RE: Adding new HTTP smsc in kannel

I think what Djiby wants is what I have been trying to code for the past couple of days... an HTTP smsc where you can describe the names of the parameters used by the other side to send us an MO message as well as what you did for MT. The idea is as follows:

	We have a set of parameters likes:

	URL-from = "foo"
	URL-to   = "bar"
	URL-UDH  = "target"

	That way we know how to parse the arguments given to the http request and we know what to do with them and how to process them. I already have about 9 of those parameters and I can already parse a request like:

	http://<ip>:<port>/<cgiscript>?foo=1234&bar=17133456785&target=This+is+my+message

	Now if someone has already worked on this more than me and thinks he is closer to completion I'll be more than glad to submit my work to him.

	I called this http smsc custom when finalized should be able to replace some of the predefined http smsc's. I might need someone's help to guide me though the process of keeping an ID string that we might have to receive in the MO get and pass it back to the http smsc in the MT get. This is actually the case I have which requires me to receive a message like:

	http://<ip>:<port>/<cgiscript>?foo=1234&bar=17133456785&target=This+is+my+message&ID=1234567890123456

	and when replying back I have to get something like:

	http://<ip>:<port>/<cgiscript>?foo=1234&bar=17133456785&target=This+is+my+reply&ID=<the ID we got with the MO>

Hi Djiby,

now, I have added a HTTP SMSC type 'generic' then can be used for "natively
easy" HTTP APIs that use pure HTTP GET and you define a regex expression to
define the success/failure outcome on the HTTP response.

See Kannel user's guide at:

http://www.kannel.org/download/kannel-userguide-snapshot/userguide.html#AEN2212

and you find the following example group described:

  group = smsc
  smsc = http
  system-type = generic
  port = 13015
  send-url = "http://www.foobar.com/mt.php?from=%P&to=%p&text=%b"
  status-success-regex = "ok"
  status-permfail-regex = "failure"
  status-tempfail-regex = "retry later"

Is this what you intend?
