Package iaik.tsp.transport.http Description

This package contains the implementation classes of the HTTP based protocol defined in RFC 3161.

Excerpt from RFC 3161:

3.4. Time-Stamp Protocol via HTTP

This subsection specifies a means for conveying ASN.1-encoded
messages for the protocol exchanges described in Section 2 and
Appendix D via the HyperText Transfer Protocol.

Two MIME objects are specified as follows.

Content-Type: application/timestamp-query

<<the ASN.1 DER-encoded Time-Stamp Request message>>

Content-Type: application/timestamp-reply

<<the ASN.1 DER-encoded Time-Stamp Response message>>

These MIME objects can be sent and received using common HTTP
processing engines over WWW links and provides a simple browser-
server transport for Time-Stamp messages.

Upon receiving a valid request, the server MUST respond with either a
valid response with content type application/timestamp-reply or
with an HTTP error.
