<h2>Server API Reference</h2>
<p>
KalSMS communicates with the server via HTTP POST requests that expect an XML response.
</p>
<p>
For convenience, KalSMS includes <a href='https://github.com/youngj/KalSMS/tree/master/server'>server libraries and example code</a>
for certain languages to simplify handling its POST requests and generating response XML.
</p>
<p>
If a server library is not yet available for your programming language, you can still use
KalSMS by implementing code in accordance with the API reference below.
We encourage you to contribute new libraries and example code back to the KalSMS project!
</p>
<h3>
HTTP Request Format
</h3>
<h4>Example requests</h4>
<p>
In each of the example requests below, the Server URL is <code style='white-space:nowrap'>http://192.168.70.1:3000/sg/kalsms</code>
and the phone number of the phone with KalSMS is <code>16505551212</code>.
</p>
<p>An incoming SMS from <code>6505551234</code> with message body "test":</p>
<pre>
POST /sg/kalsms HTTP/1.1
X-Kalsms-Signature: sAemG31uRllk/K9xck2WRNaF/WI=
Content-Length: 96
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Host: 192.168.70.1:3000
Connection: Keep-Alive
from=6505551234&message_type=sms&message=test&version=2&phone_number=16505551212&action=incoming
</pre>
<p>An incoming MMS message:</p>
<pre>
TODO
</pre>
<p>Checking for outgoing SMS messages:</p>
<pre>
POST /sg/kalsms HTTP/1.1
X-Kalsms-Signature: 139CL71b7r1Zw/E2wcccWFviSlg=
Content-Length: 50
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Host: 192.168.70.1:3000
Connection: Keep-Alive
action=outgoing&version=2&phone_number=16505551212
</pre>
<p>Notifying the server of the status of a sent message:</p>
<pre>
POST /sg/kalsms HTTP/1.1
X-Kalsms-Signature: 6uJtI6+QqlVBbUsR4T0WsQomods=
Content-Length: 80
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Host: 192.168.70.1:3000
Connection: Keep-Alive
id=1536&status=sent&error=&action=send_status&version=2&phone_number=16505551212
</pre>
<h4>Specification</h4>
<p>
The following parameters are sent in all POST requests from KalSMS:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>"version" ::= &lt;integer&gt;</dt>
<dd>
KalSMS's version code. This is an integer that will be incremented whenever
a new version of KalSMS is released. (It is not the same as the version name shown
on the Help screen.)
<br />
<br />
This allows the server to support phones running different API versions at the same time.
If a deployment has many phones running with KalSMS, the server should update its code first,
then the phones can be upgraded to the new version of KalSMS as convenient.
</dd>
<dt>"phone_number" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The phone number of the phone running KalSMS, as entered under Menu &gt; Settings.
<br /><br />
This allows the server to differentiate between KalSMS clients if multiple phones
are running KalSMS.
</dd>
<dt>"action" ::= "outgoing" | "incoming" | "send_status"</dt>
<dd>
The request action determines the purpose of the HTTP request:
<dl>
<dt>"outgoing":</dt>
<dd>
Poll the server for outgoing messages
</dd>
<dt>"incoming":</dt>
<dd>
Forward an incoming SMS or MMS message to the server
</dd>
<dt>"send_status":</dt>
<dd>
Update the server on the status of sending an outgoing message
</dd>
</dl>
The other POST parameters sent depend on the request action.
</dd>
</dl>
The following HTTP Headers are sent in all POST requests from KalSMS:
<dl>
<dt>"X-Kalsms-Signature" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
A signature of the request to verify the phone and the server share the same password.
(This doesn't protect against MITM snooping or replay attacks, so it is recommended to
use the <code>https://</code> protocol.)
<br />
<br />
The signature is calculated by the following algorithm:
<ol>
<li>Sort all POST parameters, not including file uploads,
by the name of the field (in the usual ASCII order).</li>
<li>Generate an input string by concatenating:
<ul>
<li>the server URL,</li>
<li>each of the sorted POST parameters with their corresponding values, and</li>
<li>the password,</li>
</ul>
with a comma in between each element, like so:
<br />
<code>"&lt;serverURL&gt;,&lt;name1&gt;,&lt;value1&gt;,&lt;...&gt;,&lt;nameN&gt;,&lt;valueN&gt;,&lt;password&gt;"</code>
</li>
<li>Generate the SHA-1 hash of the input string in UTF-8</li>
<li>Encode the SHA-1 hash using Base64 with no line breaks.</li>
</ol>
</dd>
</dl>
Additional parameters sent in POST requests with action=incoming:
<dl>
<dt>"from" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The phone number of the message sender.
</dd>
<dt>"message_type" ::= "sms" | "mms"</dt>
<dd>
Whether this message is an SMS or MMS.
</dd>
<dt>"message" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The message body of the SMS, or the content of the <code>text/plain</code> part of the MMS.
</dd>
</dl>
Additional parameters sent in POST requests with action=incoming and message_type=mms:
<dl>
<dt>"mms_parts" ::= &lt;json_array&gt;</dt>
<dd>
Metadata for each part of the MMS. Each item in the JSON array is an object
with the following keys and values:
<dl>
<dt>"name" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The name of an additional form field where the content of the MMS part
is sent as an attached file.
</dd>
<dt>"cid" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The Content ID of the MMS part. This allows the server to resolve
references in the SMIL part of the MMS
(e.g. <code>&lt;img region="Image" src="cid:805"/&gt;</code>).
</dt>
<dt>"type" ::= "application/smil" | "text/plain" | "image/jpeg" | ...</dt>
<dd>
The Content Type of the MMS part.
</dd>
<dt>"filename" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The filename of the MMS part, as sent by the sender phone,
e.g. <code>"Image001.jpg"</code>.
</dt>
</dl>
(Additional fields with the content of each MMS part. Text parts
are encoded in UTF-8.)
</dt>
</dl>
Additional parameters sent in POST requests with action=outgoing:
<dl>
<dt>
(None)
</dt>
</dl>
Additional parameters sent in POST requests with action=send_status:
<dl>
<dt>"id" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The Server's ID for the outgoing message (from the <code>id</code> attribute
of an <a href='#sms'>sms</a> tag in a previous XML response from the server).
</dd>
<dt>"status" ::= "queued" | "failed" | "sent"</dt>
<dd>
The current status of the outgoing message.
</dd>
<dt>"error" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
A description of the reason for the error, if the message
failed to send; or, an empty string if the message
has been sent successfully.
</dd>
</dl>
<h3>
HTTP Response Format
</h4>
<p>
For a successul request, the server should return HTTP status code 200.
If the signature check failed, the server should return status code 403.
Other status codes may be used to signify errors.
</p>
<h4>HTTP response for action=incoming and action=outgoing</h4>
Example:
<pre>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 189
&lt;?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?&gt;
&lt;messages&gt;

&lt;sms id='1541' to='16505551214'&gt;This is a another test message.&lt;/sms&gt;
&lt;/messages&gt;
</pre>
Specification:
<p>
The Content-Type header should be text/xml, with the content as follows:
