You got me ;) Yes, but tell what is unclear in the documentation,
this will help.
I think real problem her is test_ppg documentation. Even though
this is actually
just a test program, people will use is at least as a skeleton for
a push initiator (PI).
Am I right here ?
To start with, PI speaks to PPG using a separate protocol, called
PAP. So you must
create PAP document (MIME multipart) and send it to PPG. However,
Kannel sources
contain an example PI, at yes/test_ppg.c. A the name implies, it
is originally a test
program, but it is a working PI, as it must be for testing Kannel
Test_ppg will combine to xml documents, push control document and
push content
document into a proper multipart PAP. Kannel sources contains
examples of both.
There is control document for sending over GSM network, test/
smstestppg.txt:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE pap PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD PAP//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/pap_1.0.dtd";>
<pap>
<push-message push-id="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
deliver-before-timestamp="2005-11-15T06:45:00Z"
deliver-after-timestamp="2001-02-28T06:45:00Z"
progress-notes-requested="false">
<address address-value="WAPPUSH=+41796512294/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
</address>
<quality-of-service
priority="low"
delivery-method="unconfirmed"
network-required="true"
network="gsm"
bearer-required="true"
bearer="sms">
</quality-of-service>
</push-message>
</pap>
As you see, xml document is quite readable. Most important field
here the address, which is a
hone number of international format. Note that /
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a part of
address meaning type is plmn, as defined by ppg.gni.ch. Latter is
used for user defined
types.
There another example push control file, iptestppg.txt. This can
be used with simulators,
it uses ip as an address.
Content can be SI, SL, or MMS. Recommended plain wap push content
is SI, because all
phones to not accept SL. Kannel sources again contain example SI
document, tst/si,txt:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE si PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD SI 1.0//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/si.dtd";>
<si>
<indication href="http://www.gni.ch";
si-id="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
action="signal-high"
created="1999-06-25T15:23:15Z"
si-expires="2006-06-30T00:00:00Z">
You have 4 new emails
</indication>
</si>
The most important thing here is href field, which tells to the
phone what url it should load. Notice that with si there are
follwing known issues:
a) obviously, your phone must accept pushes. This is not a
default, in many cases,
you must configure the phone.
b) si-id must be diffrent for different pushes
c) action signal-high quarantess that every phone will notify the
push immediately.
d) and remember to set expiry filed properly ;)
After test_ppg has created the PAP document, it POSTs it to PPG
(notice: PI really
does POST, not GET. Lack of body generates an error message). Pi
would add
mandatory multipart headers, and some optional ones (more about
these later).
Basic way to start test_ppg is following (using exmaple files
mentioned earlier):
test_ppg [options] push_url si.txt smstestppg.txt
(You can get this information by typing .just test_ppg)
With options you can add various headers:
-c: The content type, if not si
-a: This is push client application in the phone that handles the
content. You do
not need to set it, if you are doing plain push.
-b set username pass word headers
-e Transfer encoding (base64 is currently supported)
-m value: set header X-Kannel-DLR-Mask
-u value: set header X-Kannel-DLR-Url
with option -S, you can add any header you want

Actually there's no doubt there's a problem with PPG...
PPG is a topic that comes to the list very often, and
documentation about it is not clear enough...
I don't see also much difference between that tutorial from the
IBM site and the Kannel docs... they both explain more or less
the same things, and both explain a bit of the use of the
test_ppg program...
But I don't want to use the test_ppg program, and I don't think
most of us want to use it either on their systems...
I just want to know which is the way to invoke the PPG server to
send the control and SI, and that seems to not be documented at
all...
Some time ago I used the PPG server of a carrier, and I sended a
POST request with the control part and the SI, I suppose with
this it must be similar, but there's no place where this is
described...
And the configuration of PPG is also not very clear, and the
huge quantity of mails about this topic makes it clear it's not
well domcumented...
There's good info on how to use sendsms, the variables you can
use with it, some examples, and many examples also on the
mailing-list, but almost nothing on PPG...
I haven't seen any mail on the mailing-list in the more or less
2 years that I'm subscribed to the list that clarifies this
mistery...
Shouldn't then documentation about this topic be clarified?
I don't want anyone to send me a PHP script that does everything
for me, I just want to know how this must be configured and
done... and when all this is clarified I will be very glad to
post here a PHP script for sending Wap Pushes with PPG so
everyone can benefit from it.
Is there anyone who knows how this works and that is willing to
explain a bit of this mistery?
I think it would be something very positive for the Kannel
community, and we're going to save precious time on future
questions about it, since it's a recurrent topic on the mailing-
list, which has never been solved AFAIK...
Thanks in advance,
Juan

( PPG - Kannel )
Hi Cool,
We all use Kannel (that is why we are here), we all are working
people, and this list is a "best effort" one. Declaring a
subject as
"URGENT", from my point of view, will not help you, as we all have
"urgent" matters to attend every day.
Kannel lists (users and devel) do answer to simple
questions, if
you try to answer them beforehand and you can´t get to a result.
The
user guide is a good start point, maybe it´s not as simple to
understand as other guides, but try to read it more than one time.
Follow the steps needed to connect, test and test again your
configuration file. Check and double check your logs. They are a
very
valuable tool to pinpoint your errors (or Kannel bugs).
You have posted questions about PPG before, but as I see,
you have
not yet even tryed to give the firsts steps in testing it. So
please,
grab the guide, type some lines, crash Kannel a few times, and
IF you
find you have made all you are capable of, come back to the list,
provide log excerpts, configuration files, etc. and we will be
glad to
help you.
Have a nice day.
Rodrigo.
