Hi all,
I have the XML engine Cocoon 1.8.2 configured
to run with the Web server Apache 1.3.19
If a request for an XML file, that is being sent
to the Apache content server is coming from either
a Nokia, UPSDK or a Ericsson R380 device then
cocoon recognizes it as a WAP request and returns
the appropriate WAP content. To make Cocoon recognize
requests coming from these WAP devices I have to
add these phone names in the cocoon.properties file:
browser.1 = wap=Nokia
browser.2 = wap=UP
browser.3 = wap=R380
________________ FOR WAP

The dots below Ericsson r380 are for other
phone models which may have been added in
the cocoon.properties file for which cocoon
is to return WAP content. For requests coming
from HTTP agents such as Netscape or IE cocoon
throws HTML content.
It is very irritating to add each and every phone
model in the cocoon.properties and then restart
Apache each time. So I decided to install Kannel
which is supposedly a WAP gateway. My plan is to
write one line in the cocoon.properties file
browser.1 = wap=kannel
and then tell all my clients to connect to
my site using the Kannel gateway.

But what is the name by which kannel
makes its WAP request? Is it the bearerbox-
hostname (as in bearerbox-host variable
in kannel.conf) or what? What should I
write in the cocoon.properties to make
cocoon recognize Kannel as a WAP agent?
Sorry for the long-winded story here.
Eagerly awaiting a reply.
Thanks in advance.
