Aarno, Thank you for your response to my submission to the Kannel User Group. I've (hopefully) one last set of questions regarding the PUSH_URL parameter to the test_ppg program.
Copied from your message, the full form of the PUSH_URL parameter is http://WAPBOX_IP_ADDRESS:PORT_OF_PPG/CONFIGURED_PUSH_URL/USERNAME=CONFIGURED _USERNAME&PASSWORD=CONFIGURED_PASSWORD. Here's my additional questions: 1. If, for testing purposes, I don't specify a username/password for PPG access, can I disregard the "/USERNAME=...PASSWORD" part of PUSH_URL? 2. The CONFIGURED USERNAME and CONFIGURED PASSWORD values are the ppg-username and ppg-password values, respectively defined in the "group = wap-push-user" entry in my kannel.conf file, correct? 3. Does the ppg-username account need to exist as a login on the host on which the PPG resides? If so, are there any requirements for the login (other than the login password being set to ppg-password, I imagine)? 4. An example of a call to 'test_ppg' on page 115 of the User's Guide shows test_ppg being called with a first parameter of "http://name:port?username=foo&password=bar";. Does this mean that the "CONFIGURED PUSH URL" portion of the full PUSH_URL parameter is not a required portion of the parameter? 5. How is the "CONFIGURED PUSH URL" portion of the PUSH_URL parameter to test_ppg defined? I didn't see any examples in test_ppg.c or in the User's Guide to use as a model for this portion of the parameter. Thank you again. -Ira Rosen -----Original Message----- From: Aarno Syv�nen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 11:42 PM To: Rosen Ira-IROSEN1 Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: PPG Message Request Format Rosen Ira-IROSEN1 kirjoittaa tiistaina, 2. hein�kuuta 2002, kello 07:22: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.
