I'm testing sending MMS from PC to handphone using NOW gateway. I post the MMS file from MMSCDATA directory which is generated by NOW gateway to another Tomcat server, and I add the Tomcat MIME type: <mime-mapping> <extension>mms</extension> <mime-type>application/vnd.wap.mms-message</mime-type> </mime-mapping> I'm using both Send WAP Push Message method and Send MMS Notification method by providing URL of the mms file on the separate Tomcat server. However, WAP push way, can sent out message to handphone, bue the handphone displayed @1 service message received@, when I click to retrieve, the handphone displyed: File format unknown When using MMS notification way, The NOW gateway displayed: Error: Unable to fetch URL: http://hostname(real)/mms/20050513/11/78AB0076-notify.MMS If I key MMS URL as 78AB0076.mms, the same error came out. But I can access http://hostname(real)/mms/20050513/11/78AB0076-notify.MMS from web browser, is it because the mms file I copy to Tomcat server is not suitable for delevery, and we have to create ourself? The tomcat server is outside firewall. Another question: If my Now gateway installed in the PC behind the firewall, but MMS content is on a server thish is outside the firewall, does it matter how I configure MMSC? Hope to get any help. Thanks a lot. zbc | |||

Now I can send ringtone and .wbmp file to hanphone through Now Gateway using WAP push way by providing the URL of the .mid and .wbmp file. But I still cannot send out .mms file using the same way by providing .mms URL. I noticed that WAP posh way require us to provide WML URL, does it mean the .mms cannot be send out using hte same way? Best Rgds. zbc | |||

Hi zbc, I don't understand some parts of your question. You cannot send out MMS content directly as a WAP push link. The internet/WAP browser on the phone will not understand it. If you have MMS content, it would be sent out as MMS notification (which is a special type of WAP push).
If NowSMS is going to function as an MMSC, it needs to be outside of the firewall ... or it needs to have a path through the firewall for external entities to connect to it. Alternatively, you can configure NowSMS to deliver MMS messages over a GPRS modem to an operator MMSC ... where NowSMS does not have to be outside of a firewall. See http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm for more of a description of how MMS works, and some links that explain more about the GPRS modem configuration option. Basically, there is no automated way to have the MMSC copy its content to another web server automatically. -bn | |||
