| ==Abstract==
| | {{BipMoved|bip-0071.mediawiki|BIP 0071}} |
| | |
| This BIP defines a MIME (RFC 2046) Media Type for Bitcoin payment
| |
| request messages.
| |
| | |
| ==Motivation==
| |
| | |
| Wallet or server software that sends payment protocol messages over
| |
| email or http should follow Internet standards for properly
| |
| encapsulating the messages.
| |
| | |
| ==Specification==
| |
| | |
| The Media Type (Content-Type in HTML/email headers) for bitcoin
| |
| protocol messages shall be:
| |
| | |
| {| | |
| | Message || Type/Subtype
| |
| |-
| |
| | PaymentRequest || application/bitcoin-paymentrequest
| |
| |-
| |
| | Payment || application/bitcoin-payment
| |
| |-
| |
| | PaymentACK || application/bitcoin-paymentack
| |
| |} | |
| | |
| Payment protocol messages are encoded in binary.
| |
| | |
| ==Example==
| |
| | |
| A web server generating a PaymentRequest message to initiate the
| |
| payment protocol would precede the binary message data with the
| |
| following headers:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| Content-Type: application/bitcoin-paymentrequest
| |
| Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
| |
| </pre>
