Recently I performed a WAP Push test on my Nokia handphone using Service
Indication (SI). I receive a message in my "Service Inbox" where I can
retrieve certain information as indicated in my wap push content via SI.
I also perform another test by sending MMS pictures from another phone to my
Nokia handphone, on my nokia phone I receive "Multimedia Message received".
Anybody knows how can I achieve this through kannel WAP Push? How can I push
pictures directly to the handphone?
Hi Peter,
within the WAP Push types SI or SL you can specify an URL as target, this can
also be a picture, in terms of supported graphics format, gif,jpeg or whatever.
You generally can't "push" a MMS via the URL.
Why, because the phone usually does not interpret the MMS content-type within
the scope of the WAP browser, only within the scope of the MMS browser client,
which is again triggered via the appropriate port that is addressed via the WAP
Push when a MMS notification is terminating on the device.
So, you can WAP Push the MMS notification, which will include the URL do pull
for. But(!) generally the MMS setups on phones and the architectures of the
telcos will not allow to pull other URLs than the own MMSC.
If you put a URL in a SI or SL to a HTTP server serving the binary encoded MMS
file itself, even with correct mime-type, the browser will say "unsupported type".
The problem of it all is the lack in mime-type bindings on the device. The WAP
browser usually doesn't know anything about MMS stuff and vice versa.
