This is taken directly from the WAP-209-MMSEncapsulation-20020105-a.pdf document. 'A client SHALL retrieve messages by sending a WSP/HTTP GET request to the MMS Proxy -Relay containing a URI to the received message. When successful, the response to the retrieve request will contain headers and the body of the incoming message.' Since it says 'When successful' I think that there are unsuccessful times as well. What type of WSP /HTTP GET request will be unsuccessful? What kind of WSP /HTTP GET request will be rejected by NowSMS? What documentation should I be looking for that details this?

Hi Dan,

A GET request for an invalid URL (URL that does not match an outstanding notification) would be one such instance. With that you'd get a standard "404 Not Found" response.

In practice, of course, that shouldn't happen. But I can think of one scenario where this might occur ... if an MMS notification was received and the device could not make a GPRS connection to download. Later, the user tries to access the message, but the MMS message has expired and is no longer on the MMSC.
