In order to begin testing Kannel PPG functionality, I've read through the
Architecture and User's Guide documents and some test source code including
test_ppg.c. One way to run test_ppg is to provide a PUSH_URL as well as
optional CONTENT_FILE and PAP_FILE parameters. I found a sample PAP_FILE in
Kannel/PPG/push_ctrl_doc.
Trivial though this will sounds to many, I'm unclear regarding the
definition and usage of the PUSH_URL and CONTENT_FILE parameters.
Regarding CONTENT_FILE, what does the file contain? Is it the URL that the
handset will access if the subscriber confirms that they want to view the
PUSH content? I thought this was part of the <address ...> entry in the push
control document.
Regarding PUSH_URL, what is the format of the URL? Is this something of the
form: "http://KANNEL_HOST_IP_ADDRESS:IP_PORT_OF_PPG";?
In addition, for my initial kannel.conf file with PPG configuration
information, I've stuck, for the most part, with the default configuration
in the Kannel User's Guide. I'm sure to change many of these values once I
begin sending PAP messages through the PPG. I'd appreciate suggestions
anyone has regarding difficult experiences you've had with PPG-related
configuration variables. For now, I have the following groups defined:
*       core
*       wapbox
*       smsbox
*       smsc
*       ppg
*       wap-push-user

Thank you for your help.
