ok, from my understanding, it is possible to download a linked
image,ringtone,game from a .wml page, through a gateway, to a phone.
I am running kannel (bearerbox/wapbox) with the standard configs.
I setup a small .wml page with a bunch of images linked from it (.gif .jpg
png (and an ugly back and white) .wbmp )
After starting kannel and pointing my phone to the gateway and to the
web-page, the page loads fine, i see a list of the files as expected.
I click on the link and i see it loading on the phone and hex data in the
kannel log. After a few seconds, the phone says invalid data, and the log
says "content-type <image/png> not supported" or image/jpg whatever,
depending on the image type.
I KNOW this phone supports atleast .gif (it came w/ some gif files on it)
I'm pretty sure it would support jpeg too it's a Motorola T730.
I'm really confused here, i must be overlooking something simple? Or is
there something missing from kannel that commercial wap gateways (like
verizon's) have that allow this?
Would mms be a better way to go about this? Also, i don't really understand
how kannel handles mms and sms, do i need a gsm modem on the server? or
does it contact the phone some other way? and, will it avoid the costs of
verizons sms/mms fees?
Thanks in advance for any info.
