Interface To The Web Server; Authentication - Snom 4S NAT Filter Version 2.11 Admin Manual

5.1 Interface to the Web Server

The interface to the web server is built upon http. The communi-
cation is a request/response protocol. The SBC requests information from
the application server, and the application server answers. The reverse
communication direction is neither possible not necessary.
All requests are formulated as GET requests. The parameters are
URL-encoded. The typical request has the form:
GET /post.htm?action=register&from=123@test.com HTTP/1.1
Host: test.com:8181
Accept-Language: en-us
Connection: Keep-Alive
Keep-Alive: 5
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; snom)
The responses contain the answer in the body. The SBC checks
the response code, and if the code is 2xx, it processes the attachment.
The attachment is encoded using a simple line-based protocol.
From: „Albert Einstein" <sip:albert@einstein>
To: „Isaac Newton" <sip:isaac@newton>
The name of the header is printed before a colon. It is not case
sensitive. The argument follows the colon. If there is white space before
or at the end, this white space is stripped. Therefore, the two headers are
equivalent:
From: „Albert Einstein" <sip:albert@einstein>
from:"Albert Einstein" <sip:albert@einstein>
Note that the white space inside the argument is not changed.
The SBC uses only http (TCP), a secure transport layer is not
supported. Also, UDP or other transport layers are not supported. The
current version opens a new TCP connection for every request. This may
be optimized in future versions.

5.2 Authentication

If the Http URL for registration is set in the system settings, the
SBC performs the following algorithm for every request:
