+  BIP: 71
+  Title: Payment Protocol MIME types
+  Author: Gavin Andresen <gavinandresen@gmail.com>
+  Status: Draft
+  Type: Standards Track
+  Created: 29-07-2013
+</pre>
+
+==Abstract==
+
+This BIP defines a MIME (RFC 2046) Media Type for Bitcoin payment
+request messages.
+
+==Motivation==
+
+Wallet or server software that sends payment protocol messages over
+email or http should follow Internet standards for properly
+encapsulating the messages.
+
+==Specification==
+
+The Media Type (Content-Type in HTML/email headers) for bitcoin
+protocol messages shall be:
+
+{|
+| Message || Type/Subtype
+|-
+| PaymentRequest || application/bitcoin-paymentrequest
+|-
+| Payment || application/bitcoin-payment
+|-
+| PaymentACK || application/bitcoin-paymentack
+|}
+
+Payment protocol messages are encoded in binary.
+
+==Example==
+
+A web server generating a PaymentRequest message to initiate the
+payment protocol would precede the binary message data with the
+following headers:
+<pre>
+Content-Type: application/bitcoin-paymentrequest
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
+</pre>
