A WAP gateway is a specialised type of proxy server.

WAP clients connect to a WAP gateway using UDP, on either port 9200 or 9201 (usually 9201, it depends on whether the phone is configured for connection-less/temporary or connection-oriented/permanent). Or, if WTLS encryption is used, port 9202 or 9203.

These port numbers are UDP ports, not TCP ports. (UDP is a connection-less protocol that is implemented on IP, TCP is a connection-oriented protocol that is implemented on IP.)

Any MIME types that are registered on a content server (web server) are really independent of the WAP gateway. Most WAP clients expect to see WML content in the MIME type "text/vnd.wap.wml", and monochrome images in the MIME type "image/vnd.wap.wbmp". However, newer clients that support XHTML Basic use "application/xhtml+xml", and regular image types like "image/gif" and "image/jpeg".

As an application server, you can look at the "Accept:" header to determine if a WAP client supports "application/xhtml+xml" or if you have to use WML.

I should probably mention that you might not need your own WAP gateway. You might have some confusion there. Every web site that is serving up WAP content does NOT need its own WAP gateway.

In most cases, when your operator has a WAP gateway, you can connect to any WAP site on the public internet through their gateway. You generally will only need your own gateway for more specialized setups.

So with that in mind, let's examine your questions:

allright need some more help it seems to work, but some thing it wrong. technicaly should wap stop work when i stop the program?

I suspect that you're telling me that when you stop the WAP gateway, you are still able to access your site.

If that is the case, that is because your phone is not actually configured to use your WAP gateway, it is probably configured to use the operator's WAP gateway.

and i am having trouble getting it to work in other folders the the root of the website

I'd need some details here. If your site is public, post some URLs to try here, and we'll look at the URLs.

I think you are lost.

The Now.WAP proxy has no direct relationship to SMS.

It's also unclear what you mean by "simulate SMS". Simulate it on a handset simulator?
If possible, that would be specific to whatever handset simulator you are using.

Well, what I think what Kent means is that you seem to be lost by posting this question on a support forum for a WAP gateway product in a message thread that had no previous mention of SMS at all.

Maybe it would make more sense in the context of our Now SMS/MMS Gateway product. But the problem of a simulation is what exactly are you simulating if you don't have a handset or a handset simulator?

You might be able to simulate a particular SMS related protocol, such as SMPP. And SMPP is just one of the protocols that might be used in a real world scenario for connecting to an operator SMSC.
