Hello users,
I host a wap site, wherein Wap Gateway appends MSISDN in headers and forwards it to my wap site. I want to bill any mobile station who downloads from my wap links hosted on my wap site. How should i go about this. Possible ways:
1> I detect the msisdn from http headers and give the content i.e., gprs bearer , upon successful completion of writing data into stream i bill the msisdn.
2> Operator will integrate and bill so that any content downloaded from my wap site will be billed apart from Flat GPRS billing.
I cant think more than this. If i choose step 1, then would it be a right approach. Then is there anyway to track that mobile station has successfully downloaded the whole file.
first of all, billing of WAP pages/content is out of scope of Kannel's WAP gateway. That will be the job of your application backend.
wapbox does have an access.log, but it does _not_ log the MSISDN, since that HTTP header that is "injected" by your operator may be named individually by the WAP gw. There is no WAP protocoll construct to have the MSISDN transported allong the WAP request/response process. Therefore wapbox would never know which HTTP header is actually encoding the MSISDN. That's why it is not logged.
But anyway, you are not using Kannel as a WAP gateway as far as I understand.
