Ok, got the new docs almost ready, but have a doubt over the encoding for sendsms.
What happens if I want to send data with "=", "?" or "&" ? Should I double-urlencode it? For example, if I want to send "mydata=Hello Goodbye" Over sendsms, I'd probably get away with this: meta-data=%3Fsmpp%3Fmydata= Hello%20Goodbye But, how do I code it if I want to send "mydata=Hello & Goodbye" or anything carrying one of the delimiters? A single urlencoding won't do the trick because the "&" inside the key/value pair would look identical to the one separating the meta-data parameter from the rest. Is the format like this then?: URLENCODE(?URLENCODE(<smsc-type1>)? URLENCODE(key1)=URLENCODE(value1)&URLENCODE(key2)=URLENCODE(value2)&...?URLENCODE(<smsc-type2>)?URLENCODE(key1)=URLENCODE(value1)&... ) or in other words: URLENCODE( <urlencoded meta-data string> ) Regards, Alejandro On Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 11:10 AM, Stipe Tolj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Alexander Malysh schrieb: > > Hi, > > > > great thanks! > > > > Could you please better describe meta-data format because it unclear how > > to code it, here is the format accepted by meta-data patch: > > > > meta-data = ?URLENCODE(group-name)?URLENCODE(key1)=URLENCODE(value1)... > > > > then if you send it e.g. for MT: > > > > .../sendsms?meta-data=URLENCODE(meta-data) > > great wok Alejandro. > > Agree'ing with Alex here.
