Hi Bryce. I got a problem with the HTTP connections in smsgw.ini. The problem is hard to explain, but here goes. You know the thing we use with adding a fake domainname in the windows host file ? An example could be "bryce1.domain.com" resolves to ip "111.111.111.111" So in smsgw.ini that would be something like this: "Modem19=HTTP - bryce1.domain.com:80" [HTTP - bryce1.domain.com:80] charset=iso-8859-1 SenderAddress=1313 UserName= Password= TemplateText=/PARAMS TemplateBinary=/PARAMS ServerType=Custom HTTPUseAuth=No SendLongMessage=Yes UseSSL=No Now what if the receiving server did not support this fake domainname? Would it be possible to do something else here ? Add multiple domains ? Add ip addresses ? Anything... I know it could be solved by using the correct domainname on the receiving server, but i cannot do that due to my own setup. I know it sounds confusing, but if i have to keep running my current setup, i need to do some weird stuff here so that the HEADERS in the GET to the receiving server get the right domainname. | |||

Actually the problem is beginning to become quite common. More and more gateways wants to encode their own wappush messages which forces me/us not to use the "TEMPLATEBINARY=". We have to use the "TEMPLATETEXT=". The way that the receiving gateway differs between sms messages and wappush messages are in the GET data we send to them is if there is a "&wapurl=http://something&text=your content", the receiving gateways takes it for being a wappush. If its not there then they take it for being a sms message. That forces me to make 2 connections to the same gateway in smsgw.ini so that i have one TemplateText with the wapurl parameter, and one without this parameter. So i can make one connection with the real domainname, and one with a fake domainname where my HOST- file points to that IPnumber. But now i am stuck with a gateway where they do not support the fake domainname and they do not wish to change it. Do you know any other method to do the trick ? ;)Lars | |||

Hi Lars, The "HOSTS" file entry trick is no longer necessary. I don't remember exactly when we changed it , but you'll see that if you add a second (or third, etc.) connection to the same host, that the host name will get appended with a suffix like "#2" in the SMSC list. -bn | |||

My Nowsms version 5.5m does NOT add a suffix like #2. I got these 2 conns: Modem1=HTTP - 1.1.1.1:80 Modem2=HTTP - 1.1.1.1:80 [HTTP - 1.1.1.1:80] charset=iso-8859-1 SenderAddress=1111 UserName=abc Password=cba TemplateText=/shortcodemapping/?mobile=@@PhoneNumber@@&so-on TemplateBinary=/shortcodemapping/?mobile=@@PhoneNumber@@&so-on ServerType=Custom HTTPUseAuth=No SendLongMessage=Yes UseSSL=No SenderAddressOverride=Yes [HTTP - 1.1.1.1:80] charset=iso-8859-1 SenderAddress=1112 UserName=abc Password=cba TemplateText=/shortcodemapping/?mobile=@@PhoneNumber@@&so-on TemplateBinary=/shortcodemapping/?mobile=@@PhoneNumber@@&so-on ServerType=Custom HTTPUseAuth=No SendLongMessage=Yes UseSSL=No Am i doing something wrong ? | |||

Found the error. I made some errors manually in smsgw.ini It should look like this: Modem1=HTTP - 1.1.1.1:80 [HTTP - 1.1.1.1:80] charset=iso-8859-1 SenderAddress=1111 UserName=abc Password=cba TemplateText=/shortcodemapping/?mobile=@@PhoneNumber@@&so-on TemplateBinary=/shortcodemapping/?mobile=@@PhoneNumber@@&so-on ServerType=Custom HTTPUseAuth=No SendLongMessage=Yes UseSSL=No SenderAddressOverride=Yes [HTTP - 1.1.1.1#2:80] charset=iso-8859-1 SenderAddress=1112 UserName=abc Password=cba TemplateText=/shortcodemapping/?mobile=@@PhoneNumber@@&so-on TemplateBinary=/shortcodemapping/?mobile=@@PhoneNumber@@&so-on ServerType=Custom HTTPUseAuth=No SendLongMessage=Yes UseSSL=No | |||

Another problem... If i want to use the #2 connection, i send this to nowsms in my GET data: "&Sender=1112". But nowsms still uses the first connection where the SenderAddress=1111 Why??? | |||
