Hello, I am wondering if anyone can answer this question: I want to dynamically compose an MMS, this MMS will have the standard multipart header, the first part being the SOAP MM Send Request Envelope with the second part being the SMIL presentation. The key to my question is that I do not want to include say the image in the MMS submission, but have SMIL reference it to an outside URL. Would this work? Here is an example of a working SMIL doc, copy this code and save it to a file named "velen.smi" - this file would play on RealOne or RealPlayer or some Java applet or Phone Simulator you have going. By the way, this one was created by the boys at OMA (Open Mobile Alliance). <smil> <head> <layout> <root-layout width="160" height="140"/> <region id="Image" width="160" height="120" left="0" top="0"/> <region id="Text" width="160" height="20" left="0" top="120"/> </layout> </head> <body> <par dur="5s"> <img src="http://www.lebodic.net/VelenS1.jpg" region="Image" /> <text src="http://www.lebodic.net/VelenS1.txt" region="Text" /> </par> <par dur="10s"> <img src="http://www.lebodic.net/VelenS2.jpg" region="Image" /> <text src="http://www.lebodic.net/VelenS2.txt" region="Text" /> </par> </body> </smil> Note: I am comfortable with SMIL, SOAP and HTTP 1.1. Assume that I have the main HTTP-POST header correct and the rest too. -km | |||

Sorry, but it's not going to work, at least not in the majority of today's phones (and I'd be surprised if it works on any). I can't point you to a spec that states this clearly (although I'm sure there is one), but basically when the phone receives the MMS message, it expects that all of the components are packaged within the MMS message entity. External references just don't seem to be allowed. An MM7 receiver could conceivably be constructed that downloaded these URLs before reformatting the message for MM1 delivery, but I would not expect this behaviour to occur. | |||

And did it work? or did you find a different solution? | |||
