SIP SIMPLE Client SDK

= Middleware API =

[[TOC(SipMiddlewareApi, SipConfigurationAPI, depth=3)]]

This chapter describes the event driven ''Middleware API'' for SIP SIMPLE client SDK that can be used for developing a user interface (e.g. Graphical User Interface). For its configuration, the Middleware uses the [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI Configuration API].

== SIPApplication ==

Implemented in [browser:sipsimple/application.py]

Implements a high-level application responsable for starting and stopping various sub-systems required to implement a fully featured SIP User Agent application. The SIPApplication class is a Singleton and can be instantiated from any part of the code, obtaining a reference to the same object. The SIPApplication takes care of initializing the following components:

 * the twisted thread

 * the configuration system, via the [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI#ConfigurationManager ConfigurationManager].

 * the core [wiki:SipCoreApiDocumentation#Engine Engine] using the settings in the configuration

 * the [wiki:SipMiddlewareApi#AccountManager AccountManager], using the accounts in the configuration

 * the [wiki:SipMiddlewareApi#SessionManager SessionManager], in order to handle incoming sessions

 * two [wiki:SipMiddlewareApi#AudioBridge AudioBridges], using the settings in the configuration

The attributes in this class can be set and accessed on both this class and its subclasses, as they are implemented using descriptors which keep single value for each attribute, irrespective of the class from which that attribute is set/accessed. Usually, all attributes should be considered read-only.

=== Methods  ===

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'')::

  Instantiates a new SIPApplication.

 '''start'''(''self'', '''config_backend''')::

  Starts the {{{SIPApplication}}} which initializes all the components in the correct order. The {{{config_backend}}} is used to start the {{{ConfigurationManager}}}. If any error occurs with loading the configuration, the exception raised by the {{{ConfigurationManager}}} is propagated by this method and {{{SIPApplication}}} can be started again. After this, any fatal errors will result in the SIPApplication being stopped and unusable, which means the whole application will need to stop. This method returns as soon as the twisted thread has been started, which means the application must wait for the {{{SIPApplicationDidStart}}} notification in order to know that the application started.

 '''stop'''(''self'')::

  Stop all the components started by the SIPApplication. This method returns immediately, but a {{{SIPApplicationDidEnd}}} notification is sent when all the components have been stopped.

=== Attributes ===

 '''running'''::

  {{{True}}} if the SIPApplication is running (it has been started and it has not been told to stop), {{{False}}} otherwise.

 '''alert_audio_mixer'''::

  The {{{AudioMixer}}} object created on the alert audio device as defined by the configuration (by SIPSimpleSettings.audio.alert_device).

 '''alert_audio_bridge'''::

  An {{{AudioBridge}}} where {{{IAudioPort}}} objects can be added to playback sound to the alert device.

 '''alert_audio_device'''::

  An {{{AudioDevice}}} which corresponds to the alert device as defined by the configuration. This will always be part of the alert_audio_bridge.

 '''voice_audio_mixer'''::

  The {{{AudioMixer}}} object created on the voice audio device as defined by the configuration (by SIPSimpleSettings.audio.input_device and SIPSimpleSettings.audio.output_device).

 '''voice_audio_bridge'''::

  An {{{AudioBridge}}} where {{{IAudioPort}}} objects can be added to playback sound to the output device or record sound from the input device.

 '''voice_audio_device'''::

  An {{{AudioDevice}}} which corresponds to the voice device as defined by the configuration. This will always be part of the voice_audio_bridge.

=== Notifications  ===

 '''SIPApplicationWillStart'''::

  This notification is sent just after the configuration has been loaded and the twisted thread started, but before any other components have been initialized.

  [[BR]]timestamp:[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

 '''SIPApplicationDidStart'''::

  This notification is sent when all the components have been initialized. Note: it doesn't mean that all components have succeeded, for example, the account might not have registered by this time, but the registration process will have started.

  [[BR]]timestamp:[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

 '''SIPApplicationWillEnd'''::

  This notification is sent as soon as the {{{stop()}}} method has been called.

  [[BR]]timestamp:[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

 '''SIPApplicationDidEnd'''::

  This notification is sent when all the components have been stopped. All components have been given reasonable time to shutdown gracefully, such as the account unregistering. However, because of factors outside the control of the middleware, such as network problems, some components might not have actually shutdown gracefully; this is needed because otherwise the SIPApplication could hang indefinitely (for example because the system is no longer connected to a network and it cannot be determined when it will be again).

  [[BR]]timestamp:[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

 '''SIPApplicationFailedToStartTLS'''::

  This notification is sent when a problem arises with initializing the TLS transport. In this case, the Engine will be started without TLS support and this notification contains the error which identifies the cause for not being able to start the TLS transport.

  [[BR]]timestamp:[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]error:[[BR]]

  The exception raised by the Engine which identifies the cause for not being able to start the TLS transport.

== SIP Sessions ==

SIP sessions are supported by the {{{sipsimple.session.Session}}} class and independent stream classes, which need to implement the {{{sipsimple.streams.IMediaStream}}} interface. The {{{Session}}} class takes care of the signalling, while the streams offer the actual media support which is negotiated by the {{{Session}}}. The streams which are implemented in the SIP SIMPLE middleware are provided in modules within the {{{sipsimple.streams}}} package, but they are accessible for import directly from {{{sipsimple.streams}}}. Currently, the middleware implements two types of streams, one for RTP data, with a concrete implementation in the {{{AudioStream}}} class, and one for MSRP sessions, with concrete implementations in the {{{ChatStream}}}, {{{FileTransferStream}}} and {{{DesktopSharingStream}}} classes. However, the application can provide its own stream implementation, provided they respect the {{{IMediaStream}}} interface.

The {{{sipsimple.streams}}} module also provides a mechanism for automatically registering media streams in order for them to be used for incoming sessions. This is explained in more detail in [wiki:SipMiddlewareApi#MediaStreamRegistry MediaStreamRegistry].

=== Session ===

Implemented in [browser:sipsimple/session.py]

A {{{sipsimple.session.Session}}} object represents a complete SIP session between the local and a remote endpoints. Both incoming and outgoing sessions are represented by this class.

A {{{Session}}} instance is a stateful object, meaning that it has a {{{state}}} attribute and that the lifetime of the session traverses different states, from session creation to termination.

State changes are triggered by methods called on the object by the application or by received network events.

These states and their transitions are represented in the following diagram:

Although these states are crucial to the correct operation of the {{{Session}}} object, an application using this object does not need to keep track of these states, as a set of notifications is also emitted, which provide all the necessary information to the application.

The {{{Session}}} is completely independent of the streams it contains, which need to be implementations of the {{{sipsimple.streams.IMediaStream}}} interface. This interface provides the API by which the {{{Session}}} communicates with the streams. This API should not be used by the application, unless it also provides stream implementations or a SIP INVITE session implementation.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''account''')::

  Creates a new {{{Session}}} object in the {{{None}}} state.

  [[BR]]''account'':[[BR]]

  The local account to be associated with this {{{Session}}}.

 '''connect'''(''self'', '''to_header''', '''routes''', '''streams''')::

  Will set up the {{{Session}}} as outbound and propose the new session to the specified remote party and move the state machine to the {{{outgoing}}} state.

  Before contacting the remote party, a {{{SIPSessionNewOutgoing}}} notification will be emitted.

  If there is a failure or the remote party rejected the offer, a {{{SIPSessionDidFail}}} notification will be sent.

  Any time a ringing indication is received from the remote party, a {{{SIPSessionGotRingIndication}}} notification is sent.

  If the remote party accepted the session, a {{{SIPSessionWillStart}}} notification will be sent, followed by a {{{SIPSessionDidStart}}} notification when the session is actually established.

  This method may only be called while in the {{{None}}} state.

  [[BR]]''to_header'':[[BR]]

  A {{{sipsimple.core.ToHeader}}} object representing the remote identity to initiate the session to.

  [[BR]]''routes'':[[BR]]

  An iterable of {{{sipsimple.util.Route}}} objects, specifying the IP, port and transport to the outbound proxy.

  These routes will be tried in order, until one of them succeeds.

  [[BR]]''streams'':[[BR]]

  A list of stream objects which will be offered to the remote endpoint.

 '''send_ring_indication'''(''self'')::

  Sends a 180 provisional response in the case of an incoming session.

 '''accept'''(''self'', '''streams''')::

  Calling this methods will accept an incoming session and move the state machine to the {{{accepting}}} state.

  When there is a new incoming session, a {{{SIPSessionNewIncoming}}} notification is sent, after which the application can call this method on the sender of the notification.

  After this method is called, {{{SIPSessionWillStart}}} followed by {{{SIPSessionDidStart}}} will be emitted, or {{{SIPSessionDidFail}}} on an error.

  This method may only be called while in the {{{incoming}}} state.

  [[BR]]''streams'':[[BR]]

  A list of streams which needs to be a subset of the proposed streams which indicates which streams are to be accepted. All the other proposed streams will be rejected.

 '''reject'''(''self'', '''code'''={{{603}}}, '''reason'''={{{None}}})::

  Reject an incoming session and move it to the {{{terminaing}}} state, which eventually leads to the {{{terminated}}} state.

  Calling this method will cause the {{{Session}}} object to emit a {{{SIPSessionDidFail}}} notification once the session has been rejected.

  This method may only be called while in the {{{incoming}}} state.

  [[BR]]''code'':[[BR]]

  An integer which represents the SIP status code in the response which is to be sent. Usually, this is either 486 (Busy) or 603 (Decline/Busy Everywhere).

  [[BR]]''reason'':[[BR]]

  The string which is to be sent as the SIP status reason in the response, or None if PJSIP's default reason for the specified code is to be sent.

 '''accept_proposal'''(''self'', '''streams''')::

  When the remote party proposes to add some new streams, signaled by the {{{SIPSessionGotProposal}}} notification, the application can use this method to accept the stream(s) being proposed.

  After calling this method a {{{SIPSessionGotAcceptProposal}}} notification is sent, unless an error occurs while setting up the new stream, in which case a {{{SIPSessionHadProposalFailure}}} notification is sent and a rejection is sent to the remote party. As with any action which causes the streams in the session to change, a {{{SIPSessionDidRenegotiateStreams}}} notification is also sent.

  This method may only be called while in the {{{received_proposal}}} state.

  [[BR]]''streams'':[[BR]]

  A list of streams which needs to be a subset of the proposed streams which indicates which streams are to be accepted. All the other proposed streams will be rejected.

 '''reject_proposal'''(''self'', '''code'''={{{488}}}, '''reason'''={{{None}}})::

  When the remote party proposes new streams that the application does not want to accept, this method can be used to reject the proposal, after which a {{{SIPSessionGotRejectProposal}}} or {{{SIPSessionHadProposalFailure}}} notification is sent.

  This method may only be called while in the {{{received_proposal}}} state.

  [[BR]]''code'':[[BR]]

  An integer which represents the SIP status code in the response which is to be sent. Usually, this is 488 (Not Acceptable Here).

  [[BR]]''reason'':[[BR]]

  The string which is to be sent as the SIP status reason in the response, or None if PJSIP's default reason for the specified code is to be sent.

 '''add_stream'''(''self'', '''stream''')::

  Proposes a new stream to the remote party.

  Calling this method will cause a {{{SIPSessionGotProposal}}} notification to be emitted.

  After this, the state machine will move into the {{{sending_proposal}}} state until either a {{{SIPSessionGotAcceptProposal}}}, {{{SIPSessionGotRejectProposal}}} or {{{SIPSessionHadProposalFailure}}} notification is sent, informing the application if the remote party accepted the proposal. As with any action which causes the streams in the session to change, a {{{SIPSessionDidRenegotiateStreams}}} notification is also sent.

  This method may only be called while in the {{{connected}}} state.

 '''remove_stream'''(''self'', '''stream''')::

  Stop the stream and remove it from the session, informing the remote party of this. Although technically this is also done via an SDP negotiation which may fail, the stream will always get remove (if the remote party refuses the re-INVITE, the result will be that the remote party will have a different view of the active streams than the local party).

  This method may only be called while in the {{{connected}}} state.

 '''cancel_proposal'''(''self'')::

  This method cancels a proposal of adding a stream to the session by sending a CANCEL request. A {{{SIPSessionGotRejectProposal}}} notification will be sent with code 487.

 '''hold'''(''self'')::

  Put the streams of the session which support the notion of hold on hold.

  This will cause a {{{SIPSessionDidChangeHoldState}}} notification to be sent.

  This method may be called in any state and will send the re-INVITE as soon as it is possible.

 '''unhold'''(''self'')::

  Take the streams of the session which support the notion of hold out of hold.

  This will cause a {{{SIPSessionDidChangeHoldState}}} notification to be sent.

  This method may be called in any state and will send teh re-INVITE as soon as it is possible.

 '''end'''(''self'')::

  This method may be called any time after the {{{Session}}} has started in order to terminate the session by sending a BYE request.

  Right before termination a {{{SIPSessionWillEnd}}} notification is sent, after termination {{{SIPSessionDidEnd}}} is sent.

As an example for how to use the {{{Session}}} object, the following provides a basic Python program that initiates an outgoing SIP session request see [wiki:SipSessionExample Minimalist Session Example code].

=== SessionManager ===

Implemented in [browser:sipsimple/session.py]

The {{{sipsimple.session.SessionManager}}} class is a singleton, which acts as the central aggregation point for sessions within the middleware.

Although it is mainly used internally, the application can use it to query information about all active sessions.

The SessionManager is implemented as a singleton, meaning that only one instance of this class exists within the middleware. The SessionManager is started by the SIPApplication and takes care of handling incoming sessions.

==== attributes ====

 '''sessions'''::

  A property providing a copy of the list of all active {{{Sesssion}}} objects within the application, meaning any {{{Session}}} object that exists globally within the application and is not in the {{{NULL}}} or {{{TERMINATED}}} state.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'')::

  Instantiate a new {{{SessionManager}}} object.

 '''start'''(''self'')::

  Start the {{{SessionManager}}} in order to be able to handle incoming sessions.

=== IMediaStream ===

Implemented in [browser:sipsimple/streams/__init__.py]

This interface describes the API which the {{{Session}}} uses to communicate with the streams. All streams used by the {{{Session}}} __must__ respect this interface.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', ''account'')::

  Initializes the generic stream instance.

 '''new_from_sdp'''(''cls'', ''account'', ''remote_sdp'', ''stream_index'')::

  A classmethod which returns an instance of this stream implementation if the sdp is accepted by the stream or None otherwise.

  [[BR]]account:[[BR]]

  The {{{sipsimple.account.Account}}} or {{{sipsimple.account.BonjourAccount}}} object the session which this stream would be part of is associated with.

  [[BR]]remote_sdp:[[BR]]

  The {{{FrozenSDPSession}}} which was received by the remote offer.

  [[BR]]stream_index:[[BR]]

  An integer representing the index within the list of media streams within the whole SDP which this stream would be instantiated for. 

 '''get_local_media'''(''self'', ''for_offer'')::

  Return an {{{SDPMediaStream}}} which represents an offer for using this stream if {{{for_offer}}} is {{{True}}} and a response to an SDP proposal otherwise.

  [[BR]]for_offer:[[BR]]

  {{{True}}} if the {{{SDPMediaStream}}} will be used for an SDP proposal and {{{False}}} if for a response.

 '''initialize'''(''self'', ''session'', ''direction'')::

  Initializes the stream. This method will get called as soon as the stream is known to be at least offered as part of the {{{Session}}}. If initialization goes fine, the stream must send a {{{MediaStreamDidInitialize}}} notification or a {{{MediaStreamDidFail}}} notification otherwise.

  [[BR]]session:[[BR]]

  The {{{Session}}} object this stream will be part of.

  [[BR]]direction:[[BR]]

  {{{"incoming"}}} if the stream was created because of a received proposal and {{{"outgoing"}}} if a proposal was sent. Note that this need not be the same as the initial direction of the {{{Session}}} since streams can be proposed in either way using re-INVITEs.

 '''start'''(''self'', ''local_sdp'', ''remote_sdp'', ''stream_index'')::

  Starts the stream. This method will be called as soon is known to be used in the {{{Session}}} (eg. only called for an incoming proposal if the local party accepts the proposed stream). If starting succeeds, the stream must send a {{{MediaStreamDidStart}}} notification or a {{{MediaStreamDidFail}}} notification otherwise.

  [[BR]]local_sdp:[[BR]]

  The {{{FrozenSDPSession}}} which is used by the local endpoint.

  [[BR]]remote_sdp:[[BR]]

  The {{{FrozenSDPSession}}} which is used by the remote endpoint.

  [[BR]]stream_index:[[BR]]

  An integer representing the index within the list of media streams within the whole SDP which this stream is represented by. 

 '''validate_update'''(''self'', ''remote_sdp'', ''stream_index'')::

  This method will be called when a re-INVITE is received which changes the parameters of the stream within the SDP. The stream must return {{{True}}} if the changes are acceptable or {{{False}}} otherwise. If any changed streams return {{{False}}} for a re-INVITE, the re-INVITE will be refused with a negative response. This means that streams must not changed any internal data when this method is called as the update is not guaranteed to be applied even if the stream returns {{{True}}}. 

  [[BR]]remote_sdp:[[BR]]

  The {{{FrozenSDPSession}}} which is used by the remote endpoint.

  [[BR]]stream_index:[[BR]]

  An integer representing the index within the list of media streams within the whole SDP which this stream is represented by. 

 '''update'''(''self'', ''local_sdp'', ''remote_sdp'', ''stream_index'')::

  This method is called when the an SDP negotiation initiated by either the local party or the remote party succeeds. The stream must update its internal state according to the new SDP in use.

  [[BR]]local_sdp:[[BR]]

  The {{{FrozenSDPSession}}} which is used by the local endpoint.

  [[BR]]remote_sdp:[[BR]]

  The {{{FrozenSDPSession}}} which is used by the remote endpoint.

  [[BR]]stream_index:[[BR]]

  An integer representing the index within the list of media streams within the whole SDP which this stream is represented by. 

 '''hold'''(''self'')::

  Puts the stream on hold if supported by the stream. Typically used by audio and video streams. The stream must immediately stop sending/receiving data and calls to {{{get_local_media()}}} following calls to this method must return an SDP which reflects the new hold state.

 '''unhold'''(''self'')::

  Takes the stream off hold. Typically used by audio and video streams. Calls to {{{get_local_media()}}} following calls to this method must return an SDP which reflects the new hold state.

 '''deactivate'''(''self'')::

  This method is called on a stream just before the stream will be removed from the {{{Session}}} (either as a result of a re-INVITE or a BYE). This method is needed because it avoids a race condition with streams using stateful protocols such as TCP: the stream connection might be terminated before the SIP signalling announces this due to network routing inconsistencies and the other endpoint would not be able to distinguish between this case and an error which caused the stream transport to fail. The stream must not take any action, but must consider that the transport being closed by the other endpoint after this method was called as a normal situation rather than an error condition.

 '''end'''(''self'')::

  Ends the stream. This must close the underlying transport connection. The stream must send a {{{MediaStreamWillEnd}}} just after this method is called and a {{{MediaStreamDidEnd}}} as soon as the operation is complete. This method is always be called by the {{{Session}}} on the stream if at least the {{{initialize()}}} method has been called. This means that once a stream sends the {{{MediaStreamDidFail}}} notification, the {{{Session}}} will still call this method.

==== atributes ====

 '''type''' (class attribute)::

  A string identifying the stream type (eg: {{{"audio"}}}, {{{"video"}}}).

 '''priority''' (class attribute)::

  An integer value indicating the stream priority relative to the other streams types (higher numbers have higher priority).

 '''hold_supported'''::

  True if the stream supports hold

 '''on_hold_by_local'''::

  True if the stream is on hold by the local party

 '''on_hold_by_remote'''::

  True if the stream is on hold by the remote

 '''on_hold'''::

  True if either on_hold_by_local or on_hold_by_remote is true

==== notifications ====

These notifications must be generated by all streams in order for the {{{Session}}} to know the state of the stream.

 '''MediaStreamDidInitialize'''::

  Sent when the stream has been successfully initialized.

 '''MediaStreamDidStart'''::

  Sent when the stream has been successfully started.

 '''MediaStreamDidFail'''::

  Sent when the stream has failed either as a result of calling one of its methods, or during the normal operation of the stream (such as the transport connection being closed).

  Sent immediately after the {{{end()}}} method is called.

 '''MediaStreamDidEnd'''::

  Sent when the {{{end()}}} method finished closing the stream.

=== MediaStreamRegistry ===

The MediaStream registry is a collection of classes which implement {{{IMediaStream}}}. This collection is used by the {{{Session}}} to select a stream class for instantiation in the case of an incomming session. The streams are included in the collection in the descending order of their priority. Thus, streams with a higher priority will be tried first by the {{{Session}}}. This object is a Singleton so references to the same object can be obtained by a simple instantiation.

There are several pre-built streams based on the {{{IMediaStream}}} API:

 * {{{sipsimple.streams.rtp.AudioStream}}} - Audio stream based on RTP

 * {{{sipsimple.streams.msrp.ChatStream}}} - Chat stream based on MSRP 

 * {{{sipsimple.streams.msrp.FileTransferStream}}} - File Transfer stream based on MSRP 

 * {{{sipsimple.streams.msrp.DesktopSharingStream}}} -  Desktop Sharing stream based on VNC over MSRP

Other streams which are created by the application must be registered in this registry. For a simple way of doing this, see [wiki:SipMiddlewareApi#MediaStreamRegistrar MediaStreamRegistrar].

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'')::

  Instantiate the MediaStreamRegistry. This will be called just once when first (and only) instance is created.

 '''!__iter!__'''(''self'')::

  This method allows the registry to be iterated through and will return classes which were registered to it.

 '''add'''(''self'', '''cls''')::

  Add {{{cls}}} to the registry of streams. The class must implement the {{{IMediaStream}}} interface.

=== MediaStreamRegistrar ===

This is a convenience metaclass which automatically registers a defined class with the {{{MediaStreamRegistry}}}. In order to use this class, one simply needs to use it as the metaclass of the new stream.

{{{

=== AudioStream ===

Implemented in [browser:sipsimple/streams/rtp.py]

The {{{AudioStream}}} is an implementation of {{{IMediaStream}}} which supports audio data using the {{{AudioTransport}}} and {{{RTPTransport}}} of the SIP core. As such, it provides all features of these objects, including ICE negotiation. An example SDP created using the {{{AudioStream}}} is provided below:

}}}

As an implementation of {{{IAudioPort}}}, an {{{AudioStream}}} can be added to an {{{AudioBridge}}} to send or to read audio data to/from other audio objects. It is connected to the voice {{{AudioMixer}}} ({{{SIPApplication.voice_audio_mixer}}}) so it can only be added to bridges using the same {{{AudioMixer}}}. It also contains an {{{AudioBridge}}} on the {{{bridge}}} attribute which always contains an {{{AudioDevice}}} corresponding to the input and output devices; when the stream is active (started and not on hold), the bridge also contains the stream itself and when recording is active, the stream contains a {{{WaveRecorder}}} which records audio data.

=== MSRPStreamBase ===

Implemented in [browser:sipsimple/streams/msrp.py]

The {{{MSRPStreamBase}}} is used as a base class for streams using the MSRP protocol. Within the SIP SIMPLE middleware, this hold for the {{{ChatStream}}}, {{{FileTransferStream}}} and {{{DesktopSharingStream}}} classes, however the application can also make use of this class to implement some other streams based on the MSRP protocol as a transport.

==== methods ====

Of the methods defined by the {{{IMediaStream}}} interface, only the {{{new_from_sdp}}} method is not implemented in this base class and needs to be provided by the subclasses. Also, the subclasses can defined methods of the form {{{_handle_XXX}}}, where XXX is a MSRP method name in order to handle incoming MSRP requests. Also, since this class registers as an observer for itself, it will receive the notifications it sends so subclasses can define methods having the signature {{{_NH_<notification name>(self, notification)}}} as used throughout the middleware in order to do various things at the different points within the life-cycle of the stream.

==== atributes ====

The attributes defined in the {{{IMediaStream}}} interface which are not provided by this class are:

 * type

 * priority

In addition, the following attributes need to be defined in the subclass in order for the {{{MSRPStreamBase}}} class to take the correct decisions

 '''media_type'''::

  The media type as included in the SDP (eg. {{{"message"}}}, {{{"application"}}}).

 '''accept_types'''::

  A list of the MIME types which should be accepted by the stream (this is also sent within the SDP).

=== ChatStream ===

Implemented in [browser:sipsimple/streams/msrp.py]

{{{sipsimple.streams.msrp.ChatStream}}} implements session-based Instant Messaging (IM) over MSRP. This class performs the following functions:

 * automatically wraps outgoing messages with Message/CPIM if that's necessary according to accept-types

 * unwraps incoming Message/CPIM messages; for each incoming message, the {{{ChatStreamGotMessage}}} notification is posted

 * composes iscomposing payloads and reacts to those received by sending the {{{ChatStreamGotComposingIndication}}} notification

An example of an SDP created using this class follows:

These are concrete implementations of the {{{IDesktopSharingHandler}}} interface which can be used for a VNC viewer or server implemented within the application. Since they have exactly the same interface as far as the application is concerned, they are documented together.

==== methods ====

 '''send'''(''self'', '''data''')::

  Sends the specified data to the stream in order for it to be transported over MSRP to the remote endpoint.

  [[BR]]data:[[BR]]

  The RFB data to be transported over MSRP, in the form of a {{{str}}}.

==== notifications ====

 '''DesktopSharingStreamGotData'''::

  This notification is sent when data is received over MSRP.

  [[BR]]data:[[BR]]

  The RFB data from the remote endpoint, in the form of a {{{str}}}.

=== ExternalVNCViewerHandler ===

This implementation of {{{IDesktopSharingHandler}}} can be used for an external VNC viewer which connects to a VNC server using TCP.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''address'''={{{("localhost", 0)}}}, '''connect_timeout'''={{{3}}})::

  This instantiates a new {{{ExternalVNCViewerHandler}}} which is listening on the provided address, ready for the external VNC viewer to connect to it via TCP. After this method returns, the attribute {{{address}}} can be used to find out exactly on what address and port the handler is listening on. The handler will only accept one conenction on this address.

  [[BR]]address:[[BR]]

  A tuple containing an IP address/hostname and a port on which the handler should listen. Any data received on this socket will then be forwarded to the stream and any data received from the stream will be forwarded to this socket.

==== attribtues ====

 '''address'''::

  A tuple containing an IP address and a port on which the handler is listening.

=== ExternalVNCServerHandler ===

This implementation of {{{IDesktopSharingHandler}}} can be used for an external VNC server to which handler will connect using TCP.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''address''', '''connect_timeout'''={{{3}}})::

  This instantiates a new {{{ExternalVNCServerHandler}}} which will connect to the provided address on which a VNC server must be listening before the stream using this handler starts.

  [[BR]]address:[[BR]]

  A tuple containing an IP address/hostname and a port on which the VNC server will be listening. Any data received on this socket will then be forwared to the stream and any data received form the stream will be forwarded to this socket.

  [[BR]]connect_timeout:[[BR]]

  How long to wait to connect to the VNC server before giving up.

=== DesktopSharingStream ===

Implemented in [browser:sipsimple/streams/msrp.py]

This stream implements desktop sharing using MSRP as a transport protocol for RFB data.

There is no standard defining this usage but is fairly easy to implement in clients that already support MSRP. To traverse a NAT-ed router, a [http://msrprelay.org MSRP relay] configured for the called party domain is needed. Below is an example of the Session Description Protocol used for establishing a Desktop sharing session:

{{{

m=application 2855 TCP/TLS/MSRP *

a=path:msrps://10.0.1.19:2855/b599b22d1b1d6a3324c8;tcp

a=accept-types:application/x-rfb

a=setup:active

}}}

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''acount''', '''handler''')::

  Instantiate a new {{{DesktopSharingStream}}}.

  [[BR]]account:[[BR]]

  The {{{sipsimple.account.Account}}} or {{{sipsimple.account.BonjourAccount}}} instance this stream is associated with.

  [[BR]]handler:[[BR]]

  An object implementing the {{{IDesktopSharingHandler}}} interface which will act as the handler for RFB data.

==== attributes ====

 '''handler'''::

  This is a writable property which can be used to get or set the object implementing {{{IDesktopSharingHandler}}} which acts as the handler for RFB data. For incoming {{{DesktopSharingStreams}}}, this must be set by the application before the stream starts.

 '''incoming_queue'''::

  A {{{eventlet.coros.queue}}} instance on which incoming RFB data is written. The handler should wait for data on this queue.

 '''outgoing_queue'''::

  A {{{eventlet.coros.queue}}} instance on which outgoing RFB data is written. The handler should write data on this queue.

== Address Resolution ==

The SIP SIMPLE middleware offers the {{{sipsimple.lookup}}} module which contains an implementation for doing DNS lookups for SIP proxies, MSRP relays and STUN servers. The interface offers both an asynchronous and synchronous interface. The asynchronous interface is based on notifications, while the synchronous one on green threads. In order to call the methods in a asynchronous manner, you just need to call the method and wait for the notification which is sent on behalf of the DNSLookup instance. The notifications sent by the DNSLookup object are DNSLookupDidSucceed and DNSLookupDidFail. In order to call the methods in a synchronous manner, you need to call the wait method on the object returned by the methods of DNSLookup. This wait method needs to be called from a green thread and will either return the result of the lookup or raise an exception.

=== DNS Lookup ===

This object implements DNS lookup support for SIP proxies according to RFC3263 and MSRP relay and STUN server lookup using SRV records. The object initially does NS record queries in order to determine the authoritative nameservers for the domain requested; these authoritative nameservers will then be used for NAPTR, SRV and A record queries. If this fails, the locally configured nameservers are used. The reason for doing this is that some home routers have broken NAPTR and/or SRV query support.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'')::

  Instantiate a new DNSLookup object.

 '''lookup_service'''(''self'', '''uri''', '''service''', '''timeout'''={{{3.0}}}, '''lifetime'''={{{15.0}}})::

  Perform an SRV lookup followed by A lookups for MSRP relays or STUN servers depending on the {{{service}}} parameter. If SRV queries on the {{{uri.host}}} domain fail, an A lookup is performed on it and the default port for the service is returned. Only the {{{uri.host}}} attribute is used. The return value is a list of (host, port) tuples.

  [[BR]]uri:[[BR]]

  A {{{(Frozen)SIPURI}}} from which the {{{host}}} attribute is used for the query domain.

  [[BR]]service:[[BR]]

  The service to lookup servers for, {{{"msrprelay"}}} or {{{"stun"}}}.

  [[BR]]timeout:[[BR]]

  How many seconds to wait for a response from a nameserver.

  [[BR]]lifetime:[[BR]]

  How many seconds to wait for a response from all nameservers in total.

 '''lookup_sip_proxy'''(''self'', '''uri''', '''supported_transports''', '''timeout'''={{{3.0}}}, '''lifetime'''={{{15.0}}})::

  Perform a RFC3263 compliant DNS lookup for a SIP proxy using the URI which is considered to point to a host if either the {{{host}}} attribute is an IP address, or the {{{port}}} is present. Otherwise, it is considered a domain for which NAPTR, SRV and A lookups are performed. If NAPTR or SRV queries fail, they fallback to using SRV and A queries. If the transport parameter is present in the URI, this will be used as far as it is part of the supported transports. If the URI has a {{{sips}}} schema, then only the TLS transport will be used as far as it doesn't conflict with the supported transports or the transport parameter. The return value is a list of {{{Route}}} objects containing the IP address, port and transport to use for routing in the order of preference given by the supported_transports argument.

  [[BR]]uri:[[BR]]

  A {{{(Frozen)SIPURI}}} from which the {{{host}}}, {{{port}}}, {{{parameters}}} and {{{secure}}} attributes are used.

  [[BR]]supported_transports:[[BR]]

  A sublist of {{{['udp', 'tcp', 'tls']}}} in the application's order of preference.

  [[BR]]timeout:[[BR]]

  How many seconds to wait for a response from a nameserver.

  [[BR]]lifetime:[[BR]]

  How many seconds to wait for a response from all nameservers in total.

==== notifications ====

 '''DNSLookupDidSucceed'''::

  This notification is sent when one of the lookup methods succeeds in finding a result.

  [[BR]]timestamp:[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]result:[[BR]]

  The result of the DNS lookup in the format described in each method.

 '''DNSLookupDidFail'''::

  This notification is sent when one of the lookup methods fails in finding a result.

  [[BR]]timestamp:[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]error:[[BR]]

  A {{{str}}} object describing the error which resulted in the DNS lookup failure.

 '''DNSLookupTrace'''::

  This notification is sent several times during a lookup process for each individual DNS query.

  [[BR]]timestamp:[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]query_type:[[BR]]

  The type of the query, {{{"NAPTR"}}}, {{{"SRV"}}}, {{{"A"}}}, {{{"NS"}}} etc.

  [[BR]]query_name:[[BR]]

  The name which was queried.

  [[BR]]answer:[[BR]]

  The answer returned by dnspython, or {{{None}}} if an error occurred.

  [[BR]]error:[[BR]]

  The exception which caused the query to fail, or {{{None}}} if no error occurred.

  [[BR]]context:[[BR]]

  The name of the method which was called on the {{{DNSLookup}}} object.

  [[BR]]service:[[BR]]

  The service which was queried for, only available when context is {{{"lookup_service"}}}.

  [[BR]]uri:[[BR]]

  The uri which was queried for. 

=== Route ===

This is a convinience object which contains sufficient information to identify a route to a SIP proxy. This object is returned by {{{DNSLookup.lookup_sip_proxy}}} and can be used with the {{{Session}}} or a {{{(Frozen)RouteHeader}}} can be easily constructed from it to pass to one of the objects in the SIP core handling SIP dialogs/transactions ({{{Invitation}}}, {{{Subscription}}}, {{{Request}}}, {{{Registration}}}, {{{Message}}}, {{{Publication}}}). This object has three attributes which can be set in the constructor or after it was instantiated. They will only be documented as arguments to the constructor.

==== methods ====

 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''address''', '''port'''=None, '''transport'''={{{'udp'}}})::

  Creates the Route object with the specified parameters as attributes.

  Each of these attributes can be accessed on the object once instanced.

  [[BR]]''address'':[[BR]]

  The IPv4 address that the request in question should be sent to as a string.

  [[BR]]''port'':[[BR]]

  The port to send the requests to, represented as an int, or None if the default port is to be used.

  [[BR]]''transport'':[[BR]]

  The transport to use, this can be a string of either "udp", "tcp" or "tls" (case insensitive).

 '''get_uri'''(''self'')::

  Returns a {{{SIPURI}}} object which contains the adress, port and transport as parameter. This can be used to easily construct a {{{RouteHeader}}}:

  {{{

    route = Route("1.2.3.4", port=1234, transport="tls")

    route_header = RouteHeader(route.get_uri())

  }}}

== Accounts ==

Account Management is implemented in [browser:sipsimple/account.py] ({{{sipsimple.account}}} module) and offers support for SIP accounts registered at SIP providers and SIP bonjour accounts which are discovered using mDNS.

=== Account ===

The {{{sipsimple.account.Account}}} objects represent the SIP accounts which are registered at SIP providers. It has a dual purpose: it acts as both a container for account-related settings and as a complex object which can be used to interact with various per-account functions, such as presence, registration etc. This page documents the latter case, while the former is explained in the [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI#Account Configuration API].

There is exactly one instance of {{{Account}}} per SIP account used and it is uniquely identifiable by its SIP ID, in the form ''user@domain''. It is a singleton, in the sense that instantiating {{{Account}}} using an already used SIP ID will return the same object. However, this is not the recommended way of accessing accounts, as this can lead to creation of new ones; the recommended way is by using the [wiki:SipMiddlewareApi#AccountManager AccountManager]. The next sections will use a lowercase, monospaced {{{account}}} to represent an instance of {{{Account}}}.

==== states ====

The {{{Account}}} objects have a setting flag called {{{enabled}}} which, if set to {{{False}}} will deactivate it: none of the internal functions will work in this case; in addition, the application using the middleware should not do anything with a disabled account. After changing it's value, the {{{save()}}} method needs to be called, as the flag is a setting and will not be used until this method is called:

{{{

account.enabled = True

account.save()

}}}

The {{{Account}}} objects will activate automatically when they are loaded/created if the {{{enabled}}} flag is set to {{{True}}} and the {{{sipsimple.engine.Engine}}} is running; if it is not running, the accounts will activate after the engine starts.

In order to create a new account, just create a new instance of {{{Account}}} with an id which doesn't belong to any other account.

The other functions of {{{Account}}} which run automatically have other enabled flags as well. They will only be activated when both the global enabled flag is set and the function-specific one. These are:

 '''Account.registration.enabled'''::

  This flag controls the automatic registration of the account. The notifications '''SIPAccountRegistrationDidSucceed''', '''SIPAccountRegistrationDidFail''' and '''SIPAccountRegistrationDidEnd''' are used to inform the status of this registration.

 '''Account.presence.enabled'''::

  This flag controls the automatic subscription to buddies for the ''presence'' event and the publication of data in this event. (Not implemented yet)

 '''Account.dialog_event.enabled'''::

  This flag controls the automatic subscription to buddies for the ''dialog-info'' event and the publication of data in this event. (Not implemented yet)

 '''Account.message_summary.enabled'''::

  This flag controls the automatic subscription to the ''message-summary'' event in order to find out about voicemail messages. (Not implemented yet)

The {{{save()}}} method needs to be called after changing these flags in order for them to take effect. The methods available on {{{Account}}} objects are inherited from [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI#SettingsObject SettingsObject].

==== attributes ====

The following attributes can be used on an Account object and need to be considered read-only.

 '''id'''::

  This attribute is of type {{{sipsimple.configuration.datatypes.SIPAddress}}} (a subclass of {{{str}}}) and contains the SIP id of the account. It can be used as a normal string in the form ''user@domain'', but it also allows access to the components via the attributes {{{username}}} and {{{domain}}}.

  {{{

  account.id # 'alice@example.com'

  account.id.username # 'alice'

  account.id.domain # 'example.com'

  }}}

 '''contact'''::

  This attribute can be used to construct the Contact URI for SIP requests sent on behalf of this account. It's type is {{{sipsimple.account.ContactURI}}} which is a subclass of {{{sipsimple.configuration.datatypes.SIPAddress}}}. In addition to the attributes defined in {{{SIPAddress}}}, it can be indexed by a string representing a transport ({{{'udp'}}}, {{{'tcp'}}} or {{{'tls'}}}) which will return a {{{sipsimple.core.SIPURI}}} object with the appropriate port and transport parameter. The username part is a randomly generated 8 character string consisting of lowercase letters; the domain part is the IP address on which the {{{Engine}}} is listening (as specified by the SIPSimpleSettings.local_ip setting).

  {{{

  account.contact # 'hnfkybrt@10.0.0.1'

  account.contact.username # 'hnfkybrt'

  account.contact.domain # '10.0.0.1'

  account.contact['udp'] # <SIPURI "sip:hnfkybrt@10.0.0.1:53024">

  account.contact['tls'] # <SIPURI "sip:hnfkybrt@10.0.0.1:54478;transport=tls">

  }}}

 '''credentials'''::

  This attribute is of type {{{sipsimple.core.Credentials}}} which is built from the {{{id.username}}} attribute and the {{{password}}} setting of the Account. Whenever this setting is changed, this attribute is updated.

  {{{

  account.credentials # <Credentials for 'alice'>

  }}}

 '''uri'''::

  This attribute is of type {{{sipsimple.core.SIPURI}}} which can be used to form a {{{FromHeader}}} associated with this account. It contains the SIP ID of the account.

  {{{

  account.uri # <SIPURI "sip:alice@example.com">

  }}}

==== notifications ====

 '''CFGSettingsObjectDidChange'''::

  This notification is sent when the {{{save()}}} method is called on the account after some of the settings were changed. As the notification belongs to the {{{SettingsObject}}} class, it is exaplained in detail in [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI#SettingsObjectNotifications SettingsObject Notifications].

 '''SIPAccountDidActivate'''::

  [[BR]]''expires'':[[BR]]

   The amount in seconds in which this registration will expire.

  [[BR]]''registrar'':[[BR]]

  The {{{sipsimple.util.Route}}} object which was used.

 '''SIPAccountRegistrationDidFail'''::

  This notification is sent when a REGISTER request sent for the account fails. It can fail either because a negative response was returned or because PJSIP considered the request failed (e.g. on timeout). The data contained in this notification is:

  [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]''error'':[[BR]]

   The reason for the failure of the REGISTER request.

  [[BR]]''timeout'':[[BR]]

   The amount in seconds as a {{{float}}} after which the registration will be tried again.

 '''SIPAccountRegistrationDidEnd'''::

  This notification is sent when a registration is ended (the account is unregistered). The data contained in this notification is:

  [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]

  A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object indicating when the notification was sent.

  [[BR]]''registration'':[[BR]]

   The {{{sipsimple.core.Registration}}} object which ended.

  [[BR]]''registration'':[[BR]]

  The {{{sipsimple.core.Registration}}} object which was used.

  [[BR]]''registrar'':[[BR]]

  The {{{sipsimple.util.Route}}} object which was used.

=== BonjourAccount ===

The {{{sipsimple.account.BonjourAccount}}} represents the SIP account used for P2P mode; it does not interact with any server. The class is a singleton, as there can only be one such account on a system. Similar to the {{{Account}}}, it is used both as a complex object, which implements the functions for bonjour mode, as well as a container for the related settings.
