XCAP module

The module contains several parameters and functions common to all modules using XCAP capabilities.

The module is currently used by the following modules: presence_xml, rls and xcap_client.

The following modules must be loaded before this module:

  • a database module.

The following libraries or applications must be installed before running OpenSIPS with this module loaded:

  • libxml-dev.

The database url.

Default value is “mysql://opensips:opensipsrw@localhost/opensips”.

Set db_url parameter
...
modparam("xcap", "db_url", "dbdriver://username:password@dbhost/dbname")
...

The name of the db table where XCAP documents are stored.

Default value is “xcap”.

Set xcap_table parameter
...
modparam("xcap", "xcap_table", "xcap")
...

This parameter is a flag for the type of XCAP server or servers used. If integrated ones, like OpenXCAP from AG Projects, with direct access to database table, the parameter should be set to a positive value. Apart from updating in xcap table, the integrated server must send an MI command refershWatchers [pres_uri] [event] when a user modifies a rules document.

Default value is “0”.

Set integrated_xcap_server parameter
...
modparam("xcap", "integrated_xcap_server", 1)
...

None to be used in configuration file.

The module exports a number of parameters and functions that are used in several other modules.

This function allows binding the needed functions.

xcap_api structure
...
typedef struct xcap_api {
int integrated_server;
str db_url;
str xcap_table;
normalize_sip_uri_t normalize_sip_uri;
parse_xcap_uri_t parse_xcap_uri;
get_xcap_doc_t get_xcap_doc;
} xcap_api_t;
...

This function normalizes a SIP URI found in a XCAP document. It un-escapes it and adds the SIP scheme in case it was missing. Returns a statically allocated string buffer containing the normalized form.

Parameters:

  • uri- the URI that needs to be normalized

This function parses the given XCAP URI.

Parameters:

  • uri- the URI that needs to be parsed in string format
  • xcap_uri- xcap_uri_t structure that will be filled with the parsed information
    Parameter type:
    ...
    typedef struct {
    char buf[MAX_URI_SIZE];
    str uri;
    str root;
    str auid;
    str tree;
    str xui;
    str filename;
    str selector;
    } xcap_uri_t;
    ...

This function queries the local DB for the required XCAP document. It will return the document and its corresponding etag.

Parameters:

  • user- user part od the URI of the document owner
  • domain- domain part od the URI of the document owner
  • type- type of the requested document, represents the AUID, can be one of PRES_RULES, RESOURCE_LISTS, RLS_SERVICES, PIDF_MANIPULATION, OMA_PRES_RULES
  • filename- if specified it will be used to match the document filename, it defaults to ‘index’
  • match_etag- if specified the document is only returned its etag matches this one
  • doc- reference to the storage for the returned document
  • etag- reference to the storage for the returned document’s etag

URL of the database to which the XCAP mdoules witll connect.

Name of the table used to store XCAP documents. Defaults to ‘xcap’.

Boolean flag indicating if the XCAP server has access to the local database or xcap_client will be used to fetch documents.
