Dear Stipe, Please find attached the "bearerbox.log" file containing two WAP Push messages, which I received successfully on my handset.
As you can notice from the log, after sending the 1st CIMD2 message of the
1st WAP Push message,
Kannel inserted a record in the database, used for storing DLRs. Soon after, it
made the appropriate HTTP
request to the DLR-URL (status=8). Finally, the two final CIMD2 messages of the
1st WAP Push message
follow.
Please note that the second WAP Push message starts from the line 87:
2006-12-07 15:50:08 [4852] [17] DEBUG: boxc_receiver: got sms
from wapbox
After my Push Initiator sent the 2nd WAP Push message, Kannel followed the
very same procedure as
above (until line 108). At line 109 it seemed that SMS-C sent something
(probably its DLR) to Kannel which
didn't before, and as result, Kannel queried the database for the newly
inserted DLR record, made an HTTP
request to the DLR-URL (status=1) and finally removed the associated database
entry.
The above procedure is repeated for PAP-message by PAP-message! What I cannot
understand, in the
first place, is:
1. I've set the header X-Kannel-DLR-Mask=31, so the INSERT SQL
statement set mask=31.
However, the tag "056" in each 1st CIMD2 message is set to 14. Note
that according to
the CIMD2 specification, the tag "056" means "Status report
request".
2. I expected to have everything about DLR directly stored in the
database. However, it seemed
that I have to use the DLR-URL to update the database.
3. Why did Kannel remove database entries, but for not successive WAP
Push messages?
BR,
Dimitris

definetly a) Kannel didn't request DLR. Since Kannel will *ONLY* request DLR if
both values dlr-url and dlr-mask are given. That has semantical reasons. A mask
only would imply Kannel to receive the DLR, but there would be no "way" to pass
that DLR information (since missing DLR-URL), so Kannel treats this condition
like unwanted in other worst "without value" and therefore does not request DLR
from SMSC.

ok, the status 8 means semantically: SMSC accepted the message for processing.
The status 1 is a final state meaning: termianted on target device.
But the issue here seems to be with the concatenation of the MT chunks and the
DLR signaling, right?
Can you forward me a dump of bearerbox.log in debug log-level where I can trace
that sending of MT chunks towards SMSC and the receive of the DLRs?!
I need to see that happening in the logs to see actually the logic taking place.
But(!) you need to take care that you make the DLR signaling to your
application
that receives the DLR-URL HTTP GET call is unique.
Aaaaaa, ok, I see. PPG does the chunk splitting, so you can unique the chunks
on
your own via putting some dedicated DLR-URL parameters inside.
Please forward the bearerbox.log. In addition it would be good if you file a
bug
report to http://bugs.kannel.org/ describing the issue as detailed as possible,
so we keep track of the issue.

good question. We'd need to clarify this from the code itself. Please post this
question to the devel@ mailing list, so others can pick it up also.
