Yes. Based on your content type declaration in the HTTP headers, Kannel will set it's coding to the proper value. Just remember there's one exception to this rule. If you are sending UCS-2 encoded text then you will need to set the content-type to: text/plain; charset=UTF-16BE Also, ensure you have a correct content-length HTTP header declaration for any 8-bit content you send with content-type of "application/octet-stream". Making it guess will waste alot of time growing the input buffer. See ya... d.c.
