 The asset server treats all stored content as binary blobs with content types. Some content types can have special handlers that expose additional methods or metadata, such as image/jp2 returning extended metadata for the number of image components and byte offsets of the quality layers. However, no special handling is needed for storing and serving up data. To store ShockWave Flash files, use the content-type application/x-shockwave-flash and upload a .swf file.
-To maintain compatibility with existing virtual worlds, MIME types have been defined for the existing OpenSim asset types. It is important that the correct content-type is used for uploads. The following table shows the mapping between OpenSim assets, commonly used file extensions, and content-types. Note that some of the formats used already have recognized MIME types. Anything starting with application/x-metaverse is ad hoc.

 The inventory reference protocol is a work in progress. Leave notes on the discussion page for this document or start a thread on the [https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev opensim-dev] mailing list if you'd like to be a part of the process.
-== OpenSim Asset Protocol ==
+== OpenSimulator Asset Protocol ==
-The OpenSim.Grid.AssetServer.exe protocol uses a REST interface for retrieving and storing assets. Assets are fetched with a GET to /assets/[assetid] or /assets/[assetid]?texture. The additional ?texture parameter is optional and does not change the response in any way. Asset data and metadata are returned in an XML format, with the asset data base64 encoded as an XML element. To upload, the same XML data structure that is received from a GET is POSTed to /assets/. The XML data is serialized from a class in OpenSim code, therefore the structure is subject to change. The current XML serialization is undocumented outside of source code.

 OpenSim.Grid.InventoryServer.exe supports both a REST-like interface and an XML-RPC interface. Although the former interface shares some similar properties with a REST interface, it defines an additional messaging layer using HTTP POSTs of XML data for all requests. The REST-like interface is actually somewhere between SOAP and XML-RPC.

 == Authentication ==
-If an asset is protected, an identity must be proven by a client (and that identity authorized to access the asset) before access is granted. Internally the asset server stores identities as URLs. A number of different methods of proving client identity can be used depending on the setup of the asset server. The reference asset server has OpenID login support at http://[yourserver.com]/authenticate. This is a simple OpenID login process that can happen over the reference JSON protocol, or through web forms. If the OpenID provider being used is setup with a well formed login method (such as the current OpenSim user server), the entire process can happen without user intervention. Once the OpenID authentication has completed, a UUID token will be returned to the client. Optionally, a cookie will be returned as well containing the same token. This token is a temporary proof of identity that can be used in the Authorization header when requesting assets.

This token is a temporary proof of identity that can be used in the Authorization header when requesting assets.
 Instead of directly logging into the asset server, a common grid setup may be that the login server contacts an asset server that it knows about to inform it of a successful login and create a temporary session token. This token could be passed back to the client to avoid having to login to both the login server and asset server. Another setup may involve the client using an SSL client certificate signed by an authority that the asset server trusts. The different methods of authenticating allow flexibility between creating a loose, decentralized set of grids and services and a tightly coupled closed or semi-closed grid.
