One I have implemented here, and might be worth me building in to the source.

Here's the scenario - I have an inbound SMS gateway which triggers (using an sms-service) a 'get' based request to a remote server. That server then replies in the same session (it's a get, not a post) with the response to send to the phone.

Now, what I want to do is to be able to trigger the inbound sms part of the conversation using a web based call so that the remote server is still called with a 'get' request, but the response from the server initiates a new outbound SMS to the phone number it is 'receieved' from.

Basically

MO -> SMSBOX -> http -> SMSBOX -> MT

becomes

URL -> SMSBOX -> http -> SMSBOX -> MT

If the request was a 'post' with a 'response' it would be easy as we're creating a new message each time, however the 'get' is all part of the same session.

So, what I've done to achieve this today is

URL -> http based smsbox forbidden from using all but one default route -> http -> SMSBOX -> MT

However, I'm think that if I implemented /cgi-bin/receive-sms we could trigger this whole process much cleaner.

Anyone else think this would be useful? Also I am addding parameter compatibility between /cgi-bin/sendsms and http smsboxes so that they can both accept the same format of parameters.
