I know that for all HTTP transaction, the client will send the request to the Wap Gateway, but for other protocols, like FTP?. Yesterday I test the real player, that use the RTSP protocol. And I think that the request and traffic are not passing through the Wap Gateway, but I am not totally sure. Can you tell me, I what case the mobile client (browsers or other software) will use the wap gateway? What protocols the Wap gateway covers? Thanks a lot | |||

Hi, Generally if a proxy is to be used for RTSP, this is a separate proxy. I've never seen any RTSP requests routed through a WAP or HTTP proxy, proxy setup for RTSP clients always seem to be looking for an RTSP specific proxy. FTP could be routed through an HTTP proxy. Certainly most HTTP browsers have proxy setup options where FTP requests can be routed through an HTTP proxy server. We do not support this in our proxy, but if there was good reason to do so we could re-evaluate this. The WAP2/HTTP proxy supports HTTP and HTTPS (HTTPS is technically tunneled by the proxy, which is a little different from proxying, but that is the normal way to handle HTTPS in a proxy). Other TCP based protocols can be supported through a tunnel using the CONNECT request. Because of the potential for abuse, by default, we only enable CONNECT to be used for HTTPS connections to content servers on port 443 (the standard https:// port). Support for CONNECT tunnels to other ports can be enabled with the "Allow SSL/TLS Tunnel to non-standard ports" configuration option in Now.WAP. (Note: Even with the configuration option that I've described above, we still won't tunnel SMTP. We make it harder for you to enable tunneling for SMTP because spammers are always looking for ways to mask their identities. To enable the CONNECT tunnel for SMTP, edit WAPGW.INI, and under the [WAPGW] header add TunnelSmtpPort=Yes.) | |||
