 Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2006 4:17 pm Post subject: Problems with WMLScript |
 |
|
I recently used Abyss for some WML development and encountered problems when trying to run WMLScript (.wmls) files.
I'm pretty sure my MIME types are configured properly as .wml files are running fine but I can't run .wmls files.
In any case, this is my MIME setting for .wmls files:
text/vnd.wap.wmlscript wmls
Any idea what's wrong?
Update: To be exact, Openwave Simulator gives me an "Unsupported Content Type" error message. |

| Can anyone be kind enough to check it out? I would greatly appreciate it because if I can't get Abyss to work I'd have to switch to IIS, something which I'd rather not. |

Have you added the MIME type, as it is already defined?
(not sure if it would be a problem if there was two mime types defined)

I take it you know that wmlscript is a client side language

I suppose this is something only aprelium would know about...

eltiel,
Changing the web server will not help as .wmls files are a client side technology, i.e. the files are requested by the client (the browser) and processed by it and not by the web server.
So check your log file first and verify that the .wmls file is actually requested by the client.
Try using the tool WebBug for example to request the .wmls file URL and to check that the MIME Type is correctly included in the response http://www.cyberspyder.com/webbug.html .
What are the results of both tests?

Yeah I'm sure I added the correct MIME types because I triple-checked it. When at first it didn't work I removed all WAP-related types and re-entered them but it still didn't work.

Actually I'm entirely new to this WML thing, which is why I encountered problems so early in the beginning. And I just found out that wmlscript is a client side language.
I'm pretty sure that the wmlscript was requested because I could clearly see it from my Firefox (just believe me on this). But in any case I tested the WebBug tool and it returned this:
------------
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/vnd.wap.wmlscript
....
------------
Is there anything wrong with it? I just can't see the problem no matter how many times I check. |

Have you tried browsing the page using a normal wap phone?
from the faq on the openwave simulator
| Quote: | Q: Do I need a WAP gateway?
A: No. The default configuration for the Phone Simulator V7 is in "http-direct" mode where it will run on an HTTP stack, using a local DNS lookup If you wish, you can connect the Phone Simulator to a WAP gateway by running on the WSP stack, connecting to the Openwave Developer Mobile Access Gateway (devgate2). |

*I have highlighted some of the text to show the difference between the two and why it might not work

I'm a little confused here.. I managed to make it work but with the strangest method.
I used Openwave Simular version 4.11. Ancient, but working. No additional configurations were done, I just installed it and it ran fine.
And as far as I can see, the default setting for v4.11 was HTTP-Direct too.
Any known reason for such behaviour? |
