--=====================_2723766==_.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Just thought I'd let everyone know that a revised version of the SCMP document has been posted as an I-D. To: IETF-Announce: ; Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-arnold-scmp-05.txt A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Simple Commerce Messaging Protocol (SCMP) Version 1 Message Specification Author(s) : T. Arnold, J. Eaton Filename : draft-arnold-scmp-05.txt Pages : 12 Date : 11-Apr-00 The Simple Commerce Messaging Protocol (SCMP) is a general-purpose electronic commerce message protocol for secure, real-time communication of a set of data from a sending agent's application to a receiving agent's server. Additionally the response by the receiving agent's server to the sending agent is the reply from the request represented by the set of data in the message's payload. The intent of this protocol is to define a method where trading partners can perform on-line business requests in an environment where the sending partner is fully authenticated, and the message cannot be repudiated. The taxonomy of the SCMP message payload is not in the scope of this document. The SCMP protocol does not specify payload definitions or how trading partners are expected to process the payload, beyond basic server-level functions related to processing SCMP headers. This intent is to permit trading partners the flexibility to implement either a standard commerce message format as in ANSI-X12 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or some other non-standard payload format. This document does give an example implementation of a payload format based on [XML]. The only requirement on the message payload is that it be prepared as specified in [MIME]. In this manner, SCMP fundamentally differs from many emerging commerce message protocols. Beyond specifying the method for encryption, authentication and handling, these other protocols specify the contents of the message and details how a server is to process and respond to a given message payload. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-arnold-scmp-05.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-arnold-scmp-05.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: [email protected]. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-arnold-scmp-05.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
