Hello everyone! New to NowSMS but relatively knowledgeable with mobile technology, I ran into the following problem: My provider's MMSC (or more accurately its WAP gateway) fails to recognize the way NowSMS identifies itself while retrieving MMS payloads (using MM1 over GPRS). Since it cannot find a matching User Agent, it renders the media for the most premitive device - and deletes all other content other than text (puts in an XML file stub with the filename and a "deleted" qualifier). How can I make Now SMS indentify itself as a normal, well-known MMS capable UA? (like a Nokia 3510 for example) I believe my provider is using LogicaCMG's MMSC. Would be very greatful for any hint given :-) Somi. | |||

Hi Somi, We've added configuration settings for specifying custom "User-Agent:" and "Profile:" headers in the MM1 transactions. I'm going to send an update with this support to the e-mail address in your profile. If for some reason you do not receive this, please e-mail me at nowsms@now.co.uk, and I will resend in reply. Details of the setting available in this update: * MMS over GPRS: Add support for inserting custom "User-Agent:" and "Profile:" headers when submitting/retrieving MMS messages from an operator MMSC. To insert a custom "User-Agent:" header, add a setting to MMSC.INI, under the [MMSC] section header of HeaderUserAgent=string. Similarly, use a setting of HeaderProfile=http://profileurl for setting a custom "Profile:" header. -bn |
