Hi,
this indeed would be useful, when we send over SMS.

Hi,
A feature I would like to have / implement in Kannel is HTTP header
filtering.
Most urgent I would like this feature for the PPG.
Currently, if you submit e.g. by "curl" a PPG request, the
generated short message(s) even contains the "curl" user-agent,
together with some other useless headers of the "outer" HTTP
request. This is certainly not worth extending the push from 1 to 2
short messages.
However, I think the feature of filtering headers also for normal
WAP requests and responses makes sense.
E.g., the "Server" header is included in nearly every HTTP
response, but rarely of use for a mobile client.
I would like to suggest a header white-list and a header black-list
that can be configured in Kannel, e.g.
For wapbox:
request-headers-white-list / request-headers-black-list
response-headers-white-list / response-headers-black-list
For PPG:
headers-white-list
headers-black-list
A useful sample for the PPG would be:
group = ppg
headers-white-list = "X-Wap-Application-Id Content-Type"
I understand that filtering especially HTTP request headers for Wap
requires in-depth understanding of HTTP.
But I would prefer a "symetric" solution.
Could I get comments on this?
Best regards,
Georg
