How come we can't send the http get url submission specifying a local picture file instead of a file on a webserver? Anyway to circumvent this?

Mainly we don't allow this as it could turn out to be a potential security issue.

If you don't have another web server that you can use for this ... you can place any files that you like in a directory beneath the NowSMS\MMSCDATA directory. For example, you could create NowSMS\MMSCDATA\temp.

Then in an HTTP GET submission, use an MMSFILE parameter like this "MMSFILE=http://127.0.0.1:xxx/temp/filename.ext", where "xxx" is the port number that the MMSC is using as its "HTTP Port Number". The MMSC will act as a web server, looking for "/temp/filename.ext" beneath the NowSMS\MMSCDATA subdirectory.
