is there a way to get the system to use a default UAProf (for image conversion) ? some phones (like samsung) do not project a UAProf - and i'd like to have the system fall back on a designated default ( like a t68 UAProf, for example) instead of doing no conversion. is this possible? | |||

Hmm ... good question. I agree that could be very useful. I did just do some experimenting, and came up with a trick that will work. Let me explain how the logic works in the Now MMSC to select the UAProf. First, of course, we look at the "Profile:" header. We look at the UAProf.INI file (in the UAProf subdirectory), and if we have a locally cached copy, we use that ... otherwise we download a copy and cache it. If there is no "Profile:" header, then we look at the UAMap.INI file (also in the UAProf subdirectory). And we look sequentially through this file for a substring match between an entry in this file and the "User-Agent:" header. So, if you wanted to apply a default, you would add the following entries to the UAMap.INI file (all entries must be under the [UAMap] section header): a=default.xml b=default.xml c=default.xml d=default.xml e=default.xml f=default.xml g=default.xml h=default.xml i=default.xml j=default.xml k=default.xml l=default.xml m=default.xml n=default.xml o=default.xml p=default.xml q=default.xml r=default.xml s=default.xml t=default.xml u=default.xml v=default.xml w=default.xml x=default.xml y=default.xml z=default.xml 1=default.xml 2=default.xml 3=default.xml 4=default.xml 5=default.xml 6=default.xml 7=default.xml 8=default.xml 9=default.xml 0=default.xml Of course, this assumes that a "User-agent:" header is present, and that it contains at least one alphanumeric character. And, of course, that "default.xml" exists in the UAProf subdirectory. I tried a couple of simple tests here with this approach, and it seemed to work just fine. -bn | |||

can you do the same thing if the user-agent is not sent ??? I have a handset that does not send the user-agent when downloading MMS messages. | |||

No. If the "User-Agent:" header is not present, there is no way to trigger a default. We reviewed this earlier today in a development meeting, and it was decided that we would add support for a UAMAP.INI entry "*=default.xml" in the next release (v5.0). If there is no "Profile:" header, and there is no other match in the UAMAP.INI file, then this "*" entry will be used. In the current version, I don't see any way to achieve this behaviour. -bn | |||
