WAP

I configured a WAP server and a gateway. I installed my gateway on a machine running W2K Adv. Server, I set up a RAS configuration on my server, and I developed some WML pages. Here is my problem:
=> When I connect my server directly to another PC via a crossover cable or through a hub or switch, I can access the WML homepage;
=> When I use my phone by setting it up for a WAP connection, with my server hosting the gateway connected to my phone line, I dial the number (76 52 16), and I cannot access the homepage on my phone.

Question:

Is there a specific configuration needed on my server or my phone?
Is there a connection with my GSM phone operator or the fixed line operator?

    Hi,
    I know that there needs to be a gateway between the telephone network and the IP network of the WML servers, I suppose that's the role of the gateway you're talking about.
    The principle is here:
    http://www.commentcamarche.net/wap/wapintro.php3
    But if you have installed this type of gateway, I assume you already have more information than we do about its operation.
    What's it called by the way?

    And... There you go!

    I'm trying to understand how WAP works and I find it very interesting but I have a few questions. Can we only send HTTP requests via WAP? Let me explain: the gateway creates HTTP requests from the requests it receives from the mobile. Could we imagine a gateway that allows me to connect directly to an SQL database from my phone? Does this require a special client program installed on the mobile?
    On another note, where could I find documentation on programming a WAP gateway?
    Thank you!

    Hi everyone,
    I’m starting to get interested in WAP too
    I have a computer with ADSL connection and an IrDA sensor allowing me to communicate with my mobile (Nokia 6100)
    I would like to know if it is possible, through the infrared connection, to make my PC an internet gateway and use WAP from the phone using this gateway, instead of the plan?
    Thank you for your response, @++

    Hello

    I need your help regarding .wml pages.
    I have a simple page, I name it test_wml.wml
    whose content is as follows:

    <?

    header("Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml");

    ?>

    <wml>

    <card id="carte1" title="Home">

    <p>

    <do type="accept" label="Next">

    <go href="#carte2"/>

    </do>

    Wap, with the Webmaster!

    </p>

    </card>

    <card id="carte2" title="Next">

    <p>

    <do type="accept" label="Previous">

    <go href="#carte1"/>

    </do>

    This is the BEST!!

    </p>

    </card>

    </wml>

    *****************************
    I'm configuring httpd.conf
    by adding
    :
    AddType application/vnd.wap.wmlc .wmlc
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .pwml .php3 .php4 .php .php2
    .inc
    AddType text/vnd.wap.wml .wml
    AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscript .wmls
    AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc .wmlsc
    AddType image/vnd.wap.wbmp .wbmp

    but the problem is when I connect
    http://127.0.0.1/...test_wml.wml
    it doesn't display anything

    THANK YOU

    Hello Maximilien,

    I'm also trying to build my wap site.
    I already have a website that I host myself on Windows NT4.
    I tried to copy my wml files to my server directory, but when I try to access it from my mobile (Nokia 6230), I get the following message: no gateway response.
    I assume this message is because I have no gateway on my server.
    I'm desperately looking for how to install such a gateway on my server.
    I read that you had configured one. Can you please guide me through the steps?

    Thanks in advance
    Maxime

    Qu'est-ce qu'une clé WAP ???
    Je possède un MP4 Archos capable de se connecter par Wi-Fi et on me demande de rentrer la clé WAP afin de me connecter. J'ai beau rentrer tous les numéros et le code que je trouve, cela ne fonctionne pas. Alors j'aimerais savoir déjà qu'est-ce qu'une clé WAP ???
    Merci !!

      that's convenient,
      there's no such thing as a wap key.
      it's either WEP or WPA.
      WAP concerns mobile phones
