>CCI++ is based on the de facto standards for resource reference
>(Universal Resource Identifier - URI) [2], location (Universal
>Resource Locator - URL) [3], name (Universal Resource Name - URN)
>[4]; access protocol (Hypertext Transfer Protocol - HTTP); content-
>type and format specification (Multipurpose Internet Mail
>Extensions - MIME) [4]; and document structure (Hypertext Markup
>Language - HTML). CCI++ was first termed Distributed Hypermedia
>Object Embedding (DHOE) and was used in a open and distributed
>compound object system in late 1993 to integrate text, movies,
>images, and 3D object data from a variety of network servers [1].
>
>Note that since CCI++ is derived from CCI and HTTP, it adopts most
>of the conventions, rules and characteristics of CCI and HTTP, and
>this document is compiled based on the HTTP/1.0 draft.
>
>1.2 Overall Operation
>
>The CCI++ protocol is based on a request/response paradigm. Each
>participating CCI++ application sends and receives messages
>asynchronously in communication with a hypermedia user agent
>(HMUA). The HMUA initiates all cooperating applications and
>manages the presentation of the integrated hypermedia document. A
>requesting program (termed a client) establishes a connection with
>a receiving program (termed a server) and sends a request to the
>server in the form of a request method, URI, and protocol version,
>followed by a MIME-like message containing request modifiers,
>client information, and possible body content. The server responds
>with a status line (including its protocol version and a success or
>error code), followed by a MIME-like message containing server
>information, object meta-information, and possible body content. It
>should be noted that a given program may be capable of being both a
>client and a server; our use of those terms refers only to the role
>being performed by the program during a particular connection,
>rather than to the program's purpose in general.
>
>On the Internet, the communication generally takes place over a
>TCP/IP connection. The default port is TCP 8000, but other ports
>can be used. This does not preclude the CCI++ protocol from being
>implemented on top of any other protocol on the Internet, or on
>other networks. The mapping of the CCI++ request and response
>structures onto the transport data units of the protocol in
>question is outside the scope of this specification.
>
>For the current implementation, the client establishes connection
>to the server listening on a given port, and the connection is kept
>alive until the service is no longer needed. However, this is not
>a feature of the protocol and is not required by this
>specification. Both clients and servers must be capable of handling
>cases where either party closes the connection prematurely, due to
>user action, automated time-out, or program failure. In any case,
>the closing of the connection by either or both parties always
>terminates the current request, regardless of its status. Although
>not explicitly stated in the protocol, a client (e.g. browser)
>usually acquires the locations of various available servers, either
>through start-up resources, or from another server. A client may
>also launch the server as a data handler to decipher the data types
>it is unable to handle.
>
>Each HMUA supports an inherent set of data types (e.g. only MIME
>content-types =93text/html=94 and =93image/gif=94 are supported by NCSA
>Mosaic) and an inherent set of protocols; other types and procotols
>are supported through helper applications and gateways. However,
>helper applications are not integrated with the browser and gateway
>functionality is dependent on the existence of a gateway server.
>The CCI procotol extends the HMUA with support for abitrary data
>types and access protocols.
>
>The HMUA initiates a CCI++ connection with a locally defined
>application whenever a server responds with a non-inherent content-
>type. The local application may simply translate the format (e.g.
>=93image/jpeg=94 to =93image/gif=94), acting as a local filter, or it may
>present a control panel and allow the user to control the
>integrated presentation of the resource (e.g. an =93image/mpeg=94 movie
>viewer). In addition to content-types, the HMUA also may launch a
>local application when attempting to access a resource via a non-
>inherent protocol.
>
>Example:
>
> 1. Mosaic requests URL http://<server>/<opaque>
> 2. HTTP server responds with a content-type of
>=93application/pdf=94
> 3. Mosaic launches local application to handle Adobe PDF
>format
> 4. PDF helper application returns =93text/html=94 content to
>Mosaic:
> <HTML>
> <HEAD>
> <TITLE>CCI Protocol</TITLE>
> </HEAD>
> <BODY>
> <A HREF=3D=93http://<server>/<opaque>=94>
> <IMG SRC=3D=93CCI%20Protocol/Page1=94 ISMAP>
> </A>
> </BODY>
> </HTML>
> 5. Mosaic displays the content with the mapped image
> 6. User clicks on mapped image
> 7. Mosaic informs local application of requested resource:
> 301 GET http://<server>/<opaque>?301,402
> 8. Local application interprets URL and sends content to
>Mosaic
>
>For the current implementation, the client establishes connection
>to the server listening on a given port, and the connection is kept
>alive until the service is no longer needed. However, this is not
>a feature of the protocol and is not required by this
>specification. Both clients and servers must be capable of handling

>2. Notational Conventions and Generic Grammar
>
>Please refer to the HTTP/1.0 draft for information about Augmented
>BNF and basic rules.
>
>3. CCI++ Message
>
>CCI++ messages consist of requests from client to server and
>responses from server to client.
>
> CCI++-message =3D Simple-Request
> | Simple-Response
> | Full-Request
> | Full-Response
>
>Full-Request and Full-Response use the generic message format of
>RFC 822 [5] for transferring objects. Both messages may include
>optional header fields (a.k.a. "headers") and an object body. The
>object body is separated from the headers by a null line (i.e., a
>line with nothing preceding the CRLF).
>
>4. Usage of RFC 822 and MIME Constructs
>
>Like HTTP/1.0, CCI++ reuses many of the constructs defined for
>Internet Mail (RFC 822, [5]) and the Multipurpose Internet Mail
>Extensions (MIME, [4]) to allow Object's to be transmitted in an
>open variety of representations. Please refer to the HTTP/1.0
>draft for the constraints HTTP/1.0 does not obey, and further
>information about various formats and types.
>
>5. Request
>
>A request message from a client to a server includes, within the
>first line of that message, the method to be applied to the object
>requested, the identifier of the object, and the protocol version
>in use. For backwards compatibility with the more limited HTTP/0.9
>protocol, there are two valid formats for an HTTP request:
>
> Request =3D Simple-Request | Full-Request
>
> Simple-Request =3D "GET" SP URI CRLF ; HTTP/0.9
>request
>
> Full-Request =3D Request-Line ; see Section 5.1
> General-Header ; see Section 4.3
> Request-Header ; see Section 5.5
> Object-Header ; see Section 7
> CRLF
> [ Object-Body ] ; see Section 3.2
>
>If an CCI++ server receives a Simple-Request, it must respond with
>an CCI++ Simple-Response. Similarly, if a client receives a
>response that does not begin with a Status-Line, it should assume
>that the response is a Simple-Response and parse it accordingly.
>
>Please refer to HTTP/1.0 draft for detailed information about
>different types of requests as well as definitions and formats of
>version information, URI, and request header fields.
>
>5.1 Request-Line
>
>The Request-Line begins with a method token, followed by the URI
>and the protocol version, and ending with CRLF. The elements are
>separated by SP characters. No CR or LF are allowed except in the
>final CRLF sequence.
>
> Request-Line =3D Method SP URI SP HTTP-Version CRLF
>
>5.2 Method
>
>The Method token indicates the method to be performed on the
>resource identified by the URI. The method is case-sensitive and
>extensible.
>
> Method =3D "GET" | "DISPLAY" | "POST"
> | "SEND" | "DISCONNECT" | "QUIT"
> | "CONFIGURE" | "EVENT" | "UPDATE"
> | extension-method
> extension-method=3Dtoken
>
>Note that all CCI methods are kept for backward compatibility.
>Those methods which not available in CCI are CONFIGURE, EVENT, and
>UPDATE.
>
>The methods SEND, DISCONNECT, CONFIGURE, EVENT, UPDATE, must be
>supported by all conforming CCI++ servers. The list of methods
>acceptable by a specific resource can be specified in an "Allow"
>Object-Header (HTTP/1.0 draft Section 7.1). However, the client is
>always notified, through the return code of the response, whether
>a method is currently allowed on a specific resource, as this can
>change dynamically. The set of common methods for CCI++ is
>described below. Although this set can be easily expanded,
>additional methods cannot be assumed to share the same semantics
>for separately extended clients and servers. Servers should return
>the Status-Code "501 Not Implemented" if the method is unknown.
>
>5.2.1 GET
>
>GET ( URL | URN ) <url> [ OUTPUT ( CURRENT | NEW | NONE ) ]
>
>As in HTTP, the GET command tells the browser to resolve the given
>URL. The resulting object will be either be displayed by the
>browser (when the output option is CURRENT or NEW) or returned to
>the external application that issued the request (when output
>option is NONE). Location of where the output is displayed is
>optional with the default being the current window.
>
>If the output option NONE is specified then the URL will not be
>displayed by the browser, rather it will be returned directly to
>the external application. This allows an external program which
>does not understand HTTP to use the browser for data retrieval.
>
>5.2.2 POST
>
>POST <host>:<port>
>Content-Length: (length of MIME body)
>...MIME body...
>
>The POST command tells the browser to forward the following MIME
>body to the specified HTTP server (<host>:<port>). It serves the
>original purposes of the POST method in HTTP:
>
> o Annotation of existing documents;
>
> o Posting a message to a bulletin board topic, newsgroup,
>mailing list, or similar group of articles;
>
> o Providing a block of data (usually a form) to a data-handling
>process, or a script which can be run by such a process;
>
> o Extending a document during authorship.
>
>A successful POST does not require that the object be created as a
>resource on the origin server or made accessible for future
>reference. That is, the action performed by the POST method might
>not result in a resource that can be identified by a URI. In this
>case, a "200 OK" is the appropriate Status-Code returned in the
>response. If a resource has been created, "201 Created" should be
>the response.
>
>Note: The user agent may not assume any postconditions of the
>method in terms of web topology. For example, if a POST is
>accepted, the effect may be delayed or overruled by human
>moderation, batch processing, etc. The user agent should not rely
>on the resource being immediately (or ever) created.
>
>5.2.4 SEND
>
>The SEND method is used to transmit information from the external
>application to the browser and vice-versa. To be backward
>compatible with CCI, this method has several variations:
>
>(a) SEND DATA
>
>SEND DATA [ ( CURRENT | NEW ) ]
>Content-Type: data type
>Content-Length: (length of data body)
>...MIME body...
>
>The SEND DATA command transmits data from the external application
>to the browser which then displays the data. The data message
>begins following the <CRLF> after the Content-Length line.
>
>The optional output (CURRENT|NEW) suggests to the browser where to
>display the document. With the CURRENT option, the document should
>appear in the active window, while NEW would specify that a new
>window should be created to display the data. If output is not
>specified the default is to display in the current active window.
>
>(b) SEND ANCHOR
> SEND ANCHOR STOP
>
>This message informs the browser to send all activated URL anchors
>to the external application. The browser is intended to continue
>sending activation messages until a SEND ANCHOR STOP message is
>sent. Output from the browser to the external application will be:
>
> 301 ANCHOR <url>
>
>(c) SEND OUTPUT <type>
> SEND OUTPUT STOP <type>
>
>This message informs the browser to send all subsequent objects
>with the specified MIME <type> to the external application. The
>recipient will then be responsible for displaying the output.
>
>Output from the browser.
>
> 306 Viewer output
> Content-Type: data type
> Content-Length: (length of data body)
> ... data body ...
>
>5.2.5 DISCONNECT
>
>In CCI, this method notifies the browser that connecting
>applications will be exiting. CCI++ requires the external
>application to understand this command as well (e.g. the browser
>may try to shutdown the connection when it is being manually
>terminated by a user).
>
>5.2.6 QUIT
>
>In CCI, this request tells the browser to shutdown. It is intended
>for clean up when the browser is used as a slave process and the
>master application is exiting or will no longer be using the
>browser. QUIT will also be used for the browser to shutdown the
>external application in CCI++ because in a distributed compound
>document system, the user interacts primarily with the browser, and
>the browser should be able to terminate the external application or
>data handler when it no longer needs the particular type of data-
>handling service.
>
>5.2.7 CONFIGURE
>
>CONFIGURE is used by the external application to inform the browser
>of specific actions of which it wishes to be informed. It has the
>following forms:
>
>(a) CONFIGURE EVENT CLEAR ( BUTTON | KEY | AREA | ALL )
> CONFIGURE EVENT ( ADD | REMOVE ) ( BUTTON | KEY | AREA ) <p>
><ap>
>
>CONFIGURE EVENT is used by an external application to inform the
>browser of the event(s) in which it is interested; the optional
>CLEAR token is used for reset. The type, parameter, and
>additional_parameter can be one of the following:
>
>type parameter additional parameter

> CRLF
> [ Object-Body ] ; see Section 3.2
>
>6.1 Status-Line
>
>The Status-Line consists of the protocol version followed by a

>6.2 CCI++ Version
>
>The CCI++-Version element identifies the protocol version being

>corresponding HTTP-Version field in the Request-Line described in
>HTTP/1.0 draft Section 5.3.
>
>6.3 Status Codes and Reason Phrases
>
>The Status-Code element is a 3-digit integer result code of the

>intended to give a short textual description of the Status-Code.
>The Status-Code is intended for use by automata and the Reason-
>Phrase is intended for the human user. The client is not required
>to examine the Reason-Phrase, nor to pass it on to the human user.
>
> Status-Code =3D 3DIGIT
>
> Reason-Phrase =3D token *( SP token )
>
>All responses, regardless of the Status-Code, may contain an Object-
>Header and/or an Object-Body. This can either be the object pointed
>to by the requested URI or an object containing further explanation
>of the Status-Code. In the latter case, the preferred media type is
>"text/html", but "text/plain" is also acceptable.
>
>The first digit of the Status-Code defines the class of responses
>known to HTTP. The last two digits do not have any categorization
>role. There are 5 values for the first digit:
>
> o 1xx: Not used, but reserved for future use
>
> o 2xx: Success - The requested action was successfully received
>and understood
>
> o 3xx: Redirection - Further action must be taken in order to

>
> o 4xx: Client Error - The request contains bad syntax or is
>inherently impossible to fulfill
>
> o 5xx: Server Error - The server could not fulfill the request
>
>The values of the numeric status codes and an example set of
>corresponding Reason-Phrase's are presented below. Every Status-
>Code has a description of which method it can follow and any
>metainformation required in the HTTP-header (refer to HTTP/1.0
>draft).
>
>6.3.1 Successful 2xx
