<h1>KGS Protocol Description</h1>

   <p>This XML document describes the KGS protocol. It is also used
   to automatically generate the perl parser for all the messages and
   structures in the protocol. Adapting it to other languages should be
   almost trivial.</p>

   <p><b>Please note that wms has told me that he will change the
   protocol in response to my efforts. No problems with changing the
   protocol for good, but he does this just to make it more difficult
   to reverse-engineer it, since his changes are neither required, nor
   useful (they just make the protocol less robust, without adding added
   value). He doesn't even care that this locks out some users who cannot
   upgrade (cgoban2 isn't available for their platform anymore). It hurts
   to see such a waste of time and efforts that could have been used to
   fix bugs or improve the client...</b></p>

   <p>If you feel you need to update the visual appearance of this
   document, feel free to look <tt>doc/doc2html.xsl</tt> and improve
   it.</p>

   <p>The current version of this document can always be found at 
   <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/kgsueme/kgsueme/doc/protocol.xml?rev=HEAD&amp;content-type=text/xml">here</a>, while
   the HTML version of it can be found
   <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/kgsueme/kgsueme/doc/protocol.html?rev=HEAD&amp;content-type=text/html">here</a>.
   (update: sourceforge is weeks behind on their anonymous cvs servers so the above might be out-of-date. sorry.)</p>

<h2>Structure and conventions of this document and the protocol</h2>

   <p>"ORIGIN: CLIENT" means messages send from the client to the server,
   while "ORIGIN: SERVER" means messages send by the server to the
   client.</p>

   <p>Everything on the wire is in little-endian format (what a shame).</p>

   <p>Primitive types are mostly integers (signed
   "<code>I</code>&lt;bits&gt;", unsigned "<code>U</code>&lt;bits&gt;"),
   ascii strings ("<code>username</code>"), or zero-terminated
   UCS2-Strings ("<code>STRING</code>"). Yes, I know java is supposed to
   do UTF-16, but no implementation seems to care...</p>

   <p>For the rest, go figure or bug me, <a href="mailto:pcg@goof.com">Marc Lehmann &lt;pcg@goof.com&gt;</a></p>

<h2>Stream and message structure.</h2>

   <p>After connecting to the server, a handshake byte is sent. It's
   the major version number of the protocol the client expects to
   receive. Version 3 and 4 are mostly the same, except that Version 4
   clients expect server messages to be compressed, version 3 clients
   not.</p>

   <p>The server sends back his protocol number, which is always 3 in
   the current protocol. Most of the protocol variation is determined by
   the server using the client version that is used in the initial login
   message, not the initial handshake byte.</p>

   <p>After the initial handshake, the client sends uncompressed
   messages, while the server sends back a zlib-compressed
   stream (<a href="http://rfc1950.x42.com/">rfc1950</a> and <a
   href="http://rfc1950.x42.com/">rfc1951</a>).</p>

   <p>All messages have the same header:</p>

   <struct name="message_header">
      <member name="_unknown" type="U16"/>
      <member name="length" type="U16"/>

      <p>The length is the length of the full message including the header.</p>

      <p>Beginning with version 2.5.x, a number is xored into the low
      byte of the length in <em>sent</em> packages only, as given by the
      following recurrence: <code>rand[0] = 0; rand[i+1] = msg[i].length
      + (rand[i] * 0x04c2af9b + 0xfffffffb); xorbyte = rand &gt;&gt;
      24</code>, all in 32 bit unsigned iso-c arithmetic.</p>

      <member name="type" type="U16"/>
      <p>If the type is &gt;= 0x4000 this is a message for a specific channel. The channel
      number is always the next U16.</p>

      <p>Beginning with version 2.5.x, a number is <em>added</em> on <em>received</em>
      messages only. The algorithm is as follows:
      
      <pre>
         msglen &lt; 44: type = typefield
         msglen &gt; 44: type = (typefield + rand[i]) % 0x10000
            rand[0] = 0
            rand[i+1] = username[type % length username] + rand[i] * (type - 0x6cdd)
               where username is the user name of the logged-in user. coooool.
      </pre>
      </p>

   </struct>

<h2>Primitive types used in the protocol.</h2>

   <p>Apart from the basic types, I need to define some extra types to
   deal with fixed-point values (based on integer types) or fixed-length
   strings (either 7-bit-ascii or more limited (<code>A</code>), or UCS-2
   based (<code>S</code>)).</p>

   <type name="username" type="A" length="10"/>

   <p>The basic user or login name, used throughout the protocol
   as a handle to the user.</p>

   <type name="roomname" type="S" length="25"/><!-- argh, how horribly broken -->

   <p>Many strings in the protocol are fixed-width for no good reason
   (maybe this is one reason for using compression in newer versions, as
   the packets itself are wasting lots of space.</p>

   <type name="realname" type="S" length="50"/>
   <type name="email" type="S" length="70"/>
   <type name="userinfo" type="S" length="1000"/>
   <type name="url" type="A" length="100"/>

   <p>Used in user_record.</p>

   <type name="locale" type="A" length="5"/>

   <p>A kind of locale specifier. It seems the general format seems to be
   lowercase language, underscore, uppercase location, e.g. en_US. More
   fancy specifications don't fit.</p>

   <type name="flag" type="U8" multiplier="1"/>

   <p>Just a simple boolean value. 0 means false, and 1 generally true,
   but I suggest accepting != 0 as true.</p>

   <type name="komi16" type="I16" multiplier="2"/>
   <type name="komi32" type="I32" multiplier="2"/>
   <type name="komi324" type="I32" multiplier="4"/>

   <p>Komi values are multiplied by 2 to make them integer in the
   protocol. Well, *most* of the time at least...</p>

   <type name="result" type="I32" multiplier="2"/>

   <p>The game result is also multiplied by two to give it higher
   resolution. There are also special values for wins by time etc., either
   in result or in the score* types, or both :)</p>

   <type name="score16" type="I16" multiplier="4"/>
   <type name="score32" type="I32" multiplier="4"/>
   <type name="score1000" type="I32" multiplier="1000"/>

   <p>A score value (used for displaying the score at the end of a game)
   are multiplied by four for a change (the 0.25 resolution is not
   used). In game structures it is encoded by dividing by two, though, so
   watch out! And in some others, it's encoded by multiplying by 1000...
   yuck!</p>

   <type name="time" type="U32" multiplier="1000"/>

   <p>Time values are multiplied by 1000, giving them millisecond
   accuracy.</p>

   <type name="timestamp" type="U64" multiplier="1000"/>

   <p>64 bit timeval, milliseconds since posix epoch, e.g. <code>my
   ($year, $month, $day) = (gmtime $date * 0.001)[5,4,3];</code></p>

   <type name="password" type="U64"/>

   <p>Password is a number calculated as follows (VERY insecure, basically
   plaintext!): <code>password = 0; for char in characters do password ←
   password * 1055 + ascii_code (char)</code></p>

<h2>Enumeration and set types used in the protocol.</h2>

<h2>Structs used in send &amp; receive messages</h2>

   <struct name="user" class="KGS::User">

      <p>Almost everywhere a user + flags is required, even used in some places
      where only a username is required. I see no general rule on when a
      complete user and when a partial user is required.</p>

      <member name="name" type="username"/>
      <member name="flags" type="U32" value="1"/>
   </struct>

   <struct name="rules" class="KGS::Rules">

      <p>This structure is used for challanges as well as in the special
      TREE "subprotocol". It tightly encodes the game parameters.</p>

      <member name="ruleset" type="U8"/>
      <member name="size" type="U8"/>
      <member name="handicap" type="U8"/>
      <member name="komi" type="komi16"/>

   </struct>

<h2>Structs used in messages from the client</h2>

<h2>Client-generated messages</h2>

   <message type="0000" name="login" src="client">

      <p>Sent to login, usually the first message sent. The password needs to be set when the
      guest flag is true.
      Possible replies: <ref reply="login"/>. Followed by: <ref reply="timewarning_default"/> <ref reply="chal_defaults"/>
      </p>

      <member name="ver_major" type="U32" value="2"/>
      <member name="ver_minor" type="U32" value="5"/>
      <member name="ver_micro" type="U32" value="2"/>
      <member name="name" type="username"/>
      <member name="password" type="password" value="0"/>
      <member name="guest" type="flag" value="1"/>
      <member name="_unknown3" type="U16" value="0"/>
      <member name="locale" type="locale" value='"en_US"'/>
      <member name="clientver" type="DATA" value='"1.4.1_01:Swing app:Sun Microsystems Inc."'/>
      The "default" is the java vm version, not exactly he client version. However,
      you should always send a text like "Jonathan's C client bersion 0.6" or somesuch,
      so the server can, if necessary, block broken clients or client versions.
