| Doing HTTP Post using a WAP APN |
 |
Wed, 11 Jan 2006 14:04:36 +053 |
Hello,
I've been working on this problem for quite sometime.
Basically my application which does simple HTTP GET and POST
does not work using the WAP only APN on the operator- which is cheap.
It works fine with the open APN (WWW or Internet) - which is much more
expensive.
[ This is assuming that the proxy does not block certain URLs]
I did a work around which requires me to open a socket connection to the WAP
Proxy
and write HTTP request packets in to the socket. But this method does not
work with
some operators as I get a 503 - service unavailable message.
I wanted to know whether its possible to do a WAP Post - Mika Raeto has
given
a solution - but CWap classes are deprecated from 7.0 onwards which means it
will
not work on most of the phones.
The second way is for the application to emulate being the phone's WAP
browser because
the WAP browser on the phone works fine with any APN across the world.
Can someone please suggest a good way of doing this as there are
applications in the
world which are able to work fine with the WAP APNs around the world.
Thanks,
Sourabh.

We are in the same boat. Our application does not work (sometimes gives
a dns resolve error) when wap apn is selected. However, opera on my 6681
opens any webpage using those same wap apns. So I'm sure there must be
some way to do this.
The only meaningful difference between the wap apn and the iap I can see
is that wap apns have a proxy and port defined. IAPs don't have these
defined.
Please keep us informed if you find out any info and I'll do the same.
BTW, can you give me a link to Mika's solution?

Hi AMK
This is the link to Mika's Solution.
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/mraento/symbian/wap.html
He says his method works only with Symbian 6.1 - which
means most of the phones it'll not work.
The Socket solution I implemented works with Airtel WAP APN
but does not work with Hutch (Orange) WAP APN.
I think a simple soulution would be to do a WAP GET and POST
instead of HTTP.
I am going to implement something like this.

You also try it and lets keep each other posted if this works.

Hi Sirius,
Do you really want to get into the wap stack? I think it will be too
messy. I'm sure there's an easier or better way. As I mentioned, Opera
works with wap apns on a 6680/81/30. I have tested with BPL APNs, it
works fine with even the MMS APN and I tested Orange Wap and that works.

Hi AMK,
What solution have you implemented which works
with Orange WAP APN ?
Are you talking about the browser working or your
application also working with the WAP APN.
The Default WAP browser ( as well as the Opera browser)
in Series 60 phones of course works with the WAP APN.
So our application should try to do the same thing what
the WAP browser does.
Please let me know about your solution.
Regards,
Sirius.
