I trying to develop Game download, allows only Phone to access, my understanding is WML cannot valid the incoming browser.

I hope to acheive the following:
1. validation of the wap browser and incoming parameter ?
2. Update SQL of the incoming as CDR
3. After download, update the record.


Appreciate help ????

Hi Steven,

You raise some interesting points. We need to figure out a better way of handling this. It would be nice to be able to call a notification URL after one of these links is accessed.

Then you could update your tables, and we'd also want to expire the link so that it couldn't be accessed any further.

I'm going to talk with some colleagues and try to think this through in more detail.

There is one minor problem that I see. When the game is accessed, the content server can only see that an attempt was made to download the game. It cannot see if the download was successful (because the content server passes it off to the WAP gateway, and only the WAP gateway would know if the complete download was successful). So, before expiring a link, several attempts would have to be allowed. Maybe the link would expire x minutes after the first attempt? That's why I need to go over this with some colleagues to get some more thoughts.

I am very happy with the nowSMS and likely to deploy the GW for our TRIAL. I like to know more about the SMS GW how its dispatch the SMS and

1. how can my application know any SMS o/s (Check the Q) and
2. any means to know is the SMS modem failed ?
3. Video Streaming to the mobile any ideals how can i do these?
4. I also like to explore the MMS features any information that i can used to provide as a services ?

Sorry for keep asking question and yet buy the software. (I promised once my stakeholder happy with the TRIAL i will get their cheque to purchase the software.)

Steven,

1. Checking the status can be difficult. The SMSOUT-yyyymmdd.LOG file records when messages are dispatched, but it can be difficult to monitor.

2. Only by monitoring the event log. We do take continuous steps to try to recover from a failed modem, but right now if there is a failure (either with a modem or a connection to a service provider), it is only logged to the Windows event log.

3. Generally, devices that support video today are looking for it to be encoded using the MIME type "video/3gpp".

4. I'm not certain what type of information that you're looking for on the MMS side. But this thread has some good technical information on issues that you can run into with getting MMS connectivity setup, and the options for how to send MMS: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/589.html

Interfaces for how your application can submit MMS messages to the gateway are described here:
