Hi Bryce, 1-Is there a way I can request for a delivery report through a parameter in URL to NowSMS gateway? Are there any other methods to request for a delivery or read receipt on NowSMS gateway? 2-Can you point me to a sample which specifically demonestrates forward-locking and DRM on NowSMS gateway? 3-Where can I get a complete list of NowSMS configuration INI parameters? TIA Saeed | |||

Hi Saeed, 1.) Are you looking for this with regard to SMS or MMS? With SMS, we only support this via an SMPP connection (and there is some support for this with GSM modems in the latest update http://www.nowsms.com/download/nowsms550e.zip). You can add the parameter "&ReceiptRequested=Yes" to request a delivery notification for an SMS. There is no concept of a read receipt in SMS. For MMS, you can request a delivery notification by including MMSDeliveryReport=Yes in the URL request (or as a post variable). Or you can use the standard headers for requesting this via MM7, MM4, MM1 or EAIF. Read receipts were only available when submitting via MM7, MM4, MM1 or EAIF ... but in the update version that I referenced above, we did add support via MMS URL parameters (or post variables). The update includes a new form on the web page for submitting an MMS message. Unfortunately, I don't have docs yet on the variable names, but they should be visible in the HTML form. Use caution when requesting a read receipt. That actually causes the receiving client to send a message ... and on some operator systems, the user might be charged for sending a read receipt. Also note that the user is almost always prompted as to whether or not to send a read receipt, and they can decline. 2.) Try the checkbox on the web form as a starting point. There is also an example of forward lock toward the end of the following thread: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/3292.html 3.) There isn't one comprehensive source, although hopefully we will do one before long. The readme files (and patch.txt in the above referenced update) are the only source, apart from random postings here. -bn | |||
