5 Overview on HTTP Binding
5.1 Introduction
HTTP binding specifies the equivalence between oneM2M request and response primitives and HTTP request and
response messages, respectively. This clause provides a brief overview on the mapping relationship between oneM2M
and HTTP message parameters.
This clause describes how oneM2M request/response primitives can be mapped to HTTP request/response messages
and vice versa.
Figure 5.1-1 illustrates an example oneM2M system configuration and its correspondence to an HTTP-based
information system if HTTP binding as defined in the present document is applied. The upper diagram in Figure 5.1-1
shows with solid line arrows the flow of a request primitive originating from an AE which is registered to an MN-CSE
(Registrar of AE). The request primitive is assumed to address a resource which is hosted by another MN-CSE (Host of
Resource). Both MN-CSEs are registered to the same IN-CSE.
When applying HTTP binding, the oneM2M entities of the upper diagram take the roles outlined in the lower diagram
of a corresponding HTTP information system as defined in [1]. The AE takes the role of an HTTP client, the MN-CSE
(Registrar of AE) takes the role of a HTTP Proxy Server, and both the IN-CSE and MN-CSE (Host of Resource) take
the role of a HTTP server for this particular request message.
CSEs may also issue unsolicited request messages, shown with dashed line arrows in Figure 5.1-1, and receive
associated response messages. Therefore, for HTTP protocol binding, CSEs generally provides capability of both HTTP
Server and HTTP Client. Aes may provide HTTP Server capability optionally in order to be able to serve Notification
request messages (see ETSI TS 118 104 [3] and ETSI TS 118 101 [7]).

Figure 5.1-1 : Correspondence between oneM2M entities and HTTP Client and Server
Each individual request primitive will be mapped to single HTTP request message, and each individual response
primitive will be mapped to a single HTTP response message, and vice-versa.
An HTTP request message consists of Request-Line, headers and message-body. An HTTP response message consists
of Status-Line, headers and message-body [1]. HTTP header names are case-insensitive and a Receiver shall accept
headers that are either lower or upper or any mixture thereof. This clause describes how oneM2M request/response
primitives are mapped to HTTP messages at a high level. Corresponding details are specified in clause 6.
5.2 Request-Line
The HTTP method of a request message is mapped to the Operation parameter, and vice-versa.
At the message originator side the HTTP Request-Target is derived from the To parameter of the request primitive,
including a query string which carries other specific primitive parameters.
HTTP-Version is specified in clause 6.
5.3 Status-Line
HTTP Version is specified in clause 6.
The Status-Code of HTTP response messages is derived from the Response Status Code parameter of the response
primitive. The Reason-Phrase is not applicable to oneM2M systems and is omitted.
6 HTTP Message Mapping
6.1 Introduction
Mapping between oneM2M primitives and HTTP messages shall be applied in the following four use cases:
1. Mapping of request primitive to HTTP request message at the request originator (HTTP client)
2. Mapping of HTTP request message to request primitive at the request receiver (HTTP server)
3. Mapping of response primitive to HTTP response message at the request receiver (HTTP server)

oneM2M TS-0009 version 1.5.1 Release 1 9 ETSI TS 118 109 V1.1.0 (2016-03)
4. Mapping of HTTP response message to response primitive at the request originator (HTTP client)
All four use cases also appear at transit CSEs.
The following clauses specify the mapping between each oneM2M primitive parameter and a corresponding HTTP
message field to compose a HTTP request/response message.
6.2 Parameter Mappings on Request-Line
6.2.1 Method
The HTTP ‘Method’ shall be derived from the Operation request primitive parameter of the request primitive.
Table 6.2.1-1: HTTP Method Mapping
oneM2M Operation HTTP Method
Create POST
Retrieve GET
Update PUT
Delete DELETE
Notify POST

At the Receiver, an HTTP request message with POST method shall be mapped either to a Create or Notify Operation
parameter. Discrimination between Create and Notify operations can be accomplished by inspection of the content-type
header. The Resource Type parameter is present in the content-type header only when the HTTP POST request
represents a Create request (see clause 6.4.3). The Resource Type parameter is not present in the content-type header
when the HTTP POST request represents a Notify request.
6.2.2 Request-Target
6.2.2.1 Path component
The path component of the origin-form HTTP Request-Target shall be interpreted as the mapping of the resource
identifier part of the To request primitive parameter. If the HTTP message is sent directly to the next hop CSE, the
origin-form of Request-Target shall be employed (see clause 5.3.1 of [1]).
The resource identifier part of the To parameter can be represented in three different forms (see clause 6.2.3 [3] and
clause 7.2 [7]):
• CSE-Relative-Resource-ID,
• SP-Relative-Resource-ID,
• Absolute-Resource-ID.
Each of the above three formats may include either a structured Resource ID (used for hierarchical addressing) or an
unstructured Resour
