Hi,

I wonder if anyone could possibly help me understand how the MMS sending mechanism works, more specifically how the images are transferred from client to server when sending an MMS.

I have succesfully set up and tested the MMS part of NowSMS and can send MMS messages from the web interface.

Is it possible to send an MMS by entering a URL into the browser (as can be done for SMS) and specifiying a file path on the local (client) machine, e.g.

http://localhost:8800?PhoneNumber=xxx&MMSFile:c\temp\image.jpg..

I've tried something along these lines, but just get errors?


Thanks,


Pete

Hi Bryce,

Thanks for the reply. Do you by any chance have anything that does this written in Java?


Thanks,

Hi Pete,

Someone contributed a Java example in the following thread:

It requires that you use the Apache HttpClient (not the web server, basically this is just a Java class that you add to your system).

Sorry, I don't have any examples for interfacing to NowSMS using VB or C#.

But, basically, it involves making an HTTP request.

The simple HTTP POST and GET formats are described at the following link:

Links to information about alternative interfaces can be found at the following:

Hi,

I have tried MMS SDK, its available at http://www.mmssdk.com. Its fully compatable with NowSMS and by using it i successfully sent the MMS Message.

The following lines of code can be use to easily send your composed MMS message
________________________________________
MMSConnection myCon = new MMSConnection("C:\Program Files\NowSMS\VASPQ");

myCon.SendMMS("c:\abc.mms","123456789");
________________________________________

It also composes the MMS message for u. They also have very good knowledge base and support is really quick.

Do try it and i will be happy to discuss if u find any problem with it.

Good luck.
