Introduction 87 Compliant software MUST follow this specification. The capitalized 88 key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", 89 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this 90 document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 92 1.1 The Short Message Service 94 The Short Message Service (SMS) [SMS] is a rather simple service for 95 sending messages between SMS clients or, using so-called "Telematic 96 Interworking", from an SMS client through a gateway to a receiver 97 using a different service, such as fax or email. The SMS service is 98 described in more detail in the SMS service registration memo 99 [draft-wilde-sms-service-10]. 101 1.2 Universal Resource Identifiers 103 One of the core specifications for identifying resources on the 104 Internet is RFC 3986 [RFC3986], specifying the syntax and semantics 105 of a Universal Resource Identifier (URI). The most important notion 106 of URIs are "schemes", which define a framework within which 107 resources can be identified (and possibly accessed). URIs enable 108 users to identify resources, and are used for very diverse schemes 109 such as access protocols (HTTP, FTP), broadcast media (TV channels 110 [RFC2838]), messaging (email [RFC2368]), or even telephone numbers 111 (voice [RFC2806]). 113 URIs often are mentioned together with Universal Resource Names 114 (URNs) and/or Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), and it often is 115 unclear how to separate these concepts. For the purpose of this 116 memo, only the term URI will be used, referring to the most 117 fundamental concept. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has issued 118 a note [uri-clarification] discussing the topic of URIs, URNs, and 119 URLs in detail. 121 1.3 SMS Messages and the Internet 123 One of the important reasons for the universal access of the Web is 124 the ability to access all information through a unique interface. 125 This kind of integration makes it easy to provide information as well 126 as to consume it. One aspect of this integration is the support of 127 user agents (in the case of the Web, commonly referred to as 128 browsers) for multiple content formats (such as HTML, GIF, JPEG) and 129 access schemes (such as HTTP, HTTP-S, FTP). 131 The "mailto" scheme has proven to be very useful and popular, because 132 most user agents support it by providing an email composition 133 facility when the user activates (eg, clicks on) the URI. 134 Accordingly, the "sms" scheme could be supported by user agents by 135 providing an SMS message composition facility when the user activates 136 the URI. Alternatively, in cases where the user agent does not 137 provide a built-in SMS message composition facility, the scheme could 138 still be supported by opening a Web page which provides such a 139 service. The specific Web page to be used could be configured by the 140 user, so that each user could use the SMS message composition service 141 of his choice. 143 The goal of this memo is to specify the "sms" URI scheme, so that 144 user agents (such as Web browsers and email clients) could start to 145 support it. The "sms" URI scheme identifies SMS message endpoints as 146 resources. When "sms" URIs are dereferenced, implementations MAY 147 create a message and present it to be edited before being sent, or 148 they MAY use additional services to provide the functionality 149 necessary for composing a message and sending it to the SMS message 150 endpoint. 152 1.3.1 SMS Messages and the Web 154 SMS messages can provide an alternative to a "mailto" URIs [RFC2368], 155 or "tel" or "fax" URIs [RFC2806]. When a "sms" URI is activated, the 156 user agent MAY start a program for sending an SMS message, just as 157 "mailto" may open a mail client. Unfortunately, most browsers do not 158 support the external handling of internally unsupported URI schemes 159 in the same generalized way as most of them support external handling 160 of additional MIME type content for types which they do not support 161 internally. Ideally, user agents should implement generic URI 162 parsers and provide a way to associate unsupported schemes with 163 external applications (or Web services). 165 The recipient of an SMS message need not be a mobile phone. It can 166 be a server that can process SMS messages, either by gatewaying them 167 to another messaging system (such as regular electronic mail), or by 168 parsing them for supplementary services. 170 SMS messages can be used to transport almost any kind of data (even 171 though there is a very tight size limit), but the only standardized 172 data formats are character-based messages in different character 173 encodings. SMS messages have a maximum length of 160 characters 174 (when using 7-bit characters from the SMS character set), or 140 175 octets. However, SMS messages can be concatenated to form longer 176 messages. It is up to the user agent to decide whether to limit the 177 length of the message, and how to indicate this limit in its user 178 interface, if necessary. There is one exception to this, see 179 Section 2.5. 181 1.3.2 SMS Messages and Forms 183 The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) [HTML401] provides a way to 184 collect information from a user and pass it to a server for 185 processing. This functionality is known as "HTML forms". A 186 filled-in form is usually sent to the destination using the Hypertext 187 Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or email. However, SMS messages can also be 188 used as the transport mechanism for these forms. As SMS transport is 189 "out-of-band" as far as normal HTTP over TCP/IP is concerned, this 190 provides a way to fill in forms offline, and send the data without 191 making a TCP connection to the server, as the set-up time, cost, and 192 overhead for a TCP connection are large compared to an SMS message. 193 Also, depending on the network configuration, the sender's telephone 194 number may be included in the SMS message, thus providing a weak form 195 of authentication. 197 2. The "sms" URI Scheme 199 Syntax definitions are given using the Augmented BNF for Syntax 200 Specifications [RFC2234]. 202 2.1 Applicability 204 This URI scheme is intended for sending an SMS message to a certain 205 recipient(s). The functionality is quite similar to that of the 206 "mailto" URL, which (as per RFC 2368 [RFC2368]) can also be used with 207 a comma-separated list of email addresses. 209 In some situations, it may be necessary to guide the sender to send 210 the SMS message via a certain SMSC. For this purpose, the URI may 211 specify the number of the SMSC. 213 SMS messages may be sent through gateways to other services. These 214 gateways are operated inside SMS centers. An "SMS" URI may specify 215 that a certain gateway should be used. 217 The notation for phone numbers is taken from [RFC3601]. Refer to 218 this document for information on why this particular format was 219 chosen. 221 How the SMS message is sent to the SMSC is outside the scope of this 222 specification. SMS messages can be sent over the GSM air interface, 223 by using a modem and a suitable protocol, or by accessing services 224 over other protocols, such as a Web service for sending SMS messages. 225 Also, SMS message service options like deferred delivery and delivery 226 notification requests are not in the scope of this document. Such 227 services MAY be requested from the network by the user agent if 228 necessary. 230 SMS messages sent as a result of this URI MUST be sent as class 1 SMS 231 messages, if the user agent is able to specify the message class. 233 2.2 Formal Definition 235 The URI scheme's keywords specified in the following syntax 236 description are case-insensitive. The syntax of an "sms" URI is 237 formally described as follows, where the base syntax is taken from 238 RFC 3986 [RFC3986]: 240 sms-uri = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" sms-body ] 241 scheme = "sms" 242 hier-part = sms-recipient *( "," sms-recipient ) 243 sms-recipient = gstn-phone sms-qualifier 244 sms-qualifier = *( smsc-qualifier / pid-qualifier ) 245 smsc-qualifier = ";smsc=" SMSC-sub-addr 246 pid-qualifier = ";pid=" PID-sub-addr 247 sms-body = "body=" query 249 The syntax definition for "gstn-phone" is taken from RFC 3601 250 [RFC3601], allowing global as well as local telephone numbers. 252 The syntax definition for "query" is taken from RFC 3986 [RFC3986], 253 please refer to that document. 255 The syntax definition for "SMSC-sub-addr" and "PID-sub-addr" is 256 derived from [draft-wilde-sms-service-10], please refer to that 257 document for the syntax of the qualifier values. 259 The "sms-body" is used to define the body of the SMS message to be 260 composed. It consists of percent-encoded UTF-8 characters. 261 Implementations MUST make sure that the sms-body characters are 262 converted to a suitable character encoding before sending, the most 263 popular being the 7-bit SMS character encoding, another variant 264 (though not as universally supported as 7-bit SMS) is the UCS-2 265 character encoding (both specified in [SMS-CHAR]). Implementations 266 MAY choose to silently discard (or convert) characters in the sms- 267 body that are not supported by the SMS character set they are using 268 to send the SMS message. 270 It should be noted that both the SMSC as well as the PID qualifier 271 may appear only once per sms-recipient. If multiple SMSC or PID 272 qualifiers are present, conforming software MUST interpret the first 273 occurrence and ignore all other occurrences. 275 2.3 Parsing an "sms" URI 277 The following list describes the steps for processing an "sms" URI: 279 1. The "gstn-phone" of the first "sms-recipient" is extracted. It 280 is the phone number of the final recipient and it MUST be written 281 in international form with country code, unless the number only 282 works from inside a certain geographical area or a network. Note 283 that some numbers may work from several networks but not from the 284 whole world - these SHOULD be written in international form. 285 According to [RFC3601], all international numbers MUST begin with 286 a "+" character. Hyphens and dots are only to aid readability. 287 They MUST NOT have any other meaning. 289 2. The "smsc-qualifier" of the first "sms-recipient" is extracted, 290 if present. 292 3. The "pid-qualifier" of the first "sms-recipient" is extracted, if 293 present. 295 4. The "sms-body" is extracted, if present. 297 5. The user agent should provide some means for message composition, 298 either by implementing this itself, or by accessing a service 299 providing it. Message composition SHOULD start with the body 300 extracted from the "sms-body", if present. If the "pid- 301 qualifier" is set to "pid=SMTP:...", then the user agents must 302 make sure that the email address is correctly set (as defined by 303 the SMS specification [SMS]) in the message being composed. 305 6. After message composition, a user agent SHOULD try to send the 306 message first using the SMSC set in the "smsc-qualifier" (if 307 present). If that fails, the user agent MAY try another SMSC. 309 7. If the URI consists of a comma-separated list of recipients (ie, 310 contains multiple "sms-recipient" parts), all of them are 311 processed in this manner. Exactly the same message SHOULD be 312 sent to all of the listed recipients. 314 2.4 Examples of Use 316 sms:+41796431851 318 This indicates an SMS message capable recipient at the given 319 telephone number. The message is sent using the user agent's default 320 SMSC. 322 sms:+41796431851;smsc=+41794999000 324 This indicates that the SMS message should be sent using the SMSC at 325 the given number. 327 sms:+41796431851,+4116321035;pid=fax 329 This URI should result in two SMS messages being sent, one to the 330 recipient number as shown in the example above, the other one being 331 sent as a fax to the second number (the fax is sent by the SMSC 332 performing the gatewaying, not by the user agent). 334 sms:+41796431851;pid=smtp:erik.wilde@dret.net?body=hello%20there 336 In this case, a message (initially being set to "hello there", which 337 may have been modified by the user before sending) will be sent via 338 SMS using the SMS to email functionality in the SMSC, so that it will 339 eventually result in an email being sent to the specified email 340 address. In this case, the phone number will not be interpreted. 342 2.5 Using "sms" URIs in HTML Forms 344 When using a "sms" type URI as an action URI for HTML form submission 345 [HTML401], the form contents MUST be packaged in the SMS message just 346 as they are packaged when using a "mailto" URL [RFC2368], using the 347 "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" MIME type, effectively packaging 348 all form data into URI compliant syntax [RFC3986]. The SMS message 349 MUST NOT contain any HTTP headers, only the form data. The MIME type 350 is implicit. It MUST NOT be transferred in the SMS message. 352 The character encoding used for form submissions MUST be UTF-8 353 [RFC2279]. It should be noted, however, that user agents MUST 354 percent-encode form submissions before sending them. 356 The user agent SHOULD inform the user about the possible security 357 hazards involved when submitting the form (it is probably being sent 358 as plain text over an air interface). 360 If the form submission is longer than the maximum SMS message size, 361 the user agent MAY either concatenate SMS messages, if it is able to 362 do so, or it MAY refuse to send the message. The user agent MUST NOT 363 send out partial form submissions. 365 Form submission via an "sms" URI can be combined with Telematic 366 Interworking to result in form submissions being submitted via an SMS 367 message and finally being sent to an email account. In this case, 368 all provisions for using the email "pid-qualifier" and using "sms" 369 URIs with HTML forms must be followed. 371 3. "sms" URIs and SMS Web Services 373 In many cases, user agents will not be able to directly compose and 374 send SMS messages (because this requires that such a service is 375 accessible to the system the user agent is running on). However, it 376 is likely that the user has access to a Web service that provides an 377 SMS service, such as a Web site offering form-based SMS composition. 378 Ideally, the user agent should access this Web service when 379 activating an "sms" URI, thus enabling the user to use the Web 380 service. 382 One problem with this approach is that the Web service should somehow 383 get the "sms" URI, in order to interpret it and set the required 384 parameters (such as the receiver's phone number). The easiest way to 385 implement this is for the user agent to add the "sms" URI as query 386 string to the Web service's URI. Consequently, user agents 387 supporting SMS Web services identified by URIs SHOULD append the 388 "sms" URI as query string to the Web services URI when accessing the 389 Web service. Web services providing SMS composition facilities 390 SHOULD expect to receive an "sms" URI as query string and should 391 process it as described by this memo. This method only can be 392 applied for Web service URIs which permit query strings (such as 393 "http" and "https" URIs). For other Web service URIs (such as "ftp" 394 and "mailto"), user agents as well as Web services MUST NOT use the 395 query string. 397 It should be noted that RFC 3986 [RFC3986] defines that within query 398 strings, the "gen-delims" characters ":", "/", "?", "#", "[", "]", 399 and "@" are reserved. It is therefore necessary to encode the "sms" 400 URI accordingly before appending it as query string. 402 3.1 Example 404 A document contains this fragment of (X)HTML: 406 Send me an SMS! 408 The user agent interpreting this document does not internally support 409 SMS message composition or sending, but has been configured to access 410 a Web service for handling "sms" URIs. This Web service has the 411 following URI: 413 http://sms.example.com/sms-form 414 When the user activates the "sms" URI (eg, by clicking on the text 415 "Send me an SMS!"), the user agents sends a request to the SMS Web 416 service and acts as if the activated URI had been: 418 http://sms.example.com/sms-form?sms%3A+41796431851 420 The SMS Web service is then responsible for parsing the query string 421 and providing an approriate interface, for example by already filling 422 in the recipient address with the number provided by the "sms" URI. 423 This way, the non-SMS capable user agent and the SMS Web service can 424 interact to provide the best integration of Web browsing and SMS 425 sending to the user. 427 4. Security Considerations 429 The "Security Considerations" section of the SMS service registration 430 memo [draft-wilde-sms-service-10] MUST be consulted. 432 A user agent SHOULD NOT send out SMS messages without the knowledge 433 of the user, because of associated risks, which include sending 434 masses of SMS messages to a subscriber without his consent, and the 435 costs involved in sending an SMS message. 437 The user agent SHOULD have some mechanism that the user can use to 438 filter out unwanted destinations for SMS messages. The user agent 439 SHOULD also have some means of restricting the number of SMS messages 440 being sent as the result of activating one "sms" URI. 442 If an "sms" URI contains a pid-qualifier and the user agent supports 443 the qualifier and its value, then the user agent MUST set the SMS 444 message's PID as specified by the qualifier. User agents MAY inform 445 users about the value and the functional consequences of PID 446 qualifiers (eg, by notifying users that sending the SMS effectively 447 will result in a fax message being delivered, rather than an SMS 448 message). 450 The method described in section Section 3 adds another level of 451 indirection to the handling of "sms" URIs. If this method is 452 combined with the pid-qualifier gateway functionality, SMS 453 composition and reception will probably be distributed over three 454 different protocols (the Web service, SMS transport itself, and the 455 service selected by the pid-qualifier). User agents SHOULD make this 456 clear to users (either when the Web service is being configured, or 457 when it is accessed). 459 The Telematic Interworking functionality of the SMSC addressed by the 460 pid-qualifier is not necessarily implemented by the SMSC being used, 461 and SMSC providers are known for not or not correctly supporting some 462 or all pid-qualifier values. User agents SHOULD take into account 463 that the success rate of SMS messages being sent using pid-qualifiers 464 is lower than that of "plain" SMS messages. 466 As suggested functionality, the user agent MAY offer a possibility 467 for the user to filter out those gstn-phone numbers that are 468 expressed in local format, as most premium-rate numbers are expressed 469 in local format, and because determining the correct local context 470 (and hence the validity of the number to this specific user) may be 471 very difficult. 473 5. Change Log 475 This section will not be part of the final RFC text, it serves as a 476 container to collect the history of the individual draft versions. 478 5.1 From -09 to -10 480 o Added security consideration about filtering local format phone 481 numbers. 483 o Changed IPR clause from RFC 3667 to RFC 3978 (updated version of 484 RFC 3667). 486 5.2 From -08 to -09 488 o Fixed syntax error in hier-part and sms-recipient non-terminals, 489 which allowed sms-recipients to be concatenated without comma 490 separation. 492 5.3 From -07 to -08 494 o URIs are now defined by RFC 3986 [RFC3986], so the text (including 495 the syntax definitions) and the references have been updated. 497 5.4 From -06 to -07 499 o Changed IPR clause from RFC 2026 to RFC 3667 (updated version of 500 RFC 2026). 502 5.5 From -05 to -06 504 o Updated reference from draft-allocchio-gstn to RFC 3601. 506 5.6 From -04 to -05 508 o Updated reference to SMS spec to the version referenced in the SMS 509 service draft. 511 5.7 From -03 to -04 513 o Updated reference to draft-allocchio-gstn (to revision -05). 515 5.8 From -02 to -03 517 o Changed ordering of "change Log" section (descending to 518 ascending). 520 o Clarified the wording at the beginning of Section Section 2.2 521 about only the keywords of the scheme being case-insensitive. 523 o Changed "sms-body" to be a URI query string. 525 o Added some text describing "sms" URIs as addressing resources. 527 5.9 From -01 to -02 529 o Changed the sms-body field to percent-encoded UTF-8 characters. 531 5.10 From -00 to -01 533 o Added the "sms-body" field and its processing rules. 535 o Added Section Section 3 about using "sms" URIs as query strings 536 for SMS Web services. 538 o Fixed typo in ABNF (said "global-phone" instead of "gstn-phone"). 540 o Added some explanatory text about form submissions using email 541 Telematic Interworking. 543 o Added some text about character encoding in form submissions. 545 6.
