− | ==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>
