I'm testing out Now.WAP, so far everything works correctly, with the exception of the "Default home page for legacy browsers". According to the documentation this is suppose to allow a home page to be set for browsers that do not allow one to be set. However phones with a homepage locked to http://homepage get a error, and according to the logs its still trying to resolve http://homepage and not the homepage I entered into the field.
Does Now.WAP redirect the default home page or is this feature only work with a browser with no default homepage? Or am I missing a setting? Thanks.

That particular setting is not looking for a browser that has a default setting of "http://homepage". It is looking for some old browsers that used a setting of "device:home".

If you have devices that have other odd default settings, then you can manage them with some built-in redirects.

In the NowWAP program directory, it is possible to create a file named URLREWRITE.TXT. Each line of this file can contain the start of a URL, and how it should be translated/redirected.

In this particular case, you would add:

http://homepage=http://domain.name/path/page

Hi Bryce,

Is it possible to test the "default home page functionnality" with the WINWAP 3.2 browser ?

I tried by setting default home page = device:home but that doesn't work.

Hi Clement,

To be honest, it's been awhile since I've looked at WinWap.

But I would expect that the URLREWRITE.TXT file would do the trick. You just need to determine what URL is sent as the default home page for that browser, and redirect it as appropriate.

Hi Bryce,

Thank, it's working now, I removed a space on the URLREWRITE.TXT file at the end of the URL redirection.
