YANG Groupings for HTTP 1.1/2.0 Clients and HTTP Servers
draft-ietf-netconf-http-client-server-13
Abstract
This document defines two YANG modules: the first defines a minimal
grouping for configuring an HTTP client, and the second defines a
minimal grouping for configuring an HTTP server. It is intended that
these groupings will be used to help define the configuration for
simple HTTP-based protocols (not for complete web servers or
browsers).

1. Introduction
This document defines two YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] modules: the first
defines a minimal grouping for configuring an HTTP client, and the
second defines a minimal grouping for configuring an HTTP server. It
is intended that these groupings will be used to help define the
configuration for simple HTTP-based protocols (not for complete web
servers or browsers).

1.1. Relation to other RFCs
This document presents one or more YANG modules [RFC7950] that are
part of a collection of RFCs that work together to, ultimately,
enable the configuration of both the clients and servers of both the
NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040] protocols.
The normative dependency relationship between the various RFCs in
this collection is presented in the below diagram. The labels in the
diagram represent the primary purpose provided by each RFC. URLs for
each RFC are provided below the diagram.

Table 1: Label to RFC Mapping
1.2. Specification Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
1.3. Adherence to the NMDA
This document is compliant with the Network Management Datastore
Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. For instance, as described in
[I-D.ietf-netconf-trust-anchors] and [I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore],
trust anchors and keys installed during manufacturing are expected to
appear in <operational>.
1.4. Conventions
Various examples used in this document use a placeholder value for
binary data that has been base64 encoded (e.g., "BASE64VALUE=").
This placeholder value is used as real base64 encoded structures are
often many lines long and hence distracting to the example being
presented.

2. The "ietf-http-client" Module
This section defines a YANG 1.1 module called "ietf-http-client". A
high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 2.1.
Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Examples
(Section 2.2). The YANG module itself is defined in Section 2.3.
2.1. Data Model Overview
This section provides an overview of the "ietf-http-client" module in
terms of its features and groupings.
2.1.1. Features
The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in
the "ietf-http-client" module:
Features:
+-- proxy-connect
+-- basic-auth
+-- tcp-supported
+-- tls-supported
The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in
[RFC8340].
2.1.2. Groupings
The "ietf-http-client" module defines the following "grouping"
statements:
* http-client-identity-grouping
* http-client-grouping
* http-client-stack-grouping
Each of these groupings are presented in the following subsections.
2.1.2.1. The "http-client-identity-grouping" Grouping
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "http-client-
identity-grouping" grouping:
Watsen Expires 19 October 2023 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Groupings for HTTP Clients and Servers April 2023
grouping http-client-identity-grouping:
+-- client-identity!
+-- (auth-type)
+--:(basic)
+-- basic {basic-auth}?
+-- user-id string
+---u ct:password-grouping
Comments:
* This grouping exists because it is used three times by the "http-
client-grouping" discussed in Section 2.1.2.2.
* The "client-identity" node is a "presence" container so the
mandatory descendant nodes do not imply that this node must be
configured, as a client identity may be configured at protocol
layers.
* The "basic" authentication scheme is the only scheme defined by
this module, albeit it must be enabled via the "basic-auth"
feature (see Section 2.1.1).
* Other authentication schemes MAY be augmented in as needed by the
application.
2.1.2.2. The "http-client-grouping" Grouping
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "http-client-
grouping" grouping:
grouping http-client-grouping:
+---u http-client-identity-grouping
+-- proxy-connect! {proxy-connect}?
+-- (proxy-type)
+--:(http)
| +-- http-proxy
| +-- tcp-client-parameters
| | +---u tcpc:tcp-client-grouping
| +-- http-client-parameters
| +---u http-client-identity-grouping
+--:(https)
+-- https-proxy
+-- tcp-client-parameters
| +---u tcpc:tcp-client-grouping
+-- tls-client-parameters
| +---u tlsc:tls-client-grouping
+-- http-client-parameters
+---u http-client-identity-grouping
Watsen Expires 19 October 2023 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Groupings for HTTP Clients and Servers April 2023
Comments:
* The "http-client-grouping" defines the configuration for just
"HTTP" part of a protocol stack. It does not, for instance,
define any configuration for the "TCP" or "TLS" protocol layers
(for that, see Section 2.1.2.3).
* Beyond configuring the client's identity, via the "http-client-
identity-grouping" grouping discussed in Section 2.1.2.1, this
grouping defines support for HTTP-proxies, albeit it must be
enabled via a "feature" statement.
* The "proxy-connect" node is a "presence" container so the
mandatory descendant nodes do not imply that this node must be
configured, assuming the server supports the "proxy-connect"
feature.
* For the referenced grouping statement(s):
- The "http-client-identity-grouping" grouping is discussed in
Section 2.1.2.1.
- The "tcp-client-grouping" grouping is discussed in
Section 3.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server].
- The "tls-client-grouping" grouping is discussed in
Section 3.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server].
2.1.2.3. The "http-client-stack-grouping" Grouping
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "http-client-
stack-grouping" grouping:
grouping http-client-stack-grouping:
+-- (transport)
+--:(tcp) {tcp-supported}?
| +-- tcp
| +-- tcp-client-parameters
| | +---u tcpc:tcp-client-grouping
| +-- http-client-parameters
| +---u http-client-grouping
+--:(tls) {tls-supported}?
+-- tls
+-- tcp-client-parameters
| +---u tcpc:tcp-client-grouping
+-- tls-client-parameters
| +---u tlsc:tls-client-grouping
+-- http-client-parameters
+---u http-client-grouping
Watsen Expires 19 October 2023 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Groupings for HTTP Clients and Servers April 2023
Comments:
* The "http-client-stack-grouping" is a convenience grouping for
consuming modules. It defines both the "HTTP" and "HTTPS"
protocol stacks, with each option enabled by a "feature" statement
for application control.
* For the referenced grouping statement(s):
- The "tcp-client-grouping" grouping is discussed in
Section 3.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server].
- The "tls-client-grouping" grouping is discussed in
Section 3.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server].
- The "http-client-grouping" grouping is discussed in
Section 2.1.2.2 in this document.
2.1.3. Protocol-accessible Nodes
The "ietf-http-client" module defines only "grouping" statements that
are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes.
2.2. Example Usage
This section presents two examples showing the http-client-grouping
populated with some data.
The following example illustrates an HTTP client connecting directly
to an HTTP server.
<!-- The outermost element below doesn't exist in the data model. -->
<!-- It simulates if the "grouping" were a "container" instead. -->
<http-client xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-http-client">
<client-identity>
<basic>
<user-id>bob</user-id>
<cleartext-password>secret</cleartext-password>
</basic>
</client-identity>
</http-client>
The following example illustrates the same client connecting through
an HTTP proxy. This example is consistent with examples presented in
Section 2.2 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-trust-anchors] and Section 2.2 of
[I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore].

3. The "ietf-http-server" Module
This section defines a YANG 1.1 module called "ietf-http-server". A
high-level overview of the module is provided in Section 3.1.
Examples illustrating the module's use are provided in Examples
(Section 3.2). The YANG module itself is defined in Section 3.3.
3.1. Data Model Overview
This section provides an overview of the "ietf-http-server" module in
terms of its features and groupings.
3.1.1. Features
The following diagram lists all the "feature" statements defined in
the "ietf-http-server" module:
Features:
+-- client-auth-supported
+-- local-users-supported
+-- basic-auth
+-- tcp-supported
+-- tls-supported
The diagram above uses syntax that is similar to but not defined in
[RFC8340].
Watsen Expires 19 October 2023 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft Groupings for HTTP Clients and Servers April 2023
3.1.2. Groupings
The "ietf-http-server" module defines the following "grouping"
statements:
* http-server-grouping
* http-server-stack-grouping
Each of these groupings are presented in the following subsections.
3.1.2.1. The "http-server-grouping" Grouping
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "http-server-
grouping" grouping:
grouping http-server-grouping:
+-- server-name? string
+-- client-authentication! {client-auth-supported}?
+-- users {local-users-supported}?
+-- user* [user-id]
+-- user-id? string
+-- (auth-type)
+--:(basic)
+-- basic {basic-auth}?
+-- user-id? string
+-- password? ianach:crypt-hash
Comments:
* The "http-server-grouping" defines the configuration for just
"HTTP" part of a protocol stack. It does not, for instance,
define any configuration for the "TCP" or "TLS" protocol layers
(for that, see Section 3.1.2.2).
* The "server-name" node defines the HTTP server's name, as
presented to HTTP clients.
* The "client-authentication" node, which must by enabled by a
feature, defines a very simple user-database. Only the "basic"
authentication scheme is supported, albeit it must be enabled by a
"feature". Other authentication schemes MAY be augmented in.
3.1.2.2. The "http-server-stack-grouping" Grouping
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] illustrates the "http-server-
stack-grouping" grouping:
Watsen Expires 19 October 2023 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft Groupings for HTTP Clients and Servers April 2023
grouping http-server-stack-grouping:
+-- (transport)
+--:(tcp) {tcp-supported}?
| +-- tcp
| +-- tcp-server-parameters
| | +---u tcps:tcp-server-grouping
| +-- http-server-parameters
| +---u http-server-grouping
+--:(tls) {tls-supported}?
+-- tls
+-- tcp-server-parameters
| +---u tcps:tcp-server-grouping
+-- tls-server-parameters
| +---u tlss:tls-server-grouping
+-- http-server-parameters
+---u http-server-grouping
Comments:
* The "http-server-stack-grouping" is a convenience grouping for
consuming modules. It defines both the "HTTP" and "HTTPS"
protocol stacks, with each option enabled by a "feature" statement
for application control.
* For the referenced grouping statement(s):
- The "tcp-server-grouping" grouping is discussed in
Section 4.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-tcp-client-server].
- The "tls-server-grouping" grouping is discussed in
Section 4.1.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server].
- The "http-server-grouping" grouping is discussed in
Section 3.1.2.1 in this document.
3.1.3. Protocol-accessible Nodes
The "ietf-http-server" module defines only "grouping" statements that
are used by other modules to instantiate protocol-accessible nodes.
3.2. Example Usage
This section presents an example showing the http-server-grouping
populated with some data.

4. Security Considerations
4.1. The "ietf-http-client" YANG Module
The "ietf-http-client" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that
are designed to be accessed via YANG based management protocols, such
as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Both of these protocols
have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS)
with mutual authentication.
The Network Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means
to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of
all available protocol operations and content.
Since the module in this document only define groupings, these
considerations are primarily for the designers of other modules that
use these groupings.
Watsen Expires 19 October 2023 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft Groupings for HTTP Clients and Servers April 2023
One readable data node defined in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. This node is
as follows:
* The "client-identity/basic/password" node:
The cleartext "password" node defined in the "http-client-
identity-grouping" grouping is additionally sensitive to read
operations such that, in normal use cases, it should never be
returned to a client. For this reason, the NACM extension
"default-deny-all" has been applied to it.
Please be aware that this module uses the "key" and "private-key"
nodes from the "ietf-crypto-types" module
[I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types], where said nodes have the NACM
extension "default-deny-all" set, thus preventing unrestricted read-
access to the cleartext key values.
None of the writable data nodes defined in this YANG module are
considered sensitive or vulnerable in network environments. The NACM
"default-deny-write" extension has not been set for any data nodes
defined in this module.
Please be aware that this module uses groupings from the "ietf-tls-
client" and "ietf-tls-server" modules defined in
[I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server]. All of the data nodes defined
in these groupings have the NACM extension "default-deny-write" set,
thus preventing unrestricted write-access to the data nodes defined
in those groupings.
This module does not define any RPCs, actions, or notifications, and
thus the security consideration for such is not provided here.
4.2. The "ietf-http-server" YANG Module
The "ietf-http-server" YANG module defines "grouping" statements that
are designed to be accessed via YANG based management protocols, such
as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Both of these protocols
