Hi! i'm typing this URL in Nokia 5100 Simulator running Nokia Internet Tool Kit. with Now SMS gateway 4.20 trial edition http://localhost:81/20030902/16/BBC6F79F.MMS I get nothing in Emulator! the log file shows 2003-09-02 17:19:01,MMSRETRIEVE,127.0.0.1,,,20030902/16/BBC6F79F.MMS,OK ... Can you tell me how can I retreive directly MMS file contents via GPRS/WAP ? | |||

Hi Jag, Basically that's not going to work. The MMS notification/retrieval process is a multi-step process. You can't just download an MMS file ... as its not really the WAP browser on the phone that performs the download, there's a separate MMS client. The MMS file that is sitting in the MMSCDATA directory of the NowSMS server is in "m-retrieve-conf" format ... which means that it is in a format that is ready for an MMS client to retrieve the message. However, the MMS client needs to receive an "m-notification-ind" message that is pushed to the client first ... the client sees the push, and then initiates the retrieve. As a result, while I have not worked with the 5100 simulator yet ... my experience so far with similators is that they all have their own proprietary way of dealing with MMS simulation, since they can't effectively emulate a complete real world environment without SMS support. That said, our web menu interface does allow you to send WAP push and MMS messages to an IP address (put in an IP address instead of a phone number). If the simulator supports the receipt of WAP push over IP, you might be able to get somewhere. So far, I've only seen two simulators that supported this ... and only for WAP push ... not for MMS (MMS notifications are sent over WAP push). (Run NETSTAT -a and you can determine if any applications are actually listening for WAP push over IP on UDP port 2948.) -bn | |||

Alrite, I got it. Tested with WAP Push and it seemed to be workin! cool.. Thought what's the point that wap browser cannot retrieve MMS content weird! it should just retrieve it and pass it on to MMS Client instead of making all the hassle. Anyhow, thanks a bunch! | |||

I agree, it could be a lot simpler. Simulators typically only use pieces of the actual phone software, so they don't always implement all features of an actual phone. It would be a lot easier if the MMS client in the simulator could receive an MMS notification directly, I just haven't seen any that do it yet. -bn | |||
