Introduction This memo conforms to all of the requirements and recommendations in Guidelines and Registration Procedures for New URI Schemes [BCP35]. This memo defines the IPPS URI scheme and the corresponding IPP over HTTPS transport binding. This memo updates the Internet Printing Protocol/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911], by extending section 4.1.6 'uriScheme' and section 4.4.1 'printer-uri-supported'. This memo updates the Internet Printing Protocol/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910], by extending section 4 'Encoding of the Transport Layer', section 5 'IPP URL Scheme', and section 8.2 'Using IPP with TLS'. This memo complements (but does not update) the Internet Printing Protocol/1.1 IPP URL Scheme [RFC3510]. This memo is a product of the Internet Printing Protocol Working Group in the IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group, as part of their IPP Everywhere project for mobile, driverless, ubiquitous printing. An IPPS URI is used to specify the network location of a secure print service that supports the IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911], or of a network resource (for example, a print job) managed by such a secure print service. Overview information about the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is available in section 1 'Introduction' of IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911] and section 1 'Introduction' of IPP Implementor's Guide [RFC3196]. The IPPS URI scheme defined in this document is based on the ABNF [STD68] for the HTTPS URI scheme [RFC2818], which in turn is updated by the URI Generic Syntax [STD66]. An IPPS URI is transformed into an HTTPS URI according to the rules specified in section 4.5 of this specification. This document defines IPPS URI scheme applicability, associated port (631), associated MIME type ("application/ipp"), character encoding (UTF-8), and syntax. This document contains the following sections: - Section 2 defines the conformance terminology used throughout the document. - Section 3 defines the IPP over HTTPS transport binding, after first summarizing the IPP object model terminology and the original IPP over HTTP transport binding. - Section 4 defines the IPPS URI scheme. McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 4] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 - Section 5 defines the conformance requirements for IPP Clients and IPP Printers that claim conformance to this document. - Sections 6, 7, and 8 contain IANA, internationalization, and security considerations. - Sections 9, 10, and 11 contain references, acknowledgements, and authors' addresses. - Section 12 (Appendix A) contains a complete IANA registration for the IPPS URI Scheme, per [BCP35]. 2. Conformance 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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 5] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 3. IPP Transport Bindings 3.1. IPP Model Terminology (Normative) See: Section 12.2 'Model Terminology' in IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911]. See: Section 2 'IPP Objects', section 2.1 'Printer Object', and section 2.2 'Job Object' in IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2911] for a full description of the IPP object model and terminology. In this document, "IPP Client" means the software (on some hardware platform) that submits, monitors, and/or manages secure print jobs via the IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910] to a secure print spooler, secure print gateway, or secure physical printing device. In this document, "IPP Printer object" means the software (on some hardware platform) that receives secure print jobs and/or secure printer/job operations via the IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910] from an "IPP Client". In this document, "IPP Printer" is a synonym for "IPP Printer object". In this document, "IPP Job object" means the set of attributes and documents for one secure print job instantiated on an "IPP Printer". In this document, "IPP Job" is a synonym for "IPP Job object". In this document, "IPPS URI" means a URI using the IPPS URI scheme defined in section 4 of this specification. In this document, "IPPS URI" is a synonym for the "ipps-uri" ABNF [STD68] production defined in section 4.5 of this specification. 3.2. IPP Over HTTP Transport Binding (Informative) When using an IPP URI [RFC3510], an IPP Client establishes an IPP application layer connection according to the following sequence: 1) The IPP Client selects an IPP URI value from "printer-uri-supported" Printer attribute [RFC2911], a directory entry, discovery info, a web page, etc.; McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 6] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 2) The IPP Client converts the IPP URI to an HTTP URI (with inserted port 631); 3) The IPP Client establishes a TCP transport layer connection to the target endpoint; 4) The IPP Client establishes an HTTP session layer connection to the target endpoint; 5) Optionally, the IPP Client upgrades to TLS within HTTP/1.1 [RFC2817] to establish a TLS Protocol [RFC5246] secure transport sublayer within the original TCP/HTTP connection, based on the value of the "uri-security-supported" Printer attribute [RFC2911] parallel to the selected value of "printer-uri-supported"; and 6) The IPP Client sends IPP application layer requests to and receives responses from the IPP Printer over the HTTP session layer connection. See: Section 8 'Security Considerations' in [RFC2817]. 3.3. IPP over HTTPS Transport Binding (Normative) This document defines the following IPP over HTTPS alternate transport binding for the abstract protocol defined in IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911]. When using an IPPS URI, an IPP Client MUST establish an IPP application layer connection according to the following sequence: 1) The IPP Client selects an IPPS URI value from "printer-uri-supported" Printer attribute [RFC2911], a directory entry, discovery info, a web page, etc.; 2) The IPP Client converts the IPPS URI to an HTTPS URI (with inserted port 631); 3) The IPP Client establishes a TLS Protocol [RFC5246] over TCP secure transport layer connection to the target endpoint; 4) The IPP Client establishes an HTTP session layer connection to the target endpoint; and 5) The IPP Client sends IPP application layer requests to and receives responses from the IPP Printer over the HTTP session layer connection. See: Section 'Security Considerations' in [RFC2818]. McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 7] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 8] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 4. IPPS URI Scheme 4.1. IPPS URI Scheme Applicability The IPPS URI scheme MUST only be used to specify absolute URIs (relative IPPS URIs are not allowed) for IPP secure print services and their associated network resources. The IPPS URI scheme MUST only be used to specify the use of the abstract protocol defined in IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911] over an HTTPS [RFC2818] transport, as defined in this specification. Any other transport binding for the abstract protocol defined in IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911] would require a different URI scheme. The IPPS URI scheme allows an IPP Client to choose an appropriate IPP secure print service (for example, from a directory). The IPP Client can establish an HTTPS connection to the specified IPP secure print service. The IPP Client can send IPP protocol requests (for example, 'Print-Job' requests) and receive IPP protocol responses over that HTTPS connection. See: Section 3.3 'IPP over HTTPS Transport Binding'. See: Section 4.4.1 'printer-uri-supported' in IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911]. See: Section 5 'IPP URL Scheme' in IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910]. 4.2. IPPS URI Scheme Associated Port All IPPS URIs which do NOT explicitly specify a port MUST be resolved to IANA-assigned well-known port 631, as registered in [IANA-PORTREG]. See: IANA Port Numbers Registry [IANA-PORTREG]. See: IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910]. 4.3. IPPS URI Scheme Associated MIME Type All IPPS URIs MUST be used to specify secure print services which support the "application/ipp" MIME media type as registered in [IANA-MIMEREG] for IPP protocol requests and responses. McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 9] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 See: IANA MIME Media Types Registry [IANA-MIMEREG]. See: IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910]. 4.4. IPPS URI Scheme Character Encoding IPPS URIs MUST use the UTF-8 [STD63] charset for all components. IPPS URIs MUST use [STD66] rules for percent encoding data octets outside the US-ASCII coded character set [ASCII]. 4.5. IPPS URI Scheme Syntax The abstract protocol defined in IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911] places a limit of 1023 octets (NOT characters) on the length of a URI. See: Section 4.1.5 'uri' in [RFC2911]. Note: IPP Printers ought to be cautious about depending on URI lengths above 255 bytes, because some older IPP Client implementations might not properly support these lengths. IPPS URIs MUST be represented in absolute form. Absolute URIs MUST always begin with a scheme name followed by a colon. For definitive information on URI syntax and semantics, see "Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) Generic Syntax and Semantics" [STD66]. This specification adopts the definitions of "host", "port", "path-absolute", and "query" from [STD66]. The IPPS URI scheme syntax in ABNF [STD68] is defined as follows: ipps-uri = "ipps:" "//" host [ ":" port ] [ path-absolute [ "?" query ]] If the host is empty, then "localhost" MUST be used. If the port is empty or not given, then port 631 MUST be used. The semantics are that the identified resource (see section 5.1.2 of [RFC2616]) is located at the IPP secure print service listening for HTTPS connections on that port of that host, and the Request-URI for the identified resource is 'path-absolute'. If the 'path-absolute' is not present in the URI, it MUST be given as "/" when used as a Request-URI for a resource (see section 5.1.2 of [RFC2616]). McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 10] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 An IPPS URI is transformed into an HTTPS URI by replacing "ipps:" with "https:" and inserting port 631 (if the 'port' is not present in the original IPPS URI). See: Section 3.3 'IPP over HTTPS Transport Binding'. 4.6. IPPS URI Examples Note: Literal IPv4 or IPv6 addresses SHOULD NOT be used in IPPS URIs. 4.6.1. IPPS Printer URI Examples The following are examples of well-formed IPPS URIs for IPP Printers (for example, to be used as protocol elements in 'printer-uri' operation attributes of 'Print-Job' request messages): ipps://abc.com ipps://abc.com/printer ipps://abc.com/printer/tiger ipps://abc.com/printer/fox ipps://abc.com/printer/tiger/bob ipps://abc.com/printer/tiger/ira Each of the above URIs are well-formed URIs for IPP Printers and each would reference a logically different IPP Printer, even though some of those IPP Printers might share the same host system. The 'bob' or 'ira' last path components might represent two different physical printer devices, while 'tiger' might represent some grouping of IPP Printers (for example, a load-balancing spooler). Or the 'bob' and 'ira' last path components might represent separate human recipients on the same physical printer device (for example, a physical printer supporting two job queues). In either case, both 'bob' and 'ira' would behave as different and independent IPP Printers. The following are examples of well-formed IPPS URIs for IPP Printers with (optional) ports and paths: ipps://abc.com ipps://abc.com/smith/printer ipps://abc.com:631/smith/printer The first and second IPPS URIs above MUST be resolved to port 631 (IANA assigned well-known port for IPP). The second and third IPPS URIs above are equivalent (see section 4.7 below). McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 11] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 4.6.2. IPPS Job URI Examples The following are examples of well-formed IPPS URIs for IPP Jobs (for example, to be used as protocol elements in 'job-uri' attributes of 'Print-Job' response messages): ipps://abc.com/printer/123 ipps://abc.com/printer/tiger/job123 IPPS Job URIs are valid and meaningful only until Job completion and possibly an implementation defined optional period of persistence after Job completion (see IPP Model [RFC2911]). Ambiguously, section 4.3.1 'job-uri' of IPP Model [RFC2911] states that: "the precise format of a Job URI is implementation dependent." Thus, the relationship between the value of the "printer-uri" operation attribute used in a 'Print-Job' request and the value of the "job-uri" attribute returned in the corresponding 'Print-Job' response is implementation dependent. Also, section 4.3.3 'job-printer-uri' of IPP Model [RFC2911] states that the 'job-printer-uri' attribute of a Job object: "permits a client to identify the Printer object that created this Job object when only the Job object's URI is available to the client." However, the above statement is erroneous, because the transform from an IPP Job URI to the corresponding IPP Printer URI is unspecified in either IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911] or IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910]. IPP Printers that conform to this specification SHOULD only generate IPPS Job URIs (for example, in the "job-uri" attribute in a 'Print-Job' response) by appending exactly one path component to the corresponding IPPS Printer URI (for interoperability). 4.7. IPPS URI Comparisons When comparing two IPPS URIs to decide if they match or not, an IPP Client MUST use the same rules as those defined for HTTP URI comparisons in [RFC2616] as updated by the HTTPS URI scheme [RFC2818], with the sole following exception: McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 12] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 - A port that is empty or not given MUST be treated as equivalent to the well-known port for that IPPS URI (port 631). See: Section 3.2.3 'URI Comparison' in [RFC2616]. See: Section 2.4 'URI Format' in [RFC2818]. McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 13] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 5. Conformance Requirements 5.1. IPP Client Conformance Requirements IPP Clients that conform to this specification: a) MUST support the IPP over HTTPS transport binding defined in section 3.3 and the IPPS URI scheme defined in section 4; b) MUST support the IPP over HTTP transport binding that includes HTTP Upgrade [RFC2817] defined in section 8.2 'Using IPP with TLS' of IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910] (for interoperability with existing IPP implementations); c) MUST only send IPP protocol connections to IANA assigned well-known port 631 or to the explicit port specified in a given IPPS URI; d) MUST only send IPPS URIs used as protocol elements in outgoing IPP protocol request messages that conform to the ABNF specified in section 4.5 'IPPS URI Scheme Syntax' of this document (for example, in the "printer-uri" operation attribute in a 'Print-Job' request); e) MUST only convert IPPS URIs to their corresponding HTTPS URI forms [RFC2818] according to the rules in section 4.5 'IPPS URI Scheme Syntax' of this document. 5.2. IPP Printer Conformance Requirements IPP Printers that conform to this specification: a) MUST support the IPP over HTTPS transport binding defined in section 3.3 and the IPPS URI scheme defined in section 4; b) MUST support the IPP over HTTP transport binding that includes HTTP Upgrade [RFC2817] defined in section 8.2 'Using IPP with TLS' of IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910] (for interoperability with existing IPP implementations); c) MUST only listen for incoming IPP protocol connections on IANA-assigned well-known port 631, unless explicitly configured by system administrators or site policies; McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 14] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 d) MUST NOT listen for incoming IPP protocol connections on any other port than IANA-assigned well-known port 631, unless explicitly configured by system administrators or site policies; e) SHOULD only accept IPPS URIs used as protocol elements in incoming IPP protocol request messages that conform to the ABNF specified in section 4.5 'IPPS URI Scheme Syntax' of this document (for example, in the "printer-uri" operation attribute in a 'Print-Job' request); f) MUST only generate IPPS URIs used as protocol elements in outgoing IPP protocol response messages that conform to the ABNF specified in section 4.5 'IPPS URI Scheme Syntax' of this document (for example, in the "job-uri" attribute in a 'Print-Job' response); g) SHOULD only generate IPPS Job URIs by appending exactly one path component to the corresponding IPPS Printer URI (for example, in the "job-uri" attribute in a 'Print-Job' response); h) SHOULD NOT generate IPPS URIs that use literal IPv6 or IPv4 addresses. McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 15] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 6. IANA Considerations This document requests the addition of the IPPS URI scheme to the IANA URI Schemes Registry and defines the registration information in section 12 Appendix A. This document does not require any change to the IANA IPP Registry, because it only defines a new URI scheme that may be used in the 'uriScheme' type (whose values are not enumerated) that is defined in section 4.1.6 of IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911]. There are no other IANA considerations associated with this document. See: Section 12 'Appendix A - Registration of IPPS URI Scheme'. 7. Internationalization Considerations IPPS URIs MUST use the UTF-8 [STD63] charset for all components. IPPS URIs MUST use [STD66] rules for percent encoding data octets outside the US-ASCII coded character set [ASCII]. See: Section 7 'Internationalization Considerations' in [RFC2910]. See: Section 7 'Internationalization Considerations' in [RFC2911]. McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 16] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 8. Security Considerations This IPPS URI Scheme specification does not introduce any additional security considerations, beyond those described in [RFC2910], [RFC2911], and [RFC2818], except the following: a) An IPPS URI might be faked to point to a rogue IPP secure print service, thus collecting confidential document contents from IPP Clients. Server authentication mechanisms and security mechanisms specified in IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910], TLS/1.2 Protocol [RFC5246], and HTTP over TLS [RFC2818] are sufficient to address this threat. b) An IPPS URI might be used to access an IPP secure print service by an unauthorized IPP Client. Client authentication mechanisms and security mechanisms specified in IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910], TLS/1.2 Protocol [RFC5246], and HTTP over TLS [RFC2818] are sufficient to address this threat. c) An IPPS URI might be used to access an IPP secure print service at a print protocol application layer gateway (for example, an IPP to LPD gateway [RFC2569]) causing silent compromise of IPP security mechanisms. There is no practical defense against this threat by an IPP Client. System administrators should avoid such compromising configurations. d) An IPPS URI does not define parameters to specify the required IPP Client authentication mechanism (for example, 'certificate' as defined in section 4.4.2 'uri-authentication-supported' of IPP Model [RFC2911]). Service discovery or directory protocols should be used to discover the required IPP Client authentication mechanisms associated with given IPPS URIs. See: Section 8 'Security Considerations' in [RFC2910]. See: Section 8 'Security Considerations' in [RFC2911]. See: Section 8 'Security Considerations' in [RFC2817].

Appendix A - Registration of IPPS URI Scheme Note: The following section defines the IANA registration for the IPPS URI scheme, per [BCP35]. URI scheme name: ipps Status: permanent URI scheme syntax: See: Section 4.5 'IPPS URI Scheme Syntax' of RFC xxxx. [RFC Editor: Replace 'xxxx' with assigned RFC number before publication] URI scheme semantics: The IPPS URI scheme is used to designate IPP Printer objects (spoolers, application gateways, print devices, etc.) on Internet hosts accessible using the IPP protocol. The associated MIME type is "application/ipp" defined in IPP/1.1 Model and Semantics [RFC2911] and registered with IANA. Encoding Considerations: See: Section 7 'Internationalization Considerations' of RFC xxxx. McDonald, Sweet Expires 1 June 2011 [Page 21] Internet Draft IPPS URI Scheme & Transport Binding 1 December 2010 [RFC Editor: Replace 'xxxx' with assigned RFC number before publication] Applications/protocols that use this URI scheme name: The IPPS URI scheme is intended to be used by applications that need to access IPP Printers. Such applications may include (but are not limited to) IPP-capable web browsers, IPP Clients that wish to print a file, and servers (e.g., print spoolers) that wish to forward a print Job for processing. An IPPS URI is used to specify the network location of a secure print service that supports the IPP/1.1 Encoding and Transport [RFC2910], or of a network resource (for example, a print job) managed by such a secure print service. See: Section 4.1 'IPPS URI Scheme Applicability' of RFC xxxx. [RFC Editor: Replace 'xxxx' with assigned RFC number before publication] Interoperability Considerations: A widely deployed IPP print service CUPS (on most UNIX, Linux, and MacOS client systems) has supported IPPS URIs for several years. Current work in progress in the IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group on IPP mobile printing extensions envisions requiring the use of IPPS URIs exclusively for data integrity and optional data confidentiality. Security Considerations: See: Section 8 'Security Considerations' of RFC xxxx.
