Default Need help with building a WAP site for downloads

I own and operate a couple of websites in the United States and I
would like to add a WAP directory that would offer free (really!)
ringtones, etc. for a variety of phones and services. The only problem
is that I don't know how! I have MySQL databases and plenty of space.
Does anyone out there have pre-written code and/or instructions on how
to implement such a thing? Please email
webmaster@NOSPAMcookevilletalks.net . Thanks a lot!

If you havn't passed just writing html you're in trouble.
wml is damn picky how it is written. And then there are
the mime types to fight over. it ain't easy

The basic setup is really not all that challenging once you know a few
things about the infrastructure:
WAP is analgous to HTTP. Both of them are merely ways to get documents
onto your computer.
WML and HTML are markup languages. Most phone browsers only understand
WML documents, which are much simpler than HTML.

WAP is optimized for small wireless devices. There is a single WAP
gateway that your provider runs. Let's say I go to cnn.com. Using
HTTP, my computer sends a request to the computer at cnn.com and asks
for a document. Using WAP, on the other hand, your phone sends a
request to your provider's WAP gateway. The WAP gateway then sends out
an HTTP request to the remote system to get the document.

What this means is, serving documents for a phone is just like serving
documents for any other web browser. You run a standard HTTP server
such as Apache, and give people a standard URL.

The key difference is that you usually need different documents,
written in WML. All documents on your web site have a MIME type. WML
documents are no different.

To configure apache, one of the config files needs the following:
AddType text/vnd.wap.wml wml
AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscript wmls
AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlc wmlc
AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc wmlsc

Then, Apache will tell your phone that the document "foo.wml" is of
type "text/vnd.wap.wml", and your phone will say "thank you, I know
what to do with that" and display it.

Ring tones have their own MIME types which you'll need to ensure are
configured on your server.

So, to summarize:
1. Add appropriate MIME types to your web server configuration.
2. Write a simple WML document (google will show you lots of
tutorials)
3. Enter the URL for it into your phone's browser

It really isn't any more complicated than standard web serving, just a
bit different.

You are a total fuck up Gopi. Try answering the question instead of
being a "know-it-all". The question was..."I have MysSQL database and
plenty of space.
Does anyone out there have pre-written code and/or instructions on how
to implement such a thing?" Why not give him something useful like
the MIME types for the ringtones?

Why not help him out and give some instructions on using a SQL
database or give him some pre-written code? Instead, once again you
have the need to be a know-it-all and post some stupid bullshit.

Your mother should have had an abortion, you kiss-ass T-Mobile loving

"and/or instructions"? I have him instructions. He's already a web
admin who deals with MySQL databases, so his old HTML-based database
code will be a good starting point.

> Why not give him something useful like the MIME types for the ringtones?


Apache, and most other web servers I've looked at, come with a large
collection of pre-defined MIME types, including MIDI and MP3, which
are commonly used for ring tones. I didn't think that telling somebody
what their server was already configured with was really necessary,
but, just to please you, here are some more MIME types:

audio/midi mid midi kar
audio/mpeg mpga mp2 mp3

> Why not help him out and give some instructions on using a SQL

Please re-read his post. He says that he already runs MySQL databases
and administers several web sites. The actual _code_ used to access a
database is the same regardless of the markup language you're using.
Telling him how to use MySQL would just be repeating information that
he said he already knew.

You can call it whatever you want, but it's what any web admin needs
to know if they're dealing with WAP/WML clients.

Hey you stupid fucking Iraqi asshole. Not only does your country suck,
but you do too. Stop speaking of Gopi like you do. Okay, so he is
fucked up american trash (like you put it) and he doesn't have any
good manners but that isn't any reason to speak about him this way.

P.s Do Iraqi's really smell like dog shit?
