When a Location Information Server receives a request for location
information (using the locationRequest message), described in the
base HTTP Enabled Location Delivery (HELD) specification, it uses the
source IP address of arriving message as a pointer to the location
determination process. This is sufficient in environments where an
Target's location can be determined based on its IP address.
Two additional use cases are addresses by this document. In the
first, the source IP address in the request is not the only
identifier for the Target. In the second, an entity other than the
Target requests the Target's location.
This document extends the HELD protocol to allow the location request
message to carry additional identifiers assisting the location
determination process. It defines a set of URIs for Target
identifiers and an XML containment schema. This extension is used in
conjunction with HELD to provide Target identification, and set of
criteria of when to use this extensions are provided. Examples and
usage in HELD message syntax are also shown.
