WAP/WML Cell phones

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

WAP/WML Cell phones

Post by AGI1122 »

Does anybody out there have a cell phone with WAP/WML support?

If so do you think you could check out:

If I did everything right you should be able to browse around the CBB board using your cell phone.

I have tested it on an emulator:

But I don't want to rely on the emulator, I need to know that it works on real cell phones.

Got a "Unknown file content" error on my Nokia 7110...

Was that on the main page, or a specific part of the CBB site?

Does your cell phone Support WML 1.1?

Try it now, I think I just had the content type wrong.

Main page, and my phone supports 1.1 (or should, I paid for getting the software in my phone upgraded).
Now I got a weird thing. Check down.

Service unavailable? That sounds more like a phone problem than a site problem. Could you try some other wap/wml sites to make sure that isn't just your phone and not my site.

By the way, what content type did you use?

This is what header I am sending:

Code: Select all

Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml

Just checked, 724 Solutions made the gateway used by my ISP... It is meant to convert WML to binary format used by phones and from TCP protocol to WDP protocol. I think something (I don't know what though) is wrong with your site.

Do you mean the site itself, or the wml script?

That link you gave me only validates XML... this is WML. I checked it in a WML validator, and it validates... so the source is correct, it's something else that is wrong. :-/

Probably with the site, as the validator showed the code is correct (sorry about XML validator, I copied the wrong link from the list :)).

I can only go along with what the docs say I used this site to develop it:

http://www.w3schools.com/wap/default.asp

According to this site, I have done everything correct, the mime types are set up in my host, the content type is correct, and my code is right... not sure what else there is that could be causing it not to work.

I beleive I was able to fix it, when I tried viewing it in Internet explorer, IE gave me an XML error, which might have been the problem, it has been fixed, and it still works on the emulators, so try it now to see if that might have been the problem.
