I am trying to get X-MSISDN passing in the HTTP header to work when a HTTPS (secure SSL) page is requested from a WAP 2 mobile. Is this possible, like in a normal HTTP request (tested this and it works)? | |||

Hi Andre, I know we already discussed this via e-mail. But I wanted to post a follow-up explanation out here as well. It is not technically possible to insert an X-MSISDN header in an HTTPS request that is proxied via HTTP/WAP2. The reason for this is because there is end-to-end security on the connection. In this scenario, the proxy cannot view or modify the data that is being transacted. -- Kent Williams Now Wireless Support |
