HTTP Messages

A specification for exchanging data using remote HTTP messages on a trusted server

Overview

Enables a local client to make and receive http requests from a remote computer. Requires:

• A trusted machine to process the messages (can be a home PC or Raspberry Pi)
• A relay (can be untrusted)
• A blossom server (can be untrusted)

Architecture

Event Structure

{
  "kind": 1120,
  "pubkey": "<pubkey>",
  "content": "nip44Encrypt({'url':'blossom.one','decrypt':'password123'})",
  "tags": [
    ["x", "<hash of encrypted message blob>"] 
    ["E", "<request event id>"], // (RES) Request ID (mandatory)
    ["r", "https://relay.one"] // (REQ) Response Relay (optional)
  ],
  // other fields...
}

Explanations:

• kind:1120 - BIP39 word #1120 (message).
• "content" - encrypted (NIP-44) JSON with location of blob and decryption key
• "x" - Blossom file hash of the encrypted request or response
• "E" - ID of the request event. Enables a response to be easily identified.
• "r" - (optional) relay on which the response should be sent. For Requests only.
