RE: How to connect sends and receives (statefulness)
Title: RE: How to connect sends and receives (statefulness) The only successful way I have seen of doing this is to use a big enough bank of recycleable MSISDNS for the source address. That way you can match the originating message to the response within a reasonable time window and reuse the MSISDN subsequently. Unfortunately, big banks of MSISDNs tend be a scarce, operator controlled resource so you need some clout and a viable business model. -Original Message- From: Matthew Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Mon 30/07/2007 15:09 To: users@kannel.org Subject: How to connect sends and receives (statefulness) I want to send out lots of different riddles and then track the replies coming in and check if the answer is correct. I need some way of connecting the riddle ID to the answer coming in. I can use ersatz methods like guessing based on the time I sent the message and the replying phone number, but I hope that something exists inside the SMPP protocol. More generally, any information on how to maintain statefulness across numerous messages would be helpful. TIA Matt -- I'm starting a blog. http://blog.tplus1.com

RE: HTTP with WAP 2.0?
I have successfully setup Kannel 1.4.0 on Fedora Core 4 with a single wapbox running. I can connect from my PC with Klondike 1.5 and browse WML pages successfully. The mobile I am trying to use, however, only supports the HTTP in WAP2.0, not WSP from WAP1.x. I have not seen anything in the Kannel documentation that suggests that Kannel can function as a regular HTTP proxy as well as a WAP Gateway. Is this understanding correct, or have I overlooked some information regarding the support for HTTP connections in addition to WSP? Its correct. Kannel has no HTTP proxy support You could look at Apache and its various plug-ins to build WAP 2.0 functionality.
RE: Upgrade from stable 1.4.0 to cvsversion
I try to upgrade my kannel from stable 1.4.0 (which is not really stable on rh 9 linux) to version cvs-20051226 I found that this cvs version is more stable :), great however i found this error, i don't know what is it 2006-01-04 13:00:05 [9489] [0] INFO: Loading store file `store-tmp' 2006-01-04 13:00:05 [9489] [0] INFO: Store-file size 5911, starting to unpack 2006-01-04 13:00:05 [9489] [0] PANIC: Internal error: unknown message type: 808461616 This suggests that the Msg struct has changed between 1.4.0 and CVS. There are no tools for migration. Delete your store file and restart the bearerbox (or write your own tool to migrate the store file).
RE: WTLS
Title: RE: WTLS How do we go about ensuring that our clients use WTLS to connect to our application? Can we force them to have to use WTLS? I'd guess it depends on the WAP client implementation; At least I'd expect a https:// scheme in the URL to indicate to the WAP client that a secure session is required.
RE: WTLS
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brent GoldspringSent: 09 December 2005 00:31To: users@kannel.orgSubject: OT: WTLS Hi, This is off-topic for the list, but I figured it would be a worth my while posing my query here. What is involved in developing WAP-based applications that use WTLS? I presumethat you're talking about WAP 1.x here and not WAP 2.0 as WAP 2.0 is SSL/TLS through a HTTP proxy from a security perspective. I also presume you're talking about server sideapplications rather than client side ? On the server, your applications should be unaware that WTLS isused as it is below the WTP layer. However, the WAP gateway may have a policy to enforce SSL/TLS towards the web server if WTLS is used. Is it simply a matter of throwing an SSL certificate on our web server and going from there? No. WTLS is between the WAP client and the WAP gateway. The security policy between the HTTP client in the WAP gateway andyour web server is a separate issue. Do we have to deploy our own WAP gateway and have our clients reconfigure their devices when they wish to use our application? No. Usually the carrier will support WTLS. Do we require the cooperation of our clients mobile-carrier WAP gateways? Only if you get into PKItrust issues. Bestcase is that the carriers certificate is issued by one of the trusted roots in the device. If not, then you'll need to talk to the carrier (or suffer the customer care issues of subscribers being prompted as to whether they trust a certificate or not) Do we have to buy another certificate for WTLS? Only if you're running your own WAP gateway. Even then it depends on whether its an open or closed user group, from a security policy perspective. Regards, Brent
RE: Kannel refuses to get-url
Title: RE: Kannel refuses to get-url The logfile states the normal startup lines and on an incoming sms: 2005-09-28 21:39:23 [8] DEBUG: smscconn (CIMD2:194.165.79.73:9972:Infospace): new message received After that it restarts and that's it... It restarts ? restarts what ? the bearerbox ? If so, sounds like the incoming CIMD MO message is causing the bearerbox to core, which causes the smsbox to exit and explains why your URL is never invoked...
RE: Modify CIMD2 protocol in Kannel
When an SMS comes in the Kannel log shows: CIMD2 packet contains unknown parameter 70 CIMD2 packet contains unknown parameter 71 CIMD2 packet contains unknown parameter 100 Does anyone know how I can make modifications so these parameters are read and can be used in the http-get url as a variable? You'll need to write some code. Modify the smsc/smsc_cimd.c driver to parse the CIMD parameters into the Msg struct, preferably using existing fields or adding new ones if there is no good fit. If you need new fields in the Msg struct, you'll need to modify gw/urltrans.[ch] to expose them in a URL.
RE: How to deal with multithreading
I'm running Kannel cvs-20050615 and when sending many SMSs at almost the same time using multithreading Kannel starts to spawn more bearerboxes. The command ps -auxwww|grep kannel , shows me more than one bearerbox. I'm concerned how to prevent Kannel trying to connect twice to the same SMSC as I only have one allowed instance. How can you set in the configuration files how many instances are allowed when multithreading. Are you running on a Linux 2.4.x kernel ? If so, ps shows you the threads within the process as separate entries.
RE: How to resolve SMS/WAP/MMS/VoIP gateways on a shoestring?
Title: RE: How to resolve SMS/WAP/MMS/VoIP gateways on a shoestring? Interesting question. Here is a link that discusses an ENUM based approach towards PSTN-IP gatewaying for SMS and MMS... http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t=res=25="">
RE: cimd2_get_packet: read failed
Why is it everytime I send sms to SMSC using the built in sendsms I got ERROR: cimd2_get_packet: read failed? You need to talk to whoever is hosting the CIMD system. The trace suggests (to me) that the CIMD login succeeds, but that the remote peer subsequently closes the connection, and hence any further I/O operations on that socket fail. You could verify this by doing an ethereal trace on the connection.
RE: Run WAPBox on non-standard port
You'd need to make a change in the Bearer Box src code.

RE: FW: WTLS and Kannel 1.4 - Query - Does it Work?
I'm pretty sure this does'nt work. Check the user and dev archives for similar questions. As far as I recall, the implementation was never finished and no-one has picked it up.
RE: Positional info.
Title: Message Bit off topic this one but here goes. Does anyone know if it's possible using the standard SMPP protocol to a UK SMSC to request positional information regarding the location of a cell phone (even if it's just the cell it's currently in) - I believe that phones announce themselves to the cell they are currently in and that onfo gets update in a DB somewhere - also I guess the cell that previously had the phone needs to be told? Any info. on the above topic is most gratefully accepted. There is nothing that I am aware of in SMPP 3.x that supports locational queries. Maybe in the newer SMPP specification from the SMPP Forum - check their website. Thats not to say that an operator has'nt overloaded an SMPP protocol operation to do it, though.
RE: Optional SMPP parameters
One of my SMSCs asks me to include the optional SMPP parameter user_message_reference to get back a delivery report, but I dont find a way of doing this through the configuration file. Should I modify the source code? Yes. There is no way of doing this from the configuration. What SMSC is this as a matter of interest ?
RE: fakesmsc
Willy Mularto wrote: guys, how realible does the fakesmsc for development? fakesmsc has been _designed_ for development, so that you don't need to fire hundred of thousands of msg over the air. We consider fakesmsc as very reliable, since we use it for performance, regression and stress tests. It does not allow you to test delivery report scenarios because it does'nt generate them. Apart from that, its great.
RE: Problems with SMPP optionnal Parameters

You can't get SMPP optional parameters to an SMS box sms service. You'll need to write code to extract the MO parameters and map them into one or more of the existing Msg struct fields. A subset of the Msg struct fields can be exposed via the % style formatters for the get-url argument.

If anyone could point me to a useful discussion, worked example, or specification for this, I would be grateful. Look at the WSP multipart encoding specification.
RE: UDH in the USA
I installed a kannel (snapshot version)in a cygwin environment. I'm using an Ericsson T68i with an ATT SIM. When I receive SMS messages with UDH, it seems that the UDH is not in X-Kannel-UDH, but is rather prepended to the message itself. When sending SMS messages with UDH through the kannel, I receive weird character before the actual message (which suggests that the UDH is prepended here as well). The messages are sent to / received from a different network (from outside the US). Anyone has any insight on this? Yes. I've experienced problems trying to send any SMSs containing UDH into the US. I'm not sure if the network is ATT, I'll check. The symptoms are exactly as you describe. Best guess is that the interop node is broken somewhere, somehow.
