XRDS - Service Endpoints (SEPs)

Service Endpoints (SEPs)

The other main purpose of XRDS documents is to assert the services associated with a resource, called service endpoints or SEPs. For instance, the example XRDS document above asserts four service endpoints for the represented resource:

  1. An XRI resolution service (type xri://$res*auth*($v*2.0)).
  2. An OpenID 2.0 authentication service (type http://openid.net/signon/2.0).
  3. An OpenID 1.0 authentication service (type http://openid.net/server/1.0).
  4. An untyped service for requesting resources with a media type image/jpeg.

For full details of XRDS service endpoints, see XRI Resolution 2.0, Sections 4.2 and 13.

Famous quotes containing the word service:

    “Whatever events in progress shall disgust men with cities, and infuse into them the passion for country life, and country pleasures, will render a service to the whole face of this continent, and will further the most poetic of all the occupations of real life, the bringing out by art the native but hidden graces of the landscape.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
