is it possible for me to make connection between ASP script (web-base application) and "now sms/mms gateway" ?

is there any serverobjects/component(.dll) so that my ASP scripts can control the gateway?

Hi Hendri,

By control, do you mean submit messages?

I posted a simple ASP.NET example at the following link that you might find helpful:

hi bryce, thanks for the response..

well..what i want to develop is stand alone web-aplication (for intranet actually).
so the connection is just between "now sms gateway application" and my web aplication(using ASP script).
basicly, to comunicate with other aplication, asp usually use defined COM(.dll) that installed in the server.So we can control the aplication by creating the COM object.

eg:
obj=server.CreateObject("appname.connection")

well, Can i do that with "now sms/mms gateway aplication" ?do we have COM object so that i can control the receiving and sending messages?

thanks

Hi Hendri,

No, we don't have an object like that.

Our interface is HTTP based. So basically what you are doing is creating an object that issues a WebRequest.

The ASP.NET example in the above referenced thread is pretty good. You end up with a "SendSMS" function that you can call, and it automatically creates the WebObject and builds the URL request to submit to NowSMS.

I've also had some ASP developers use ASPTear for the HTTP interfacing.

Here's an older link that might have some other alternative approaches for the HTTP interfacing from ASP, if you're not using ASP.NET:

http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/252.html

All of this talk has focused on sending messages. When it comes to receiving messages, NowSMS is going to call one of your scripts (you configure the URL that you want NowSMS to call) to pass you a received message. We call this the "2-way" interface, and it is described here:

Hi Rahul,
We are working on a similar scenario. Can you let me know some specs of the J2ME app you have developed?
Can I test/use your app?
