I have looked at the documentation on this page (http://www.nowsms.com/support/bulletins/tb-nowsms-005.htm) but I can't work out how to use the code provided, so any help to explain how this can be done would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Nathan

Hi Nathan,

It looks like there is a formatting error in that link. The data should be:

GET /provision?AdminAction=Action&PhoneNumber=number&Name=AliasName&Password=passwor d&FullName=Full+Name HTTP/1.0
Authorization: username:password (BASE64 encoded)
<blank line>

That is the data that would actually be sent over HTTP connection (for example, if you connected via Telnet).

For example:

GET /provision?AdminAction=Add&PhoneNumber=%2B447778001210&Name=TestAccount&Password =TestPassword&FullName=Test+Name HTTP/1.0
Authorization: Basic Ym9zY2g6Ym9zY2g=
<blank line>


If you're not familiar with how to encode Base64, I explain how to easily cheat and find out how to encode your Authorization: header in the following link:

http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/252.html

Does that help?

Note: There should be no line breaks in the above examples until after the "HTTP/1.0". In other words:

GET /provision?... HTTP/1.0
Authorization: username:password (BASE64 encoded)
<blank line>
