests how long a push message is
retained by the push service.
TTL = 1*DIGIT
A push service MUST return a 400 (Bad Request) status code in
response to requests that omit the TTL header field.
A push service MAY retain a push message for a shorter duration than
requested. It indicates this by returning a TTL header field in its
response with the actual TTL. This TTL value MUST be less than or
equal to the value provided by the application server.
Once the TTL period elapses, the push service MUST NOT attempt to
deliver the push message to the user agent. A push service might
adjust the TTL value to account for time accounting errors in
processing. For instance, distributing a push message within a
server cluster might accrue errors due to clock skew or propagation
delays.
A push service is not obligated to account for time spent by the
application server in sending a push message to the push service, or
delays incurred while sending a push message to the user agent. An
application server needs to account for transit delays in selecting a
TTL header field value.
A Push message with a zero TTL is immediately delivered if the user
agent is available to receive the message. After delivery, the push
service is permitted to immediately remove a push message with a zero
TTL. This might occur before the user agent acknowledges receipt of
the message by performing a HTTP DELETE on the push message resource.
Consequently, an application server cannot rely on receiving
acknowledgement receipts for zero TTL push messages.
If the user agent is unavailable, a push message with a zero TTL
expires and is never delivered.
5.3. Push Message Urgency
For a device that is battery-powered, it is often critical that it
remains dormant for extended periods. Radio communication in
particular consumes significant power and limits the length of time
that the device can operate.
To avoid consuming resources to receive trivial messages, it is
helpful if an application server can communicate the urgency of a
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
message and if the user agent can request that the push server only
forward messages of a specific urgency.
An application server MAY include an Urgency header field in its
request for push message delivery. This header field indicates the
message urgency. The push service MUST not forward the Urgency
header field to the user agent. An push message without the Urgency
header field defaults to a value of "normal".
A user agent MAY include the Urgency header field when monitoring for
push messages to indicate the lowest urgency of push messages that it
is willing to receive. A push service MUST NOT deliver push messages
with lower urgency than the value indicated by the user agent in its
monitoring request. Push messages of any urgency are delivered to a
user agent that does not include an Urgency header field when
monitoring for messages.
Urgency = 1#(urgency-option)
urgency-option = ("very-low" / "low" / "normal" / "high")
In order of increasing urgency:
+----------+-----------------------------+--------------------------+
| Urgency | Device State | Application Scenario |
+----------+-----------------------------+--------------------------+
| very-low | On power and wifi | Advertisements |
| low | On either power or wifi | Topic updates |
| normal | On neither power nor wifi | Chat or Calendar Message |
| high | Low battery | Incoming phone call or |
| | | time-sensitive alert |
+----------+-----------------------------+--------------------------+
Table 1: Table of Urgency Values
Multiple values for the Urgency header field MUST NOT be included in
requests; otherwise, the push service MUST return a 400 (Bad Request)
status code.
5.4. Updating Push Messages
A push message that has been stored by the push service can be
replaced with new content. If the user agent is offline during the
time that the push messages are sent, updating a push message avoids
the situation where outdated or redundant messages are sent to the
user agent.
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
Only push messages that have been assigned a topic can be updated. A
push message with a topic replaces any outstanding push message with
an identical topic.
A push message topic is a string carried in a Topic header field. A
topic is used to correlate push messages sent to the same
subscription and does not convey any other semantics.
The grammar for the Topic header field uses the "token" and "quoted-
string" rules defined in [RFC7230].
Topic = token / quoted-string
Any double quotes from the "quoted-string" form are removed before
comparing topics for equality.
For use with this protocol, the Topic header field MUST be restricted
to no more than 32 characters from the URL and filename safe Base 64
alphabet [RFC4648]. A push service that receives a request with a
Topic header field that does not meet these constraints MUST return a
400 (Bad Request) status code to the application server.
A push message update request creates a new push message resource and
simultaneously deletes any existing message resource that has a
matching topic. In effect, the information that is stored for the
push message is updated, but a new resource is created to avoid
problems with in flight acknowledgments for the old message. The
push service MAY suppress acknowledgement receipts for the replaced
message.
A push message with a topic that is not shared by an outstanding
message to the same subscription is stored or delivered as normal.
For example, the following message could cause an existing message to
be updated:
POST /p/JzLQ3raZJfFBR0aqvOMsLrt54w4rJUsV HTTP/1.1
Host: push.example.net
TTL: 600
Topic: "upd"
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf8
Content-Length: 36
ZuHSZPKa2b1jtOKLGpWrcrn8cNqt0iVQyroF
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
If the push service identifies an outstanding push message with a
topic of "upd", then that message resource is deleted. A 201
(Created) response indicates that the push message update was
accepted. A URI for the new push message resource that was created
in response to the request is included in the Location header field.
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:57:02 GMT
Location: https://push.example.net/d/qDIYHNcfAIPP_5ITvURr-d6BGtYnTRnk
The value of the Topic header field MUST NOT be forwarded to user
agents. Its value is neither encrypted nor authenticated.
6. Receiving Push Messages for a Subscription
A user agent requests the delivery of new push messages by making a
GET request to a push message subscription resource. The push
service does not respond to this request, it instead uses HTTP/2
server push [RFC7540] to send the contents of push messages as they
are sent by application servers.
A user agent MAY include a Urgency header field in its request. The
push service MUST NOT deliver messages with lower urgency than the
value of the header field as defined in the Table of Urgency Values.
Each push message is pushed as the response to a synthesized GET
request in a PUSH_PROMISE. This GET request is made to the push
message resource that was created by the push service when the
application server requested message delivery. The response headers
SHOULD provide a URI for the push resource corresponding to the push
message subscription in a link relation of type
"urn:ietf:params:push". The response body is the entity body from
the most recent request sent to the push resource by the application
server.
The following example request is made over HTTP/2.
HEADERS [stream 7] +END_STREAM +END_HEADERS
:method = GET
:path = /s/LBhhw0OohO-Wl4Oi971UGsB7sdQGUibx
:authority = push.example.net
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
The push service permits the request to remain outstanding. When a
push message is sent by an application server, a server push is
associated with the initial request. The response includes the push
message.
PUSH_PROMISE [stream 7; promised stream 4] +END_HEADERS
:method = GET
:path = /d/qDIYHNcfAIPP_5ITvURr-d6BGtYnTRnk

A user agent can also request the contents of the push message
subscription resource immediately by including a Prefer header field
[RFC7240] with a "wait" preference set to "0". In response to this
request, the push service MUST generate a server push for all push
messages that have not yet been delivered.
A 204 (No Content) status code with no associated server pushes
indicates that no messages are presently available. This could be
because push messages have expired.
6.1. Receiving Push Messages for a Subscription Set
There are minor differences between receiving push messages for a
subscription and a subscripion set. If a subscription set is
available, the user agent SHOULD use the subscription set to monitor
for push messages rather than individual push message subscriptions.
A user agent requests the delivery of new push messages for a
collection of push message subscriptions by making a GET request to a
push message subscription set resource. The push service does not
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
respond to this request, it instead uses HTTP/2 server push [RFC7540]
to send the contents of push messages as they are sent by application
servers.
A user agent MAY include a Urgency header field in its request. The
push service MUST NOT deliver messages with lower urgency than the
value of the header field as defined in the Table of Urgency Values.
Each push message is pushed as the response to a synthesized GET
request sent in a PUSH_PROMISE. This GET request is made to the push
message resource that was created by the push service when the
application server requested message delivery. The synthetic request
MUST provide a URI for the push resource corresponding to the push
message subscription in a link relation of type
"urn:ietf:params:push". This enables the user agent to differentiate
the source of the message. The response body is the entity body from
the most recent request sent to the push resource by an application
server.
The following example request is made over HTTP/2.
HEADERS [stream 7] +END_STREAM +END_HEADERS
:method = GET

:authority = push.example.net
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
The push service permits the request to remain outstanding. When a
push message is sent by an application server, a server push is
associated with the initial request. The response includes the push
message.

A user agent can request the contents of the push message
subscription set resource immediately by including a Prefer header
field [RFC7240] with a "wait" preference set to "0". In response to
this request, the push service MUST generate a server push for all
push messages that have not yet been delivered.
A 204 (No Content) status code with no associated server pushes
indicates that no messages are presently available. This could be
because push messages have expired.
6.2. Acknowledging Push Messages
To ensure that a push message is properly delivered to the user agent
at least once, the user agent MUST acknowledge receipt of the message
by performing a HTTP DELETE on the push message resource.
DELETE /d/qDIYHNcfAIPP_5ITvURr-d6BGtYnTRnk HTTP/1.1
Host: push.example.net
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
If the push service receives the acknowledgement and the application
has requested a delivery receipt, the push service MUST return a 204
(No Content) response to the application server monitoring the
receipt subscription.
If the push service does not receive the acknowledgement within a
reasonable amount of time, then the message is considered to be not
yet delivered. The push service SHOULD continue to retry delivery of
the message until its advertised expiration.
The push service MAY cease to retry delivery of the message prior to
its advertised expiration due to scenarios such as an unresponsive
user agent or operational constraints. If the application has
requested a delivery receipt, then the push service MUST return a 410
(Gone) to the application server monitoring the receipt subscription.
6.3. Receiving Push Message Receipts
The application server requests the delivery of receipts from the
push service by making a HTTP GET request to the receipt subscription
resource. The push service does not respond to this request, it
instead uses HTTP/2 server push [RFC7540] to send push receipts when
messages are acknowledged (Section 6.2) by the user agent.
Each receipt is pushed as the response to a synthesized GET request
sent in a PUSH_PROMISE. This GET request is made to the same push
message resource that was created by the push service when the
application server requested message delivery. A successful response
includes a 204 (No Content) status code with no data.
The following example request is made over HTTP/2.
HEADERS [stream 13] +END_STREAM +END_HEADERS
:method = GET
:path = /r/3ZtI4YVNBnUUZhuoChl6omUvG4ZM
:authority = push.example.net
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
The push service permits the request to remain outstanding. When the
user agent acknowledges the message, the push service pushes a
delivery receipt to the application server. A 204 (No Content)
status code confirms that the message was delivered and acknowledged.
PUSH_PROMISE [stream 13; promised stream 82] +END_HEADERS
:method = GET
:path = /d/qDIYHNcfAIPP_5ITvURr-d6BGtYnTRnk
:authority = push.example.net
HEADERS [stream 82] +END_STREAM
+END_HEADERS
:status = 204
date = Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:56:56 GMT
If the user agent fails to acknowledge the receipt of the push
message and the push service ceases to retry delivery of the message
prior to its advertised expiration, then the push service MUST push a
failure response with a status code of 410 (Gone).
7. Operational Considerations
7.1. Load Management
A push service is likely to have to maintain a very large number of
open TCP connections. Effective management of those connections can
depend on being able to move connections between server instances.
A user agent MUST support the 307 (Temporary Redirect) status code
[RFC7231], which can be used by a push service to redistribute load
at the time that a new subscription is requested.
A server that wishes to redistribute load can do so using HTTP
alternative services [RFC7838]. HTTP alternative services allows for
redistribution of load while maintaining the same URIs for various
resources. A user agent can ensure a graceful transition by using
the GOAWAY frame once it has established a replacement connection.
7.2. Push Message Expiration
Storage of push messages based on the TTL header field comprises a
potentially significant amount of storage for a push service. A push
service is not obligated to store messages indefinitely. A push
service is able to indicate how long it intends to retain a message
to an application server using the TTL header field (Section 5.2).
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
A user agent that does not actively monitor for push messages will
not receive messages that expire during that interval.
Push messages that are stored and not delivered to a user agent are
delivered when the user agent recommences monitoring. Stored push
messages SHOULD include a Last-Modified header field (Section 2.2 of
[RFC7232]) indicating when delivery was requested by an application
server.
A GET request to a push message subscription resource with only
expired messages results in a response as though no push message was
ever sent.
Push services might need to limit the size and number of stored push
messages to avoid overloading. To limit the size of messages, the
push service MAY return a 413 (Payload Too Large) status code
[RFC7231] in response to requests that include an entity body that is
too large. Push services MUST NOT return a 413 status code in
responses to an entity body that is 4k (4096 bytes) or less in size.
To limit the number of stored push messages, the push service MAY
either expire messages prior to their advertised Time-To-Live or
reduce their advertised Time-To-Live.
7.3. Subscription Expiration
In some cases, it may be necessary to terminate subscriptions so that
they can be refreshed. This applies to both push message
subscriptions and receipt subscriptions.
A push service can remove a subscription at any time. If a user
agent or application server has an outstanding request to a
subscription resource (Section 6), this MUST be signaled by returning
a 404 (Not Found) status code.
A push service MUST return a 404 (Not Found) status code if an
application server attempts to send a push message to a removed or
expired push message subscription.
A user agent can remove its push message subscription by sending a
DELETE request to the corresponding URI. An application server can
remove its receipt subscription by sending a DELETE request to the
corresponding URI.
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
7.3.1. Subscription Set Expiration
A push service MAY expire a subscription set at any time which MUST
also expire all push message subscriptions in the set. If a user
agent has an outstanding request to a push subscription set
(Section 6.1) this can be signaled by returning a 400-series status
code, such as 410 (Gone).
A user agent can request that a subscription set be removed by
sending a DELETE request to the subscription set URI. This MUST also
remove all push message subscriptions in the set.
If a specific push message subscription that is a member of a
subscription set is expired or removed, then it MUST also be removed
from its subscription set.
7.4. Implications for Application Reliability
A push service that does not support reliable delivery over
intermittent network connections or failing applications on devices,
forces the device to acknowledge receipt directly to the application
server, incurring additional power drain in order to establish
(usually secure) connections to the individual application servers.
Push message reliability can be important if messages contain
information critical to the state of an application. Repairing state
can be expensive, particularly for devices with limited
communications capacity. Knowing that a push message has been
correctly received avoids retransmissions, polling, and state
resynchronization.
The availability of push message delivery receipts ensures that the
application developer is not tempted to create alternative mechanisms
for message delivery in case the push service fails to deliver a
critical message. Setting up a polling mechanism or a backup
messaging channel in order to compensate for these shortcomings
negates almost all of the advantages a push service provides.
However, reliability might not be necessary for messages that are
transient (e.g. an incoming call) or messages that are quickly
superceded (e.g. the current number of unread emails).
7.5. Subscription Sets and Concurrent HTTP/2 streams
If the push service requires that the user agent use push message
subscription sets, then it MAY limit the number of concurrently
active streams with the SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS parameter
within a HTTP/2 SETTINGS frame [RFC7540]. The user agent MAY be
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
limited to one concurrent stream to manage push message subscriptions
and one concurrent stream for each subscription set returned by the
push service. This could force the user agent to serialize
subscription requests to the push service.
8. Security Considerations
This protocol MUST use HTTP over TLS [RFC2818]. This includes any
communications between user agent and push service, plus
communications between the application and the push service. All
URIs therefore use the "https" scheme. This provides confidentiality
and integrity protection for subscriptions and push messages from
external parties.
Applications using this protocol MUST use mechanisms that provide
confidentiality, integrity and data origin authentication. The
application server sending the push message and the application on
the user agent that receives it are frequently just different
instances of the same application, so no standardized protocol is
needed to establish a proper security context. The distribution of
subscription information from the user agent to its application
server also offers a convenient medium for key agreement.
8.1. Confidentiality from Push Service Access
The protection afforded by TLS does not protect content from the push
service. Without additional safeguards, a push service can inspect
and modify the message content.
For its requirements, the W3C Push API [API] has adopted Message
Encryption for WebPush [I-D.ietf-webpush-encryption] to secure the
content of messages from the push service. Other scenarios can be
addressed by similar policies.
The Topic header field exposes information that allows more granular
correlation of push messages on the same subject. This might be used
to aid traffic analysis of push messages by the push service.
8.2. Privacy Considerations
Push message confidentiality does not ensure that the identity of who
is communicating and when they are communicating is protected.
However, the amount of information that is exposed can be limited.
The URIs provided for push resources MUST NOT provide any basis to
correlate communications for a given user agent. It MUST NOT be
possible to correlate any two push resource URIs based solely on
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
their contents. This allows a user agent to control correlation
across different applications, or over time.
Similarly, the URIs provided by the push service to identify a push
message MUST NOT provide any information that allows for correlation
across subscriptions. Push message URIs for the same subscription
MAY contain information that would allow correlation with the
associated subscription or other push messages for that subscription.
User and device information MUST NOT be exposed through a push or
push message URI.
In addition, push URIs established by the same user agent or push
message URIs for the same subscription MUST NOT include any
information that allows them to be correlated with the user agent.
Note: This need not be perfect as long as the resulting anonymity
set ([RFC6973], Section 6.1.1) is sufficiently large. A push URI
necessarily identifies a push service or a single server instance.
It is also possible that traffic analysis could be used to
correlate subscriptions.
A user agent MUST be able to create new subscriptions with new
identifiers at any time.
8.3. Authorization
This protocol does not define how a push service establishes whether
a user agent is permitted to create a subscription, or whether push
messages can be delivered to the user agent. A push service MAY
choose to authorize requests based on any HTTP-compatible
authorization method available, of which there are numerous options.
The authorization process and any associated credentials are expected
to be configured in the user agent along with the URI for the push
service.
Authorization is managed using capability URLs for the push message
subscription, push, and receipt subscription resources ([CAP-URI]).
A capability URL grants access to a resource based solely on
knowledge of the URL.
Capability URLs are used for their "easy onward sharing" and "easy
client API" properties. These make it possible to avoid relying on
relationships between push services and application servers, with the
protocols necessary to build and support those relationships.
Capability URLs act as bearer tokens. Knowledge of a push message
subscription URI implies authorization to either receive push
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
messages or delete the subscription. Knowledge of a push URI implies
authorization to send push messages. Knowledge of a push message URI
allows for reading and acknowledging that specific message.
Knowledge of a receipt subscription URI implies authorization to
receive push receipts.
Encoding a large amount of random entropy (at least 120 bits) in the
path component ensures that it is difficult to successfully guess a
valid capability URL.
8.4. Denial of Service Considerations
A user agent can control where valid push messages originate by
limiting the distribution of push URIs to authorized application
servers. Ensuring that push URIs are hard to guess ensures that only
application servers that have received a push URI can use it.
Push messages that are not successfully authenticated by the user
agent will not be delivered, but this can present a denial of service
risk. Even a relatively small volume of push messages can cause
battery-powered devices to exhaust power reserves.
To address this case, the W3C Push API [API] has adopted Voluntary
Application Server Identification [I-D.ietf-webpush-vapid], which
allows a user agent to restrict a subscription to a specific
application server. The push service can then identity and reject
unwanted messages without contacting the user agent.
A malicious application with a valid push URI could use the greater
resources of a push service to mount a denial of service attack on a
user agent. Push services SHOULD limit the rate at which push
messages are sent to individual user agents.
A push service MAY return a 429 (Too Many Requests) status code
[RFC6585] when an application server has exceeded its rate limit for
push message delivery to a push resource. The push service SHOULD
also include a Retry-After header [RFC7231] to indicate how long the
application server is requested to wait before it makes another
request to the push resource.
A push service or user agent MAY also terminate subscriptions
(Section 7.3) that receive too many push messages.
A push service is also able to deny service to user agents.
Intentional failure to deliver messages is difficult to distinguish
from faults, which might occur due to transient network errors,
interruptions in user agent availability, or genuine service outages.
Thomson, et al. Expires November 9, 2016 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft HTTP Web Push May 2016
8.5. Logging Risks
Server request logs can reveal subscription-related URIs or
relationships between subscription-related URIs for the same user
agent. Limitations on log retention and strong access control
mechanisms can ensure that URIs are not revealed to unauthorized
entities.
9. IANA Considerations
This protocol defines new HTTP header fields in Section 9.1. New
link relation types are identified using the URNs defined in
Section 9.2. Port registration is defined in Section 9.3
9.1. Header Field Registrations
HTTP header fields are registered within the "Message Headers"
registry maintained at <https://www.iana.org/assignments/message-
headers/>.
This document defines the following HTTP header fields, so their
associated registry entries shall be added according to the permanent
registrations below ([RFC3864]):
+-------------------+----------+----------+--------------+
| Header Field Name | Protocol | Status | Reference |
+-------------------+----------+----------+--------------+
| TTL | http | standard | Section 5.2 |
| Urgency | http | standard | Section 5.3 |
| Topic | http | standard | Section 5.4 |
