Mitel 6867i Administrator's Manual page 541

Users can access XML applications via softkeys configured on the IP phones. The phone
performs an HTTP GET on the URI configured in the Mitel Web UI or configuration files.
You configure the following parameters for object requests:
• xml application URI
• xml application title
The xml application URI is the application you are loading into the IP phone.
The xml application title is the name of the XML application that displays on the Services menu
in the IP Phone UI (as option #4).
XML GET TIMEOUT
The IP phone has a parameter called, "xml get timeout" that allows you to specify a timeout
value, in seconds, that the phone waits for the far side to return a response after accepting the
HTTP GET connection. If the far side accepts the GET connection but never returns a response,
it blocks the phone until it is rebooted. If you enter a value greater than 0 for this parameter,
the phone times out and will not be blocked.
For more information about configuring this parameter, see Appendix A, the section,
Settings" on page 162.
XML Push Requests
In addition to initiating a request to an XML application from a softkey, an HTTP server can
push an XML object to the phone via HTTP Post. When the phone sees a PUSH request
containing an XML object, it tries to authenticate the request. It does so by checking the IP
address or host name of the requesting host against a list of trusted hosts (or domain names)
configured via the Mitel Web UI (parameter called XML Push Server List) or the configuration
files (parameter called xml application post list). If the request is authenticated, the XML
object is handled by the IP phone accordingly, and displays the information to the screen.
Note: The HTTP Post must contain HTTP packets that have an "xml" line in the message
body. For more information about adding "xml" lines in HTTP packets, see the XML
Developer's Guide.
Example Configuration of XML Application
The following example shows the parameters you enter in the configuration files to configure
an XML application:
xml application URI: http://172.16.96.63/mitel/internet.php
xml application title: Mitel
xml application post list: 10.50.10.53, dhcp10-53.ana.mitel.com
CONFIGURING FOR XML ON THE IP PHONE
After creating an XML application, an administrator can configure the IP phone to use the
application using the configuration files or the Mitel Web UI.
