A Feedbag is the stored Buddy List and server based preferences for an AIM user. The client has direct access to manipulate the Feedbag in any way it sees fit, including corrupting it. The server has some checks in place to prevent destruction, but a client developer must be careful not to corrupt things.

Terms

Class
All the entries in the Feedbag are assigned a class, which defines the characteristics of how they should behave. The class is represented by a numeric classId with each entry.
Item
An item is a generic term that is used for any entry that can be added to a user's Feedbag. An item can be a group, a Buddy, a preference, a permit/deny entry, or anything else. All items have a name (which can be empty), a groupId, an itemId, a classId, and attributes with groupId and itemId being unique. The groupId and itemId can have values between 0 and 32767; values between 32768 and 65535 are reserved. The client is responsible for picking new groupId and itemIds.
Group
A group is a special type of item that is always represented by using an itemId of 0 and classId of GROUP. All items live inside of a group, with items that use a groupId of 0 being called in the Root Group. All group items have an ORDER attribute that describes how the items in the group should be ordered, since the order in Feedbag can be random.

Implementation Overview

A Feedbag consists of zero or more items. Feedbags are interpreted by the server and the client. All strings in Feedbag are UTF8 encoded.

It is mandated that only users or the server shall delete information from the user's Feedbag. A client may not delete, or "forget", information if it does not support or recognize the information; deleting corrupt items is permitted.

For instance, a user loads a special Buddy tagging plugin on a machine at home but does not have this plugin at work. Changes made to the user's Feedbag (aka, Buddy List) at work shall not delete (or "forget") the user's Buddy tagging plugin attributes from the Feedbag.

Finally, subject to the rules outlined below, all items in the Feedbag are optional. If a client does not see an item or attribute on an item, it should adopt a sensible default. For example, if the PDINFO item is not present, the client should assume permit-all mode.

Root Group

In any Feedbag that contains groups there should exist a 'root group' that has an empty name, group id 0, item id 0, and a class id 1 (GROUP). This root group contains the group ordering in an ORDER attribute. If the root group does not exist and a group is to be added, the client should create the root group first. The Root Group should never be deleted by the client.

Note that some classes of items can only be in the root group and some classes of items can only be in regular groups. For example, buddies can only be in regular groups but permit/deny entries can only be in the root group. See the class enumerations for more information where items can exist.

Ordering of Feedbag

For a FEEDBAG__REPLY, the items in the Feedbag are guaranteed to be ordered. They are sorted by group id and then by item id. Thus, the root group is first, followed by groupless items (permits, denies, etc.), followed by the group with the lowest group id, followed by its items, followed by the next group, etc.

Display of Buddy List

A client can offer several methods for sorting the display of the Buddy List. One of the offered methods should be the "Natural Order" which is calculated by using the ORDER attribute of each group. A client should NOT use the order of items in the Feedbag for display, since the items can be in random order. If a user reorders their Buddy List, only the ORDER attribute needs to be changed; the itemIds should stay the same.

Naming rules

The root group must have "" for its name.

Regular groups must have unique names independent of case (e.g., if you have a group "abc", you can also have "a b c" but not "aBc"). This is the way the old client worked, so we need to keep it this way.

Items in the root group must have unique compressed names for their class (e.g., if you have an item "abc" with class==PERMIT, you cannot have "aBc" or "a b c" with class==PERMIT, but you could have "abc" with class==DENY).

Classes limited to a single item, such as Buddy-prefs and pdinfo, should have "" for the name of the item.

Items in groups must have unique compressed names in the group (e.g., if you have a Buddy "abc" in a group, you cannot have a Buddy "a bc").

Preventing corruption

In an effort to prevent corruption of the order attribute, when the client adds a Buddy/group, the client should only send the INSERT/UPDATE for the group/root after the INSERT for the Buddy/group returns its STATUS. This way if there is a failure, the ORDER can be fixed before it is sent in the INSERT/UPDATE. In cases where a group and a Buddy are added, this can mean sending the Buddy INSERT, waiting for the STATUS, sending the group INSERT, waiting for the STATUS, then sending the root INSERT/UPDATE.

Optimizations

The client should strive to optimize its transactions with the server. This means that even if several item attributes are changed by the user, the client should send only one UPDATE_ITEM. Additionally, the client should avoid sending redundant transactions such as an INSERT followed by an UPDATE (the INSERT alone will be sufficient) or an INSERT followed by a DELETE (nothing should be sent), or an UPDATE followed by a DELETE (just send the DELETE).

Sample

groupId itemId classId Name Attributes
0 0 GROUP(0) ORDER(200):321 10
0 1805 DENY(3) spimmer123
0 4046 BART(0x14) 0x05 BART_INFO(213): 00052b000013b9
0 12108 PDINFO(4) PD_MODE(202): 04
PD_MASK(203): ffffffff
PD_FLAGS(204): 00000001
0x0A 0 GROUP(1) Friends ORDER(200): 110 147
0x0A 110 BUDDY(0) ChattingChuck
0x0A 147 BUDDY(0) example@example.com
321 0 GROUP(1) Empty Group ORDER(200):

Special Notes

For email address-style usernames, such as @mac.com screen names to show up in a client's Buddy List, the client must be using a foodgroup version of 0x03. A client using an older version of the foodgroup will have any email address-style usernames sent as "PleaseUpgrade000", "PleaseUpgrade001", etc. The groupId and itemId are the same, because the names are still stored properly in the database. Once a user logs in with a newer client, all incorrect usernames will display correctly.

Item

This is a single Feedbag item.

TLV Class: FEEDBAG__ATTRIBUTES

The following attributes as found in TLVs of Items:

  • The range 0x0000 - 0x0063 is reserved. At this point in time the server will reject any attribute value that is less than MIN_ATTR (0x0064). This is intended for later system use.
  • The range 0x0064 - 0x00C7 is reserved for attributes that can only be modified by the server. Clients should not attempt to change or remove these attributes. The server will reject any attribute value that hasn't been registered in this file.
  • The range 0x00C8 - 0x012B is reserved for attributes that have special meaning and ordinarily are hidden from the client by some form of abstraction. Clients that fully understand the meaning of these attributes can modify these attributes. The server will reject any attribute value that has not been registered in this file.
  • The range 0x012C - 0x270F is reserved for normal, client-modifiable attributes. The server will reject any attribute value that has not been registered in this file.
  • The range 0x2710 - 0x7FFF is free for use anywhere.

     About name of the item. It can be icq uin, aim screenname, group name or special id. SSI contains a "master group" which contains all other groups. Master group has a group ID# of 0x0000. All groups have item ID# of 0x0000. You can't have groups or items with same group/item ID#.

     Every item can have additional data stored as tlv chain. For example group item can store its buddy ID numbers in TLV(0x00C8). Buddy item may contain buddy comment in TLV(0x013C) or/and SMS number in TLV(0x013A) or/and alerts settings in TLV(0x013D). You can't add buddy that requires authorization without permission.

     Here is the list of known TLVs in additional data blob (itype - item type that may have this tlv in its data blob):

     [TLV(0x0066), itype 0x00, size 00] - Signifies that you are awaiting authorization for this buddy. The client is in charge of putting this TLV, but you will not receiving status updates for the contact until they authorize you, regardless if this is here or not. Meaning, this is only here to tell your client that you are waiting for authorization for the person. This TLV is always empty.

     [TLV(0x00C8), itype 0x01, size XX] - If group is the master group, this contains the group ID#s of all groups in the list. If the group is a normal group, this contains the buddy ID#s of all buddies in the group. Each ID# is 2 bytes. If there are no groups in the list (if in the master group), or no buddies in the group (if in a normal group), then this TLV is not present.

     [TLV(0x00C9), itype 0x05, size 04] - Unknown (contain 0x0000006f when others could not see idle time, contain 0x0000046f when others could see idle time).

     [TLV(0x00CA), itype 0x04, size 01] - This is the byte that tells the AIM servers your privacy setting. If 1, then allow all users to see you. If 2, then block all users from seeing you. If 3, then allow only the users in the permit list. If 4, then block only the users in the deny list. If 5, then allow only users on your buddy list.

     [TLV(0x00CB), itype 0x04, size 04] - This is a bit mask which tells the AIM servers which class of users you want to be visible to. If 0xffffffff, then all users can see you. If 0x00000004, then AIM users can not see you. See known user classes here.

     [TLV(0x00CC), itype 0x04, size 04] - Bitmask of flags containing "Allow others to see..." options. The default is 0x00000000. The flags are the following, logically ORed together:

  • 0x00000002 - Do not allow others to see that I am using a wireless device
  • 0x00000400 - Allow others to see my idle time
  • 0x00400000 - Allow others to see that I am typing a response

     [TLV(0x00CD), itype 0x09, size XX] - This item type (9) looks like ICQ2k shortcut list. Examples: "2672,0,2,1" and "3097,0,0,0"

     [TLV(0x00D4), itype 0x13, size 04] - TLV for import time item (type 0x0013). Contains timestamp in unix_t format (seconds since 1.1.1970) when the buddylist has been first time uploaded to the server

     [TLV(0x00D5), itype 0x14, size XX] - TLV for buddy icon info (type 0x0014). Contains the icon flags (1 byte), md5 hash size (1 byte) and md5 hash of the you are using (allways 16 bytes).

     [TLV(0x0131), itype 0x00, size XX] - This stores the name that the contact should show up as in the contact list. It should initially be set to the contact's nick name, and can be changed to anything by the client.

     [TLV(0x0137), itype 0x00, size XX] - Your buddy locally assigned mail address.

     [TLV(0x013A), itype 0x00, size XX] - Your buddy locally assigned SMS number.

     [TLV(0x013C), itype 0x00, size XX] - This stores the "buddy comment" field. The max length winaim lets you use is 0x0054. I'm not sure if that is a true limit or not.

     [TLV(0x013D), itype 0x00, size 02] - Personal alerts for this buddy.
First byte:

  • 0x01 - Pop up window notification
  • 0x02 - Play sound (sound file specified in 0x013e TLV)

Second byte:

  • 0x01 - When contact comes online
  • 0x02 - When contact becomes unidle
  • 0x04 - When contact returns from away

     [TLV(0x013E), itype 0x00, size XX] - Sound client should play as alert for this buddy.

     [TLV(0x0145), itype 0x00, size XX] - Date/time (unix time() format) when you send message to this you first time. Actually I noticed that ICQLite adds this TLV then you first open message dialog at this user. Also I've seen this tlv in LastUpdateDate item.
