Need help

Hi,
   I still have a problem when I try to receive binary sms from mobile
phone. I received advice from Andreas Fink. Thanks him for that!
But as I understand the parameters he proposed to set up related to the
situation when we want to send SMS from gateway to device.
I want to set coding parameter and charset parameter to gateway. So it can
use them when he converts binary data to URL. In specification we have %С
and %с. But that is used when we want to receive information about coding
and charset from gateway. They isn't used to set up that parameters. I wrote
advice and problem description below. Could you tell me how I can tune the
gateway to receive correct data. Thank you!

ADVICE:

A GSM phone doesnt use WINDOWS-1252 charset but it uses GSM-Charset..

The GSM character set is 7 bit, so you can not have values of 128-159
in it.
very few characters are coded with an escape sequence.

I think your problem is that if you send binary message, you should
tell kannel that its binary 8 bit instead of standard 7 bit. Kannel
will otherwise try to convert. I presume it will try converting from
ISO (not Windows 1252) to GSM and back. Setting the coding parameter
to the right value (see users guide) should make it send binary 8 bit
messages.


if used in passing it on http to kannel pass it as &coding=...

HTTP Get:
&coding=
message coding: 0 (default, 7 bits), 1 (8 bits) or 2 (Unicode)
&charset=
as in Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

HTTP Put:.
X-Kannel-Coding for message coding
If unset, defaults to 0 (7 bits) if Content-Type is text/plain , text/html
or text/vnd.wap.wml.
On application/octet-stream, defaults to 8 bits (1). All other Content-Type
values are rejected.
Content-Type for charset

if used in receiving a URL from kannel, use the placeholder %c for the
coding parameter and %C for the charset parameter

from Kannel -> http server:
%c message coding: 0 (default, 7 bits), 1 (8 bits) or 2 (Unicode)
%C message charset: for a "normal" message, it will be "GSM" (coding=0),
"binary" (coding=1) or "UTF-16BE" (coding=2). If the message was
successfully recoded from Unicode, it will be "WINDOWS-1252"
