Hi Alex,
again...
.../sendsms?meta-data=URLENCODE(?URLENCODE(<smsc-type1>)?URLENCODE(key1)=URLENCODE(value1)&URLENCODE(key2)=URLENCODE(value2)&...?URLENCODE(<smsc-type2>)?URLENCODE(key1)=URLENCODE(value1))&...
and for your example:
.../sendsms?meta-data=%3Fsmpp%3Fmydata%3DHello%2B%2526%2BGoodbye
Hope that's clear now.
Thanks,
Alex

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

great wok Alejandro.
Agree'ing with Alex here. The encoding format of the HTTP GET
'meta-data' value
has to be clear from the user's guide, especially the usage of the
'?' question
marks to separate the SMSC protocol module parts of the whole string.
In fact I would generalize like this:
data =
?<smsc-type1>?key1=value1&key2=value2&...?<smsc-type2>?key1=value1&...
meta-data = urlencode( data )
