Hello,

I am using NowSMS to send wap push
The wap push points to an asp page which is as follows:-(just displays wml with a link inside)

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml"><%Response.ContentType = "text/vnd.wap.wml"%>
<wml>
<card id="card1" title="test Polyphonic">
<p>
<a href= "http://www.mydomain.com/dwnl/mmspoly/test.mid" > download here </a>
</p>
</card>
</wml>


The link points to a midi file

The problem is that i am able to download the file from my PC, but from my mobile( Nokia 6600), when i click on the download link i get requeted page can not be displayed

same behaviour is noticed with amr and 3gp, while wav, gif are being downloaded normally.

My web server ( hosting the files to be downloaded) is IIS5 on windows2000 server . I tried playing with IIS mime types to no avail.

I am able to download amr files from a 3rd party truetones provider.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Mounir,

I suspect a Mime Type Issue, in the case of unvalid URL NowSMS shouldn't send the WAP Push, so for download issue, we will wait Bryce, mainwhile I will send you the mime type format to add in your IIS tomorrow, because we face similar problem previous weeks....

Regards,
Salim.

Hi Mounir,

It definitely sounds like a MIME type issue. Some common MIME type mappings that you would need for MIDI, AMR and 3GPP video would be:

.amr=audio/amr
.midi=audio/midi
.mid=audio/midi
.3gp=video/3gpp

What if you try posting the content via the Multimedia WAP Push function in NowSMS (assuming that you have NowSMS on a publicly accessible IP, with firewall open to allow access to the "HTTP Port" for the MMSC ... and the "Local Host Name or IP Address" setting on the "MMSC" page of the configuration configured for the public IP address or host name). I suggest this because I know that NowSMS would set the MIME type correctly in these instances.

Also, here's a link to Microsoft Technet with information on how to configure MIME types in IIS 6:

And here's the same info for IIS 4 & 5:
