It appears that the application on the other side of your get-url
is interpreting the '+' (%2B) in front of he phone number as a space
character and does not know how to handle the situation when there
is a space between the 'msisdn=' and the phone number.
You can do one of the following:
- Strip out the '+' in front of the phone numbers before sending
it using get-url via:
unified-prefix = "-,+"
in either your 'group = core' or 'group = smsc' section.
- Use post-url and modify your application to expect the CGI
variables to be sent to it via stdin. Then have your application
understand that "msisdn= 6285590001xx" is really
"msisdn=+6285590001xx".
- Make your "logic" program understand that the command line
argument:
msisdn= 6285590001xx&msg=test
is really:
msisdn=+6285590001xx&msg=test
My opinion would be to do the post-url since that would prevent
someone from forcing your "logic" application from executing arbitrary
commands. What happens when your logic application is called by the
following URLs:
(if UNIX system)
http://1.2.3.4/logic/?msisdn=%3Becho%2BHello%3E%2Ffile.txt
(if Windows system)
http://1.2.3.4/logic/?msisdn=%3Becho%2BHello%3E%5Cfile.txt
Do you get a file in your toplevel directory with the content of "Hello"?
See ya...
d.c.
