Hi Nikos,

I am sure that there is an unspoken interest like mine.

I regret that you are retracting your contribution, as I would have liked to have used it.

Just because the Kannel developers may not be promptly responding to contributions does not mean that Kannel users such as my self are not using, or not interested in, the patches.

Hi,
It's been 4 months now that I made a no small contribution to provide wtls functionality to kannel. I have not received any feedback (positive or negative) and apparently there is no interest in it. It is a pitty, since apart from the development effort, there was also significant time spent to port everything to kannel style and sources. I was misled to believe that this would be worthwhile. Frankly, I cannot understand how kannel could ever claim to be a wap gateway, without supporting one of the 3 major protocols (WSP, WTP & WTLS). It is therefore with regret that I retract this contribution. Since it was never accepted by kannel, the original commercial rights remain in effect (InAccess Networks and myself) and no part of the patch offered can be used in part or as a whole without the expressed permission of the authors.
Regretfully,
Nikos Balkanas

    Dear friends,
    This is a long overdue contribution to kannel's wap. It will
    provide wtls functionality. It has been thoroughly tested in
    Solaris, and compiles cleanly in Linux.
    I used indent to format the structure, so a lot of the differences
    will be formatting. Nevertheless, there is a lot of code in there
    that needed to make it work. Let me know if the cvs diff is the
    best way to submit it, or whether a tarball of the sources would
    be better. I've have had some issues with cvs diff in the past, so
    if you get any compilation warnings, I may have to go with a tarball.
    In particular it will provide:
    A) Supported MACs:
            SHA_0,
            SHA_40,
            SHA_80,
            SHA_NOLIMIT,
            MD5_40,
            MD5_80,
            MD5_NOLIMIT
    MIA's:
             SHA_XOR_40
    B) Supported Ciphers:
            RC5_CBC_40,
            RC5_CBC_56,
            RC5_CBC,
            DES_CBC,
            DES_CBC_40
    MIA's:
            NULL_bulk,
            TRIPLE_DES_CBC_EDE,
            IDEA_CBC_40,
            IDEA_CBC_56,
            IDEA_CBC
    C) Supported Keys:
            RSA_anon
    MIA's:
            RSA_anon_512,
            RSA_anon_768,
            RSA_NOLIMIT,
            RSA_512,
            RSA_768,
            ECDH_anon,
            ECDH_anon_113,
            ECDH_anon_131,
            ECDH_ECDSA_NOLIMIT
    Keys might seem a shortcoming, but I have yet to see a mobile that
    doesn't support RSA_anon. I do expect that a few of the rest of
    the keys are supported as well (i.e. RSA_anon_512, RSA_anon_768)
    just didn't have the chance to test them.
    Please vote and decide,
    Nikos
