I am a new NowSms user. I want to respond SMS with an MMS. I have compiled the MMS using MMSCOMP. Now I have to configur the 2 Way SMS support for a SMS command prefix. i cannot understand the HTTP command i have to write for this. Specifically if the command is "http://127.0.0.1:8800/?PhoneNumber=xxxxxxxx&MMSURL=name.domain/path/filename.mm s" I don't understand what to write for name.domain. Should i write the IP address of my own PC(I do not have a public IP). I want to send the MMS using the service provider's MMSC, that is i want to send it as it is sent normally from a mobile phone. Kindly respond.My last post too was left unresponded. | |||

Hi, This is hard to do with just URL parameters. Using "MMSURL=" is not going to work, as that generates an MMS notification message referncing that URL directly. It does not actually send an MMS message through any MMSC interface. You need to use the "MMSFILE=" parameter, which does create an MMS message that will get routed through an MMSC interface if so configured. And, yes, if you are submitting via URL ... the "MMSFILE=" parameter has to reference a URL. We don't allow direct file references (even though you are on the same machine) for security reasons. You could use the built-in NowSMS web server, just put your files in the MMSCDATA directory. Then use MMSFILE=http://127.0.0.1:xxx/filename.mms, where "xxx" is the HTTP Port number of the MMSC, and filename.mms is the name of the file in the MMSCDATA directory. *But* ... there is a bug in current versions with regard to processing "MMSFILE=" parameters referencing a pre-compiled ".mms" file. (We never thought of trying this I guess ... but it seems like everyone is over the past few weeks. You can find info about the fix here: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/12842.html) -bn | |||
