BIP: 71
Title: Payment Protocol MIME types
Author: Gavin Andresen <gavinandresen@gmail.com>
Status: Draft
Type: Standards Track
Created: 29-07-2013
</pre>
==Abstract==
This BIP defines a MIME (RFC 2046) Media Type for Bitcoin payment
request messages.
==Motivation==
Wallet or server software that sends payment protocol messages over
email or http should follow Internet standards for properly
encapsulating the messages.
==Specification==
The Media Type (Content-Type in HTML/email headers) for bitcoin
protocol messages shall be:
{|
| Message || Type/Subtype
|-
| PaymentRequest || application/bitcoin-paymentrequest
|-
| Payment || application/bitcoin-payment
|-
| PaymentACK || application/bitcoin-paymentack
|}
Payment protocol messages are encoded in binary.
==Example==
A web server generating a PaymentRequest message to initiate the
payment protocol would precede the binary message data with the
following headers:
<pre>
Content-Type: application/bitcoin-paymentrequest
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
</pre>
