What I meant was specifically in relation to clients that would conform to
Wireless Application Protocol(WAP)? Most of the microbrowsers that are out
there seem to be the type that simply display cached files that are
downloaded a priori !!
So I guess what I really need to know is whether implementing a WAP client
would be anything like doing the same for an HTTP client. Where can I look
for additional information? I am of course talking in the context of PDAs,
because I know there are several cellular phone vendors that have integrated
WAP clients into their phones.
Hope you'll be able to help me out a little more - I really appreciate it.
