I'm confused, so I'll try and explain my question a bit better:
I have a client that uses my kannel as a WAP gateway. It does some POST (or WSP equivalent of one) requests. At some later point I need to send this client a WAP push message. The push message requires an address - either an MSISDN or an IPV4 address. Is there any way I can compose this address, according to information I have from the client's POST requests?
Depends :-)
If you want your push to work in all cases (i.e. including when the user has disconnected from the WAP gateway or the GPRS network), you need the user's MSISDN, so the WAP push can be sent over SMS. If the user connects to your own WAP gateway via your own NAS (which excludes GPRS), and the information is not hidden somehow, you can get the user's MSISDN from RADIUS accounting info send by the NAS. In some other cases, you might get this info (or some other information that can be correlated back to the user) from the carrier if you have a deal with them. Otherwise (the vast majority of cases), you just have to ask the user!
Hope that helps,
Jacques.
