IrOBEX (shortly OBEX) is a session protocol developed by the INFRARED Data Association (IrDA) to exchange objects in a simple and spontaneous manner. OBEX, which provides the same BASIC functionality as HTTP but in a much lighter fashion, uses a client-server model and is independent of the transport mechanism and transport API, provided it REALIZES a reliable transport base. Along with the protocol itself, the "grammar" for OBEX conversations between devices, OBEX also provides a model for representing objects and operations. In ADDITION, the OBEX protocol defines a folder-listing object, which is used to browse the contents of folders on remote device. In the first phase, RFCOMM is used as sole transport layer for OBEX.
