Title: Payment Protocol MIME types
Author: Gavin Andresen <gavinandresen@gmail.com>
Status: Draft
Type: Standards Track

==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
|-
| PaymentRequestACK || application/bitcoin-paymentrequestack
|}

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
Content-Length: number_of_bytes
</pre>
