== Client Example ==
<pre>
 
// all notifications will be sent to the system message handler.
 
navigator.mozSetMessageHandler("push", function(e) {
 
  e.target.result.topic == This is the topic that is being observed
  e.target.result.version == This is the current version for this topic
 
});
 
 
// to register to listen for a notification,
// you simply call push.register and pass an
// topic of interest:
 
var req = navigator.push.register("topic");
 
 
// success callback
req.onsuccess(e) = function() {
 
  e.target.result.pushEndpoint
  e.target.result.pushRequestID
}
 
req.onerror() = function(e) {}
 
// to unregister, you simply call..
 
req = navigator.push.unregister("topic");
req.onsuccess() = function() {}
req.onerror() = function() {}
 
</pre>
 
 
== Server API ==
 
We will use a RESTful API to interact with the Push Server.
 
The Push Server URL is returned to the client as a result of calling register().  The <i>pushEndpoint</i> is the URL to the Push Server.
 
=== Registering with Push Server ===
 
<i>pushEndpoint</i>/register
 
These query parameters are required with each registration:
 
* API Key
** TBD
** <i>key</i> is the query parameter name
* pushRequestID
** <i>pushRequestID</i> is the query parameter name.
** The value of pushRequestID must be the result returned to the client as a result of calling register().
 
These query parameters are optional with each registration:
 
* Network Association
** <i>network</i>
** This may be a identification string that represents where the the client can also be reached at. 
** We need some way to say this client can be notified on another network (via UDP instead of a long poll)
** For example "&network=telefica"
 
Example:
<pre>
  GET http://push.mozilla.org/register?key=<apikey>&pushRequestID=<pushRequestID>
</pre>
 
If the request succeeds, the server responds with a 200 OK HTTP status code and the following JSON:
 
<pre>
// tbd
{
  "result": {}
}
</pre>
 
=== Un-registering with Push Server ===
 
<i>pushEndpoint</i>/unregister
 
These query parameters are required with each un-registration:
 
* API Key
** TBD
** <i>key</i> is the query parameter name
* pushRequestID
** <i>pushRequestID</i> is the query parameter name.
** The value of pushRequestID must be the result returned to the client as a result of calling register().
 
Example:
<pre>
  GET http://push.mozilla.org/unregister?key=<apikey>&pushRequestID=<pushRequestID>
</pre>
 
If the request succeeds, the server responds with a 200 OK HTTP status code and the following JSON:
 
<pre>
// tbd
{
  "result": {}
}
</pre>
 
=== Notify Push Server of a new version ===
 
<i>pushEndpoint</i>/update
 
These query parameters are required with each un-registration:
 
* API Key
** TBD
** <i>key</i> is the query parameter name
* pushRequestID
** <i>pushRequestID</i> is the query parameter name.
** The value of pushRequestID must be the result returned to the client as a result of calling register().
* Version
** <i>version</i> is the query parameter name.
** The value of version is the most current version number of the object referenced by pushRequestID
 
Example:
<pre>
  GET http://push.mozilla.org/unregister?key=<apikey>&pushRequestID=<pushRequestID>&version=<version>
</pre>
 
If the request succeeds, the server responds with a 200 OK HTTP status code and the following JSON:
 
<pre>
// tbd
{
  "result": {}
}
</pre>
