Hi, We made this change starting with the initial NowSMS 2006 release, because we were getting a lot of customer complaints where their 2-way scripts were getting the same message over and over again. The issue was that some scripting languages (most notably ASP.Net) will choke on certain characters, especially "<" and ">", unless you follow special procedures in your script. In these situations, NowSMS would call the script with the message data over and over again, and the script would return an error code, but the script would actually partially process the message. After quite a few support incidents encountering this problem, we implemented a change where if a 2-way script returns an error code, the message is renamed with a ".BAD" extension. If there is a problem connecting to the 2-way script (such as the web server not being available), then NowSMS will continue to retry. It is possible to rename any ".BAD" files to ".IN" files to force them to be reprocessed. -- Malcolm Now Wireless Support | |||
