Re: SMPP 3.4 C-Octet String Termination

Alexander

Not sure if that's true.

According to the SMPP3.4 specs "C-Octet String A series of ASCII characters
terminated with the NULL character. Notes: (i) Reference made to NULL
settings of Octet-String fields implies that the field consists of a single
NULL character, i.e., an octet encoded with value 0x00 (zero)."

Which would mean it's valid to send a message content of <message received>

2003-02-26 12:24:42 [6] DEBUG: SMPP[Vittel]: Got PDU:

which then is translated by Kannel as

2003-02-26 12:24:42 [6] INFO: Starting to service <Alex@> from
<447740305115> to <80118>

which is defintiely wrong.

Yes, no?
