Protocol clients can find out if a protocol server has enabled tokenized sharing links, and whether existing tokenized sharing links are available for a particular document. The client can retrieve existing tokenized sharing links or generate new ones, and then share the links with other users who can attempt to use them to gain access to the document. In the case of an anonymous access link the users can be guest users, who can then access the document through the link without being authenticated by the server. A common usage of the protocol’s methods is as follows:
The protocol client requests protocol versions supported by the protocol server.
The protocol server responds with a set of supported protocol versions.
The protocol client asks the protocol server for a summary of all sharing capabilities that are provided by the server.
The protocol server responds with a collection of information about the server’s sharing capabilities.
The protocol client asks the protocol server for detailed information about a particular document.
The protocol server responds with detailed information about the document’s sharing attributes.
The protocol client sends a request to the protocol server to retrieve tokenized sharing links for a document.
The protocol server responds with information about the requested tokenized sharing links.
The protocol client sends a request to the protocol server to generate new tokenized sharing links or clear the links for a document.
The protocol server responds with results about the request to generate or clear tokenized sharing links
The following diagram shows the exchange.
