I could not find a simple sample code of how I should code HTML page to properly send SMS (I get this error in SMSOUT log file: Command not completed. Request returned invalid content type: text/html) Basically I want to use 2-Way SMS, where I send SMS from phone_1, nowsms will redirect the user to an http page (with the help of phone_2 acting as modem), and nowsms will send back content of that page to the phone_1. I tried sending http request to a simple html page: less sign META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html"> this is a test to a php page with syntax less sign ?php header ('Content-Type:text/html');?> this is a test or even a simpler php page Content-Type: text/html this is a test but nothing. Please note that I used less sign as an indicator. I keep getting the error "Command not completed. Request returned invalid content type: text/html" in the log file and also I receive it in phone_1. Thanks in advance for directing me in the right direction (an html code example [for php or for asp] would be much appreciated). Pete | |||

Pete, Change the content type to "text/plain" ... not "text/html". That sounds like what the problem is ... if a direct response is returned via HTTP, NowSMS wants to see "text/plain" as the content type. You might also want to take a look at this link: 2-Way SMS Returning a Non-Text Response It talks about how you can use an HTTP redirect response back to the gateway from a 2-way HTTP command to make the gateway send out a message. -bn | |||

Thank you Bryce. Not only nowsms is a great software, support is outstanding. Keep up the good work! Pete P.S. I read instructions over and over and somehow I never bothered to look closer at the content type. Everywhere it says text/plain but I was reading text/html (can you tell I am a web developer?) |
