Thanks for your reply.
Some progress, but still no cigar. I got my hands on some URLs and an Ericsson/ATT
R280 phone (not quite a WAP phone, but the gateway converts from WML to HDML). I
successfully accessed WML, HDML and even some HTML sites with that phone, using
http.
I then found an HDML site that supports https access (on a - yuck - IIS/NT server
https://www.storagepoint.com). I successfully accessed it from the phone. I tried
your site www.toorak.com with the phone with http and it worked, but with https I
got the message: "Web service problem: please try again", with a "1012: Cannot
connect to service" detail.
I also successfully accessed HDML and WML code on two SSL enabled servers in our
site (merlin.theelab.com-IIS/NT and kestrel.theelab.com-Apache/mod-ssl/Linux). But
https fails even though it succeeds from a Web browser.
What all these things lead me to believe is that perhaps there is a diffferent type
of certificate being used for mobile devices/emulators (WAP/HDML).
Thanks again,
bruno
