Forgot another _crucial_ thing! How does the phone get to your MMSC HTTP server (mmsbox). Via public (GPRS) or private (dial-in) IP connectivity?
Why I'm asking this is simple. Phones do _not_ include their own MSISDN into the "From:" header that is in the MMS Encap PDUs. The MMS clients are not aware (technically spoken) what their MSISDN is. Hence they put the "<put address in here>" tag into that From: header. It's then up to the MMSC to "know" the MSISDN of that HTTP request. Here comes the "MSISDN provisioning" concept into play. Your WAP GW (Kannel?) should forward the MSISDN number via designated HTTP header (see gw/wap-appl.c code) to the MMSC. Hence wapbox needs to run with RADIOUS accounting proxy thread to "grap" the MSISDN from the NAS (network access server) via RADIUS acct packts. If you run this over the public network (GPRS), it's obvious that they won't provide you the RADIUS acct packets and hence you will be "unable to see" the MSISDN of the client that you currently have IP traffic with. Just some more cents to the big MMSC story. (I should write a damn concept paper on this and make it to my master thesis at Berkeley ;) Stipe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wapme Systems AG Vogelsanger Weg 80 40470 Düsseldorf, NRW, Germany phone: +49.211.74845.0 fax: +49.211.74845.299 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wapme-systems.de/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (Cygwin) mIsEP6mcYwEEAMDnUiUwrbb+xwTFWN6TxF2+XZu7/alwJMeCwMBRvXtPZqfjpPhS OkBpU0F4TrVuugz1HINTSaJTYq10AzDQXp5NkyWgckqW79nPAWuOX0dicbJk+cN2 nM2TI4KaxUDe6u8hghNEnH/i2lXsUu9apnP/iixzV81VC2je3uc9hZpnAAYptEVT dGlwZSBUb2xqIChUZWNobm9sb2d5IENlbnRlciAmIFJlc2VhcmNoIExhYikgPHRv bGpAd2FwbWUtc3lzdGVtcy5kZT6ItAQTAQIAHgUCP6mcYwIbAwYLCQgHAwIDFQID AxYCAQIeAQIXgAAKCRABV0w1BqPYRuSqA/wPzsQxao2YePENCtgRTrO86U6zg3sl OcS6CJFI4FZP5h/xD3GRsNH1+MPSvZlomDdpFnr547DGz/Kq9MXuQwVvlVig5yWZ K5dtKp1r5YLhxJQBhfirZbRFFnYmf19f18J8OoS28tuFVftDl1AIwJS3HLyBTv6H g2HyLAEKQIp30Q== =aYCI -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
