Hi!

I got this message from NowSMS when I tried to submit a OTA setting for WAP. One of the operators here in Sweden do not use the PROXY setting for their network. Is this according to specifications or could it be a problem with NowSMS

PS. I am using the lastest patch from January DS.

Hi Micke,

You can create your own XML files for specialised requirements such as this.

I say this because I have tried to send out OTA settings without a proxy setting, and not all phones will accept them.

For Nokia Series 60 phones, I've found that sending out the old Nokia/Ericsson OTA format settings (what we refer to as "WAP OTA") works for sending connection settings without a proxy. You have to include a proxy in the settings (otherwise the phone will complain that the settings are invalid!) ... but the phone ignores the proxy setting because it doesn't support the type of proxy referenced by those settings.

There is more talk about this in the following thread:

http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/8569.html

To create your own XML, one trick is to use the XML generated by our forms as a starting point.

Edit SMSGW.INI, and under the [SMSGW] header, add DebugXmlSettings=Yes. Then restart the SMS service.

Every time you send settings, NowSMS will save a copy of the XML under the TEMP subdirectory of NowSMS. (Be sure to remove this setting when you have captured the settings that you want, otherwise the directory will fill up with files.)

If you find success, let me know what you find. It seems to be difficult to send out OTA settings without a proxy. This seems to be because the XML formats specify that the proxy fields are required settings ...
