Hello Bryce! Could NowSMS team implement management of "AllowedUserOnly" via WebAdmin Interface (http GET requests)? I think that can be very useful for website's integration and automation of usage. Common task: 1. Query particular SMSC connection for allowed users list 2. Adding users 3. Removing users best regards, Alex K. | |||

Hi Alex, That is a good idea. I'll see if we can get that in the development queue. -bn | |||

Hi Bryce, What do you think about an idea to implement WebAdmin in Web Services API? best regards, Alex K. | |||

Hi Alex, That doesn't excite me as much. Mainly because it is outside of our area of expertise. Most of the items in our active development work list are new features or performance related. If you can give any examples of what you would like to see, we can take them into consideration. Detailed examples would be helpful. Then again ... as I think about it. I'm assuming that basically, you'd like to see the "/provision", "/dlists" and "/addrbook" interfaces be XML based. In which case, I don't really need an example from you ... but I want to make sure I understand what you're asking about. -bn | |||

Hi Bryce! Web Services would be very useful for: 1. Adminstartive tasks (like managing SMS user accounts; adding, removing and checking credits and so on) 2. Send SMS. 3. many more :-) The only and the main argument, that web services infrastrucute is nativ for .net framework. People who is programming for windows can add NowSMS functionality in their application in minutes. No need to understand how NoSMS's HTTP GET based API works. One step forward is to replace windows GUI with HTML menu. Like it done with /ADMIN. No need to use RDP anymore :-) regards, Alex K. | |||

Hi Alex, Conceptually, I like the ideas. But when it comes to web services, someone needs to give our engineers a crash course in ".net". They understand the lower level protocols very well ... but not ".net". For example, they asked me what data would be received by the NowSMS server in a ".net" request? I'm assuming that it would be XML, but I don't know what needs to be done to define a XML schema that could then be easily used by a ".net" application. We are looking at adding parameters to the provisioning interface for setting/querying the allowed users. But that is still a little ways down the development queue. -bn |
