Dear Sir, i have implemented successfully the solution of wap MMs in sending polyphonic and MMS to mobile phones, but actually i have a problem. My customer who receive that URL can access my server more times and download the polyphonic more times using that URL. i need a security solution that disable this URL after the first download | |||

HI, I would suggest to add a GUID or any code you want as a parameter in the URL. use this code to validate the message and inside the code you have make sure to check that the code is a valid one. For example: If you are using a servlet to implement your code - add to the URL ?code = are64537 I would use a hash mechanisem to produce the codes, it is very easy to do so in Java. | |||

hi two questions so we can better understand your problem: 1) How do you generatethe URL? 2) What method of NowSMS engine do you use to notify the user - SMS, MMS notification, WAP Push and so on. | |||

Hi Can you be a bit more specific. Are you using a POST to the NowSMS GW? Are you using the MMS notification mechanisem? Are you using an application you have writen to POST the WAP notification or are you using NowSMS web interface to do so? | |||

I have to admit that I cant think of a way to include a specific tag into the URL that the NowSMS web interface creates. The way I do it is with a java code that uses the NowSms diferent interfaces. maybe someone else here has a suggestion? Yoram | |||

Hi Maged/Yoram, Apologies for the delay in joining this thread. We're in the process of adding a configuration parameter to help address this issue. It will expire one of these dynamically generated URLs after x minutes of the first download attempt, or y download attempts (where x and y are configurable settings). We're planning on an update patch for Friday, December 12, and this is one of the issues that is planned to be addressed. -bn | |||

A follow-up. The logic that has been implemented for the next update is slightly different from what I described above. Here is a description from the upcoming readme for the update:
