While sending an MMS message over WSP protocol. I captured the MMS encapsulation data using Ethereal. I notice that the final value is a NULL value '00'. When I examine the .MMS file on NowSMS server that corresponds to this message. Instead of the final '00', there is a '__' character. With the MMS messaging software I am using, when I recieve this message I can't open it as it is incomplete. However, if I add the NULL '00' value to the .MMS file on NowSMS and recieve it I can open it. Is NowSMS server changing the final NULL into the '__'?

Hi Dan,

There is not a requirement for a final NULL character at the end of an MMS message. So I don't understand what you are referring to.

Perhaps you could upload some Ethereal logs, and one of these message files, and explain what bytes you are looking at or changing. Just put them in a ZIP, and upload the attachment in reply to this posting.
