Hi, I recently upgraded to the latest version of NowSMS Lite (v2011.07.05) from the previous version (v2010.11.04) and discovered that the http api has been broken. The following is the config entry which responds to incoming SMS which start with #TEST (taken from SMSGW.INI): ReceiveSMSCommand8=#TEST http://127.0.0.1/?User=user&Password=password&PhoneNumber=TEST&Text=[TEST]+@@SMS@@+[DO+NOT+REPLY] No The following is the SMSIN log entry: 2012-01-05 23:42:49,+6596906168,HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G Modem,Text="#TEST testing again 123" The following is the SMSOUT log entry: 2012-01-05 23:42:52,4D820AAC.req,127.0.0.1,+6596906168,OK -- HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G Modem,SubmitUser=melvin;Text="[TEST] testing%20again%20123 [DO NOT REPLY]" And when I received the message on my phone, I got: [TEST] testing%20again%20123 [DO NOT REPLY] It seems that in the 2011 version, the URL space character (%20) was not parsed and replaced with a space before sending out the SMS. This was working in the 2010 version. Can you verify the bug, and post an update? I need this up and working as soon as possible as this is currently an active system. | ||||

The bug here is that @@SMS@@ passes the actual message including spaces to the url, and when the url is parsed, the spaces are replaced by the browser with %20. The previous version caught this and replaced the %20 with spaces, but the current version didn't, hence a message with many spaces would become unreadable as all the spaces would be replaced with %20. | ||||

Hi Melvin, I have tried multiple tests to try to recreate this problem with various versions of NowSMS (including the version you mention), but I cannot. I would be curious to see your SMSDEBUG.LOG showing this message being received and processed as there must be some other factor which I am not considering. The SMSDEBUG.LOG should show a sequence something like this: 13:32:35:332 [11] ThreadProcessInboundSMS: Processing 4D4A28C4.in... 13:32:35:333 [11] GetProgramToExecute: http://127.0.0.1/?user=user&password=password&phonenumber=@@SENDER@@&text=[TEST] +@@SMS@@+[DO+NOT+REPLY] Above entry shows the matching 2-way command, next we insert the text with spaces URL encoded as %20. 13:32:35:333 [11] GetProgramToExecute: http://127.0.0.1/?user=user&password=password&phonenumber=%2B12345678901&text=[T EST]+123%20abc+[DO+NOT+REPLY] 13:32:35:333 [11] ThreadProcessInboundSMS: Executing http://127.0.0.1/?user=user&password=password&phonenumber=%2B12345678901&text=[T EST]+123%20abc+[DO+NOT+REPLY] 13:32:35:333 [11] RetrieveURL: Retrieving http://127.0.0.1/?user=user&password=password&phonenumber=%2B12345678901&text=[T EST]+123%20abc+[DO+NOT+REPLY] 13:32:35:334 [11] RetrieveURL: Retrieving ?user=user&password=password&phonenumber=%2B12345678901&text=[TEST]+123%20abc+[D O+NOT+REPLY] In this scenario, NowSMS is connecting to itself, so we see the URL request being received, still with the space URL encoded as %20. But the resulting message has a space as it should. 13:32:35:337 [62] ThreadProcessConnection: Processing request /?user=user&password=password&phonenumber=%2B12345678901&text=[TEST]+123%20abc+[ DO+NOT+REPLY] I can't imagine why you are seeing different results, so I would like to see what is different in your SMSDEBUG.LOG. Either post the log here, or email it to nowsms@nowsms.com with Attention: Des in the subject line. There is also a more recent build of NowSMS Lite that you can download at http://www.nowsms.com/download/lite20111115.zip. You may want to try that version. -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||

I just noticed that the windows control panel says v2011.07.07, the version I quoted above is actually the version I noticed in the log file. Anyway, here's the log fragment from my SMSDEBUG.LOG: 14:49:23:040 [5] WaitForSocketClose: WinSock reported ioctlsocket complete 14:49:49:038 [13] ModemTest: HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G Modem 14:49:49:112 [13] ModemTest: OK 14:52:51:088 [13] ModemTest: HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G Modem 14:52:51:160 [13] ModemTest: OK 14:55:53:153 [13] ModemTest: HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G Modem 14:55:53:227 [13] ModemTest: OK 14:58:25:093 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: AT+CPMS? 14:58:25:093 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: +CPMS: "ME",0,23,"SM",1,30,"SM",1,30 OK 14:58:25:181 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: +CMGL: 0,0,,39 06915669489599240A91566909168600002110014185222317236A714A05D1CB737ADA7D0685CFE1B41B1493CD00 OK 14:58:25:181 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: Decoding received message index 0 from message storage SM 14:58:25:181 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: 06915669489599240A91566909168600002110014185222317236A714A05D1CB737ADA7D0685CFE1B41B1493CD00 14:58:25:181 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: SMSC address len = 6 14:58:25:181 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: SMSC Address = +6596845999 14:58:25:181 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: SMS Message Type = SMS-DELIVER 14:58:25:181 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: Sender address len = 10 14:58:25:182 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: Sender Address = +6596906168 14:58:25:182 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: PID = 00 14:58:25:182 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: DCS = 00 14:58:25:182 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: Anticipated user data length = 23 14:58:25:182 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: Message = #TEST testing again 123 14:58:25:183 [13] ModemReceiveMessages: AT+CMGD=0 14:58:25:184 [5] ThreadProcessInboundSMS: Processing 4D820E9B.in... 14:58:25:184 [5] GetProgramToExecute: http://127.0.0.1/?User=user&Password=password&PhoneNumber=TEST&Text=[TEST]+@@SMS@@+[DO+NOT+REPLY] 14:58:25:184 [5] GetProgramToExecute: http://127.0.0.1/?User=user&Password=password&PhoneNumber=TEST&Text=[TEST]+testing%20again%20123+[DO+NOT+REPLY] 14:58:25:184 [5] ThreadProcessInboundSMS: Executing http://127.0.0.1/?User=user&Password=password&PhoneNumber=TEST&Text=[TEST]+testing%20again%20123+[DO+NOT+REPLY] 14:58:25:184 [5] RetrieveURL: Retrieving http://127.0.0.1/?User=user&Password=password&PhoneNumber=TEST&Text=[TEST]+testing%20again%20123+[DO+NOT+REPLY] 14:58:25:185 [5] RetrieveURL: Looking up 127.0.0.1 14:58:25:185 [5] RetrieveURL: Retrieving ?User=user&Password=password&PhoneNumber=TEST&Text=[TEST]+testing%20again%20123+[DO+NOT+REPLY] 14:58:25:185 [5] RetrieveURL: GET /?User=user&Password=password&PhoneNumber=TEST&Text=[TEST]+testing%20again%20123+[DO+NOT+REPLY] HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Now SMS/MMS Gateway v2011.07.05 Accept: */* Host: 127.0.0.1 14:58:25:186 [5] HttpResponseWait: Ok 14:58:25:186 [5] RetrieveURL: HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 06:58:25 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.14 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8l mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.3.1 mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1 Location: http://127.0.0.1:8800/?User=user&Password=password&PhoneNumber=TEST&Text=%5bTEST%5d+testing%2520again%2520123+%5bDO+NOT+REPLY%5d Content-Length: 534 Content-Type: text/html;

Update: I just upgraded to v2011.11.15 and re-did the test, no joy, the SMS sent to my phone was still padded with %20 instead of spaces.. | ||||

Hi Melvin, The SMSDEBUG.LOG clarifies what is happening. There is an Apache web server in the mix, and that is where the extra URL encoding is taking place. I can't speculate what the purpose of that Apache web server is in your overall setup. However, you can easily fix the problem by bypassing it. Simply change http://127.0.0.1/ in the 2-way command URL to http://127.0.0.1:8800/ -- Des NowSMS Support | ||||
