INTERNET DRAFT Michiel B. de Jong
Document: draft-dejong-remotestorage-12 (independent)
F. Kooman
Intended Status: Proposed Standard (independent)
Expires: 1 June 2019 8 December 2018
remoteStorage
Abstract
This draft describes a protocol by which client-side applications,
running inside a web browser, can communicate with a data storage
server that is hosted on a different domain name. This way, the
provider of a web application need not also play the role of data
storage provider. The protocol supports storing, retrieving, and
removing individual documents, as well as listing the contents of an
individual folder, and access control is based on bearer tokens.

1. Introduction
Many services for data storage are available over the Internet. This
specification describes a vendor-independent interface for such
services. It is based on HTTPS, CORS and bearer tokens. The
metaphor for addressing data on the storage is that of folders
containing documents and subfolders. The actions the interface
exposes are:
* GET a folder: retrieve the names and current versions of the
documents and subfolders currently contained by the folder
