Guidelines for Mapping Implementations:
HTTP to the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP)
Abstract
This document provides reference information for implementing a
cross-protocol network proxy that performs translation from the HTTP
protocol to the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP). This will
enable an HTTP client to access resources on a CoAP server through
the proxy. This document describes how an HTTP request is mapped to
a CoAP request and how a CoAP response is mapped back to an HTTP
response. This includes guidelines for status code, URI, and media
type mappings, as well as additional interworking advice.
