Hi Guys, I am still struggling with with Kannel pull messages. My provider's SMSC guys are still working on routing sms's to my box. They seem to be taking time with that so I am simulating that part by doing a HTTP request via a web browser from another client as follows:
http://x.x.x.x:13003/nmc/app.php?sender=1234567&msg=Test+message where x.x.x.x is my Kannel box IP address. The Kannel smsbox logs show the following: 2008-01-22 09:22:38 [10403] [3] INFO: smsbox: Got HTTP request </nmc/app.php> fr om <10.10.32.34> 2008-01-22 09:22:38 [10403] [3] DEBUG: Status: 404 Answer: <Unknown request.> 2008-01-22 09:22:38 [10403] [3] DEBUG: HTTP: Resetting HTTPClient for `10.10.32. 34'. Please explain why I am getting a 404 (unknown request) while the file exists.
