sms concatenation solution

Hi,

 

I had this problem with concatenated messages not being 7-bit encoded. The
message was send from Kannel to the SMSC as 8 bit (data_coding set to SMSC
Default Alphabet) and it was messed up (by the SMSC) when delivered to the
phone. 

 

I have found one solution to this problem. There is a function that encodes
Octstr to 7-bit Octstr (according to the GSM 03.38) in smsc_at.c file of the
Kannels snapshot version: 

 

Octstr* at2_encode7bituncompressed(Octstr *source, int offset)

 

In the smsc_smpp.c file I've changes the msg_to_pdu function to encode the
data if there is a UDH and if the coding is set to SMSC default alphabet
(I'm using Kannel 1.3.1). 

 

This works fine in my setup, but it might not cover all of the possible
scenarios. Please send your coments.

 

Regards,

Sasko
