Hi, 1. By determining whether or not the URL that you sent in the push was requested. Because WAP gateways are usually in the middle, you can't really know if a file has been downloaded completely, you only know if it has been requested. 2. This is operator specific, and in most cases, the answer is no. (The issue is whether or not the operator sends the phone number in the HTTP header when processing a request. For privacy reasons, this is not normally transmitted.) Basically, if you want to do some tracking, you need to generate dynamic URLs when you send out the push. For example, using the Multimedia WAP Push function in NowSMS, it is possible to request a delivery report that will be triggered when the recipient opens up the dynamically generated push URL. To request a delivery report, include MMSDeliveryReport=Yes as a variable in the request when submitting the Multimedia WAP Push. The delivery report will tell you that the particular phone number retrieved the request. If you are submitting through one of the MMS APIs (MM7, MM4/SMTP) to send a WAP Push then you need to request a delivery report in the request the same what that you would for an MMS message. For MM4: X-Mms-Delivery-Report: Yes For MM7: <DeliveryReport>true</DeliveryReport> -bn |
