YANG Groupings for HTTP Clients and HTTP Servers
draft-kwatsen-netconf-http-client-server-00
Abstract
This document defines two YANG modules: the first defines a grouping
for configuring a generic HTTP client, and the second defines a
grouping for configuring a generic HTTP server. It is intended that
these groupings will be used by applications using the HTTP protocol.

1. Introduction
This document defines two YANG 1.1 [RFC7950] modules: the first
defines a grouping for configuring a generic HTTP client, and the
second defines a grouping for configuring a generic HTTP server. It
is intended that these groupings will be used by applications using
the HTTP protocol. For instance, these groupings could help define
the configuration module for an SSH, TLS, or HTTP based application.

5. Security Considerations
The YANG modules defined in this document 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, HTTP) with mutual
authentication.
The NETCONF 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 modules defined in this document only define groupings,
these considerations are primarily for the designers of other modules
that use these groupings.
There are a number of data nodes defined in the YANG modules that are
writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the
default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable
in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., edit-config)
Watsen Expires September 10, 2019 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft Groupings for HTTP Clients and Servers March 2019
to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative
effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes
and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
NONE
Some of the readable data nodes in the YANG modules may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or
notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data
nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
NONE
Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control access to these operations. These are the
operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
NONE
6. IANA Considerations
6.1. The IETF XML Registry
This document registers two URIs in the "ns" subregistry of the IETF
XML Registry [RFC3688]. Following the format in [RFC3688], the
following registrations are requested:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-http-client
Registrant Contact: The NETCONF WG of the IETF.
XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-http-server
Registrant Contact: The NETCONF WG of the IETF.
XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
6.2. The YANG Module Names Registry
This document registers two YANG modules in the YANG Module Names
registry [RFC6020]. Following the format in [RFC6020], the following
registrations are requested:
