Hi Bryce,
I have a client application connected to NowSMS over SMPP. I also have an SMSC connection to NowSMS over SMPP.

We are in the process of building a Wap portal so that users can access all SMS keyword based applications via WAP also.

How can we fire a message to NowSMS via URL submission which will force NowSMS to think it is from the SMPP SMSC and route it to the SMPP client application for processsing?

From the documentation I was able to make out that url submission is only to send SMS messages to mobiles.

What we are trying to achieve will be more clear by this example:

We have a script setup so that users can send STOCK <stockname> via their mobiles and they get back stock information.

Traditionally the message arrives via the SMSC to NowSMS which routes it to the SMPP client application for processing, which sends back the results to NowSMS which delivers it back to the user via the SMSC SMPP link.

In WAP, the user will connect to the WAP page with their mobiles and enter the stock name and mobile number and submit it from the WAP page. Upon submission, the wap page will submit a url to NowSMS with the text and mobilenumber. We want NowSMS to route this incoming message to the client application, which will process and route back to NowSMS which will further deliver the message back via the SMSC SMPP link

Is there some other way to do this?
Thanks

Hi Suvinay,

If you issue an HTTP request where the recipient address matches an address (or address mask) in the "Recipient address(es) to route to this user", then the message will be queued directly for that SMPP client without being submitted upstream.

Hi
I tried that with the following URL posting

http://127.0.0.1:8800/?PhoneNumber=+5544&Sender=98xxxxxxxx&Text=cri

The SMPP client is configured such that all messages from +5544 is routed to it. When I receive a message from the SMSC connection (SMPP) it gets routed to the client, but in above case it is not routed.
What mistake am I committing?

I fixed the problem!
The + befre 5544 was the problem, I needed to send it as %2B due to url limitations
:-)
Its working fine now
