Server requirements and blob retrieval

draft mandatory

All pubkeys MUST be in hex format

Cross origin headers

Servers MUST set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header on all responses to ensure compatibility with applications hosted on other domains.

For preflight (OPTIONS) requests, servers MUST also set, at minimum, the Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Authorization, * and Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, PUT, DELETE headers.

The header Access-Control-Max-Age: 86400 MAY be set to cache the results of a preflight request for 24 hours.

Error responses

Every time a server sends an error response (HTTP status codes >=400), it may include a human-readable header X-Reason that can be displayed to the user.

Authorization events

Authorization events are used to identify the users to the server

Authorization events must be generic and must NOT be scoped to specific servers. This allows pubkeys to sign a single event and interact the same way with multiple servers.

Events MUST be kind 24242 and have a t tag with a verb of get, upload, list, or delete

Events MUST have the content set to a human readable string explaining to the user what the events inteded use is. For example Upload Blob, Delete dog-picture.png, List Images, etc

All events MUST have a NIP-40 expiration tag set to a unix timestamp at which the event should be considered expired.

Authorization events MAY have multiple x tags for endpoints that require a sha256 hash.

Example event:

{
  "id": "bb653c815da18c089f3124b41c4b5ec072a40b87ca0f50bbbc6ecde9aca442eb",
  "pubkey": "b53185b9f27962ebdf76b8a9b0a84cd8b27f9f3d4abd59f715788a3bf9e7f75e",
  "kind": 24242,
  "content": "Upload bitcoin.pdf",
  "created_at": 1708773959,
  "tags": [
    ["t", "upload"],
    // Authorization events MAY have multiple "x" tags
    ["x", "b1674191a88ec5cdd733e4240a81803105dc412d6c6708d53ab94fc248f4f553"],
    ["expiration", "1708858680"]
  ],
  "sig": "d0d58c92afb3f4f1925120b99c39cffe77d93e82f488c5f8f482e8f97df75c5357175b5098c338661c37d1074b0a18ab5e75a9df08967bfb200930ec6a76562f"
}

Servers must perform the following checks in order to validate the event

  1. The kind must be 24242
  2. created_at must be in the past
  3. The expiration tag must be set to a Unix timestamp in the future
  4. The t tag must have a verb matching the intended action of the endpoint
  5. Additional checks for specific endpoints. /upload, /delete, etc

Using the Authorization HTTP header, the kind 24242 event MUST be base64 encoded and use the Authorization scheme Nostr

Example HTTP Authorization header:

Authorization: Nostr 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

Endpoints

All endpoints MUST be served from the root path (eg. https://cdn.example.com/upload, etc). This allows clients to talk to servers interchangeably when uploading or retrieving blobs

GET /sha256 - Get Blob

The GET /<sha256> endpoint MUST return the contents of the blob with the Content-Type header set to the appropriate MIME type

The endpoint MUST accept an optional file extension in the URL. ie. .pdf, .png, etc

If the endpoints returns a 301 or 302 redirect it MUST redirect to a URL containing the same sha256 hash as requested blob. This ensures that if a user was to copy or reuse the redirect URL it would still contain the original sha256 hash

Get Authorization (optional)

The server may optionally require authorization when retrieving blobs from the GET /<sha256> endpoint

In this case the server MUST perform additional checks on the authorization event

  1. A t tag MUST be present and set to get
  2. The event MUST contain either a server tag containing the full URL to the server or MUST contain at least one x tag matching the sha256 hash of the blob being retrieved

If the client did not send an Authorization header the server must respond with the appropriate HTTP status code 401 (Unauthorized)

Example event for retrieving a single blob:

{
  "id": "06d4842b9d7f8bf72440471704de4efa9ef8f0348e366d097405573994f66294",
  "pubkey": "ec0d11351457798907a3900fe465bfdc3b081be6efeb3d68c4d67774c0bc1f9a",
  "kind": 24242,
  "content": "Get bitcoin.pdf",
  "created_at": 1708771927,
  "tags": [
    ["t", "get"],
    ["expiration", "1708857340"],
    ["x", "b1674191a88ec5cdd733e4240a81803105dc412d6c6708d53ab94fc248f4f553"]
  ],
  "sig": "22ecb5116ba143e4c3d6dc4b53d549aed6970ec455f6d25d145e0ad1fd7c0e26c465b2e92d5fdf699c7050fa43e6a41f087ef167208d4f06425f61548168fd7f"
}

Example event for retrieving multiple blobs from single server:

{
  "id": "d9484f18533d5e36f000f902a45b15a7eecf5fbfcb046789756d57ea87115dc5",

  "kind": 24242,
  "content": "Get blobs from example.com",
  "created_at": 1708771927,
  "tags": [
    ["t", "get"],
    ["expiration", "1708857340"],
    ["server", "https://cdn.example.com/"]

  "sig": "e402ade78e1714d40cd6bd3091bc5f4ada8e904e90301b5a2b9b5f0b6e95ce908d4f22b15e9fb86f8268a2131f8adbb3d1f0e7e7afd1ab0f4f08acb15822a999"
}

HEAD /sha256 - Has Blob

The HEAD /<sha256> endpoint MUST respond with either a 200 or 404 status code

The endpoint MUST accept an optional file extension in the URL similar to the GET /<sha256> endpoint. ie. .pdf, .png, etc
