I have an mms file and I can send it via NowSMS interface. However I am unable to send it via http://server/?PhoneNumber=121221&MMSURL=http://www/a.mms any ideas on what may be wrong? | |||

Do you get an error message? When you send it through the menu interface, are you posting the content of the message itself (Send MMS Message), or sending it as a notification? If you are sending it by posting the content of the message itself when you go through the menu, then my best guess would be that the MIME type isn't setup correctly on the external server that you've stored the compiled MMS file on. (You should get an error to this effect.) If you are sending it as a notification through the menu interface and it is working ok, but not when you send direct, then I'm not sure what could be occurring. (Probably best to put the gateway into debug mode by manually editing SMSGW.INI ... add Debug=Yes under [SMSGW] section header, then restart the service. E-Mail the SMSDEBUG.LOG file to me at nowsms@now.co.uk, or post an excerpt here so that I can see what it says about the request.) -bn | |||

Bryce, I am posting the content itself, not the notification. What mime type should I set on the external server on which mms file is stored? | |||

Use "application/vnd.wap.mms-message" as the MIME type. | |||

P.S. - I should add ... the reason why the MIME type is important is because when you send a message in this way, NowSMS sends the URL directly "as is" to the phone. The phone will only accept the content if the MIME type is correct ... that's why we validate it first. | |||
