Hi guys, I have developed a small Java Program which opens a URL Connection to NowSMS gateway installed in our company. But it cannot send the text message to my phone. what am i doing wrong? the same URL works from a browser.But we have to develop a Java program which will connect to NowSMS gateway and not through Browser. How can i do this? thanks in advance | |||

Hi, Let's take a closer look at the URL that you are generating. My guess is that it has something to do with URL-escaping of the parameters. For example, one common issue is that if you include the international "+" sign in a phone number, in an actual URL request, it needs to be encoded as "%2B" (whereas a browser will often do that conversion for you). My advice would be to enable the debug log in NowSMS. Edit SMSGW.INI, and add Debug=Yes under the [SMSGW] section header. Restart the SMS gateway service. Then, make a URL request to send a message from a browser ... followed by a request from your application. NowSMS will log the received URL in the SMSDEBUG.LOG. Compare the two requests, and hopefully that will provide the missing clue. -bn | |||

Hi Bruce, ur absolutely right.Even though i am encoding the URL and substituting " " with + sign in my program,which looks like this PhoneNumber=0122042513&Text=Final+Testing+from+JavaApp,it doesnt work.But when i do the same thing in browser, it works. I will compare the two strings and will get back to u. thanks for replying, Sachin | |||
