Abstract
This document is a product of the Internet Printing Protocol Working
Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Comments should
be submitted to the ipp@pwg.org mailing list.
This document is intended for use in registering the "ipp" URL scheme
with IANA and fully conforms to the requirements in [RFC-2717]. This
document defines the "ipp" URL (Uniform Resource Locator) scheme for
specifying the location of an IPP Printer, IPP Job, or other IPP
object (defined in some future version of IPP) which implements the
IPP/1.1 Model [RFC-2911] and the IPP/1.1 Protocol encoding over HTTP
[RFC-2910] or any later version of IPP. The intended usage of the
"ipp" URL scheme is COMMON.
The IPP URL scheme defined in this document is based on the ABNF for
the HTTP URL scheme defined in HTTP/1.1 [RFC-2616], which is derived
from the URI Generic Syntax [RFC-2396] and further updated by
[RFC-2732] and [RFC-2373] (for IPv6 addresses in URLs). An IPP URL
is transformed into an HTTP URL according to the rules specified in
section 5 of the IPP/1.1 Protocol [RFC-2910].

the IPP document set and overview information about IPP.
The open issues in this document each begin 'ISSUE_n:'.
This document is a product of the Internet Printing Protocol Working
Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Comments should
be submitted to the ipp@pwg.org mailing list.
This document is intended for use in registering the "ipp" URL scheme
with IANA and fully conforms to the requirements in [RFC-2717]. This
document defines the "ipp" URL (Uniform Resource Locator) scheme for
specifying the location of an IPP Printer, IPP Job, or other IPP
object (defined in some future version of IPP) which implements the
IPP/1.1 Model [RFC-2911] and the IPP/1.1 Protocol encoding over HTTP
[RFC-2910] or any later version of IPP. The intended usage of the
"ipp" URL scheme is COMMON.
This document defines:
- IPP URL scheme applicability and intended usage;
- IPP URL scheme associated port (i.e., well-known port 631);
- IPP URL scheme associated MIME type (i.e., "application/ipp");
- IPP URL scheme syntax in ABNF [RFC-2234];
- IPP URL scheme character encoding;
- IPP URL scheme IANA, internationalization, and security
considerations.
This document is laid out as follows:
- Section 2 is the terminology used throughout the document.
- Section 3 provides references to the IPP Printer and IPP Job object
model.
- Section 4 specifies IPP URL scheme.
- Section 5 specifies the conformance requirements for IPP Clients
and IPP Printers that claim conformance to this document.
- Section 6, 7, and 8 specify IANA, internationalization, and
security considerations.
- Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 list references, acknowledgements,
authors' addresses, change history, and full IETF copyright
statement.

2. Terminology
This specification document uses the terminology defined in this
section.
2.1. Conformance Terminology
The uppercase terms "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].
These terms are used to specify conformance requirements for all
implementations of this specification.
2.2. Model Terminology
See section 12.2 'Model Terminology' in [RFC-2911].
3. IPP Model for Printers and Jobs
See section 2 'IPP Objects', section 2.1 'Printer Object', and
section 2.2 'Job Object' in [RFC-2911] 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 print jobs via
IPP/1.1 [RFC-2910] [RFC-2911], or any later version of IPP to a
spooler, gateway, or actual printing device.
In this document, "IPP Printer object" means the software (on some
hardware platform) that receives print jobs and/or printer/job
operations via IPP/1.1 [RFC-2910] [RFC-2911], or any later version of
IPP 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 print job on an "IPP Printer".
In this document, "IPP Job" is a synonym for "IPP Job object".
In this document, "IPP URL" means a URL with the "ipp" scheme.
Note: In this document, "IPP URL" is a synonym for "ipp_URL" (in
section 4 'IPP URL Scheme' of this document) and "ipp-URL" (in

4. IPP URL Scheme
4.1. IPP URL Scheme Applicability and Intended Usage
This document is intended for use in registering the "ipp" URL scheme
with IANA and fully conforms to the requirements in [RFC-2717]. This
document defines the "ipp" URL (Uniform Resource Locator) scheme for
specifying the location of an IPP Printer, IPP Job, or other IPP
object (defined in some future version of IPP) which implements the
IPP/1.1 Model [RFC-2911] and the IPP/1.1 Protocol encoding over HTTP
[RFC-2910] or any later version of IPP. The intended usage of the
"ipp" URL scheme is COMMON.
4.2. IPP URL Scheme Associated IPP Port
All IPP URLs which do NOT explicitly specify a port MUST be used over
IANA-assigned well-known port 631 for the IPP protocol described in
[RFC-2910].
See: IANA Port Numbers Registry [IANA-PORTREG]. registration with
IANA.
4.3. IPP URL Scheme Associated MIME Type
All IPP protocol operations (requests and responses) MUST be conveyed
in an "application/ipp" MIME media type as registered in
[IANA-MIMEREG]. IPP URLs MUST refer to IPP Printers which support
this "application/ipp" MIME media type.
See: IANA MIME Media Types Registry [IANA-MIMEREG].
4.4. IPP URL Scheme Character Encoding
The IPP URL scheme defined in this document is based on the ABNF for
the HTTP URL scheme defined in HTTP/1.1 [RFC-2616], which is derived
from the URI Generic Syntax [RFC-2396] and further updated by
[RFC-2732] and [RFC-2373] (for IPv6 addresses in URLs). The IPP URL
scheme is case-insensitive in the host name or host address part;
however the path part is case-sensitive, as in [RFC-2396].
Codepoints outside [US-ASCII] MUST be hex escaped by the mechanism
specified in [RFC-2396].
Herriot, McDonald Expires 13 August 2001 [Page 6]
Internet Draft IPP URL Scheme 13 February 2001
4.5. IPP URL Scheme Syntax in ABNF
Note: In this document, "IPP URL" is a synonym for "ipp_URL" (in
section 4 'IPP URL Scheme' of this document) and "ipp-URL" (in
section 5 'IPP URL Scheme' of [RFC-2910]).
This document is intended for use in registering the "ipp" URL scheme
with IANA and fully conforms to the requirements in [RFC-2717]. This
document defines the "ipp" URL (Uniform Resource Locator) scheme for
specifying the location of an IPP Printer, IPP Job, or other IPP
object (defined in some future version of IPP) which implements the
IPP/1.1 Model [RFC-2911] and the IPP/1.1 Protocol encoding over HTTP
[RFC-2910] or any later version of IPP. The intended usage of the
"ipp" URL scheme is COMMON.
The IPP protocol places a limit of 1023 octets (NOT characters) on
the length of a URI (see section 4.1.5 'uri' in [RFC-2911]). An IPP
Printer MUST return 'client-error-request-value-too-long' (see
section 13.1.4.10 in [RFC-2911]) when a URI received in a request
(e.g., in the "printer-uri" attribute) is too long.
Note: IPP Printers ought to be cautious about depending on URI
lengths above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy
implementations might not properly support these lengths.
IPP URLs MUST be represented in absolute form. Absolute URLs always
begin with a scheme name followed by a colon. For definitive
information on URL syntax and semantics, see "Uniform Resource
Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax and Semantics" [RFC-2396]. This
specification adopts the definitions of "URI-reference",
"absoluteURI", "relativeURI", "port", "host","abs_path", "rel_path",
and "authority" from [RFC-2396], as updated by [RFC-2732] and
[RFC-2373] (for IPv6 addresses in URLs).
The IPP URL scheme syntax in ABNF is as follows:
ipp_URL = "ipp:" "//" host [ ":" port ] [ abs_path [ "?" query ]]
If the port is empty or not given, port 631 is assumed. The
semantics are that the identified resource (see section 5.1.2 of
[RFC-2616]) is located at the IPP Printer or IPP Job listening for
HTTP connections on that port of that host, and the Request-URI for
the identified resource is 'abs_path'.
Note: The use of IP addresses in URLs SHOULD be avoided whenever
possible (see [RFC-1900]).
If the 'abs_path' is not present in the URL, it MUST be given as "/"
Herriot, McDonald Expires 13 August 2001 [Page 7]
Internet Draft IPP URL Scheme 13 February 2001
when used as a Request-URI for a resource (see section 5.1.2 of
[RFC-2616]). If a proxy receives a host name which is not a fully
qualified domain name, it MAY add its domain to the host name it
received. If a proxy receives a fully qualified domain name, the
proxy MUST NOT change the host name.
4.5.1. IPP URL Examples
The following are examples of valid IPP URLs for IPP Printers:
ipp://abc.com
ipp://abc.com/printer
ipp://abc.com/tiger
ipp://abc.com/printers/tiger
ipp://abc.com/printers/fox
ipp://abc.com/printers/tiger/bob
ipp://abc.com/printers/tiger/ira
ipp://printer.abc.com
ipp://printers.abc.com/tiger
ipp://printers.abc.com/tiger/bob
ipp://printers.abc.com/tiger/ira
Each of the above URLs are legitimate URLs for IPP Printers and each
references a logically different IPP Printer, even though some of the
IPP Printers may share the same hardware. The last part of the path
'bob' or 'ira' may represent two different hardware devices where
'tiger' represents some grouping of IPP Printers (e.g., a
load-balancing spooler) or the two names may represent separate human
recipients ('bob' and 'ira') on the same hardware device (e.g., a
printer supporting two job queues). In either case both 'bob' and
'ira' behave as different IPP Printers.
The following are examples of IPP URLs with (optional) ports and
paths:
ipp://abc.com
ipp://abc.com/~smith/printer
ipp://abc.com:631/~smith/printer
The first and second IPP URLs above MUST be resolved to port 631
(IANA assigned well-known port for IPP). The second and third IPP
URLs above are equivalent (see section 4.5.2 below).
Note: The use of IP addresses in URLs SHOULD be avoided whenever
possible (see [RFC-1900]).
The following literal IPv4 addresses:
Herriot, McDonald Expires 13 August 2001 [Page 8]
Internet Draft IPP URL Scheme 13 February 2001
192.9.5.5 ; IPv4 address in IPv4 style
186.7.8.9 ; IPv4 address in IPv4 style
are represented in the following example IPP URLs:
ipp://192.9.5.5/prt1
ipp://186.7.8.9/printers/tiger/bob
The following literal IPv6 addresses (conformant to [RFC-2373]):
::192.9.5.5 ; IPv4 address in IPv6 style
::FFFF:129.144.52.38 ; IPv4 address in IPv6 style
2010:836B:4179::836B:4179 ; IPv6 address per RFC 2373
are represented in the following example IPP URLs:
ipp://[::192.9.5.5]/prt1
ipp://[::FFFF:129.144.52.38]:631/printers/tiger
ipp://[2010:836B:4179::836B:4179]/printers/tiger/bob
4.5.2. IPP URL Comparisons
When comparing two IPP URLs to decide if they match or not, an IPP
Client SHOULD use a case-sensitive octet-by-octet comparison of the
entire URLs, with these exceptions:
- A port that is empty or not given is equivalent to the well-known
port for that IPP URL (port 631);
- Comparisons of host names MUST be case-insensitive;
- Comparisons of scheme names MUST be case-insensitive;
- An empty 'abs_path' is equivalent to an 'abs_path' of "/".
Characters other than those in the "reserved" and "unsafe" sets (see
[RFC-2396] and [RFC-2732]) are equivalent to their ""%" HEX HEX"
encoding.
For example, the following three URIs are equivalent:
ipp://abc.com:631/~smith/printer
ipp://ABC.com/%7Esmith/printer
ipp://ABC.com:/%7esmith/printer

5. Conformance Requirements
5.1. Conformance Requirements for IPP Clients
IPP Clients that conform to this specification:
a) MUST send IPP URLs (e.g., in the "printer-uri" operation attribute
in 'Print-Job') that conform to the ABNF specified in section 4.5

IPP Printers that conform to this specification:
a) SHOULD reject received IPP URLs in "application/ipp" request
bodies (e.g., in the "printer-uri" attribute in a 'Print-Job'
request) that do not conform to the ABNF for IPP URLs specified in
section 4.5 of this document;
b) SHOULD return IPP URLs in "application/ipp" response bodies (e.g.,
in the "job-uri" attribute in a 'Print-Job' response) that do
conform to the ABNF for IPP URLs specified in section 4.5 of this
document;
c) MUST listen for IPP operations on IANA-assigned well-known port
631, unless explicitly configured by system administrators or site
policies;
d) SHOULD NOT listen for IPP operations on any other port, unless
explicitly configured by system administrators or site policies;
e) SHOULD interoperate with IPP/1.0 Clients according to the rules in
section 9 'Interoperability with IPP/1.0 Implementations' and
section 9.2 'Security and URL Schemes' in [RFC-2910].

systems according to section 9 'Interoperability with IPP/1.0
Implementations' in [RFC-2910], per request of Carl Kugler;
- revised section 5.2 'Conformance Requirements for IPP Printers' to
clarify that an IPP Printer MUST listen on (IANA assigned
well-known) port 631, unless explicitly configured, per request of
Michael Sweet;
- revised section 5.2 'Conformance Requirements for IPP Printers' to
clarify that an IPP Printer SHOULD NOT listen on ports other than
(IANA assigned well-known) port 631, unless explicitly configured,
per request of Don Wright;
- revised section 6 'IANA Considerations' to clarify that the sole
purpose of the entire document is IANA registration of the "ipp"
URL scheme;
- deleted Appendix A 'Registration of IPP Port' as unnecessary (port
is already registered);
- deleted Appendix B 'Registration of MIME "application/ipp" as
unnecessary (MIME registry has recently caught up to RFC 2910);
11 January 2001 - draft-ietf-ipp-url-scheme-00.txt
- initial version - simple "ipp" URL scheme without parameters or
query part (consistent with existing and IPP/1.1 implementations);
- added Appendix A 'Registration of IPP Port' (placeholder) for
updated IANA registration of port 631 with references to IPP/1.1;
- added Appendix B 'Registration of MIME "application/ipp"' with
updated IANA registration for IPP MIME type with references to both
IPP/1.0 and IPP/1.1;
