Hi Simon
I suspect the "unsupported content type" is an error generated by the
handset and not by Kannel.
The SL45i Java MIDP OTA process works as follows:
- User initiates a WAP (Internet) session and navigates to a JAD link
- Web server (with correct mime types configured!) sends the
"text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor" Content-Type header for the JAD
- User confirms that he wishes to download the Java MIDlet
- User navigates to desired folder and selects "Save"
- Handset drops WAP session
- Handset initiates PPP connection to the "Java standard" connection
(Menu -> Setup -> Network -> Dial-in Access)
- Web server sends JAD file ("text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor")
- Size of MIDlet is obtained from JAD and "ETA" displayed
- Web server sends JAR file ("application/java"), handset starts
downloading ("Receiving" is displayed)
- When download is complete, user is prompted with "Do you want to
start?"
- If yes, MIDlet is executed
I have tested this process with Apache web server and Kannel v1.0.3
(libxml2 v2.4.7)/Linux 6.2 i386, and it works perfectly.
I would check that you have the correct mime types set in your web
server configs:
text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor jad
application/java jar
