Requirement
Section 2.1: The participant agent MUST support DSP version 2025-1
Proof of Conformity
Proof of a successful execution of the DSP TCK 1.0.0 or a later bugfix version with DIDs as participant identifier. Note: At the point of writing these CACs, the TCK is available as RC6 only. Until the final 1.0.0 version is released, one of the latest two RCs or after the release only released versions of the TCK 1.0 are allowed to be used.

Requirement
Section 2.2.1:
Support of HTTPHTTP HTTP is an application-layer protocol for transmitting hypermedia documents (such as HTML). It was designed for communication between web browsers and web servers, but can also be used for other purposes.-Pull transfer type
The requirement becomes a MUST, if the transfer type is offered by the to-be-certified stack.
Proof of Conformity
- Use an Eclipse Tractus-X reference implementation connector
- Run a full cycle for the connector under test in both roles (provider and consumer)
- Setup a corresponding contract definition
- Catalog Request
- Contract Negotiation
- Transfer Process
- Initiate Transfer
A successful interaction is proof for the correctness of the setup
