Re: Claro http communication

Hi,

Besides, only MTs are pushed through kannel's HTTP interface. MO's are not. 
Hervi clearly talks about MOs. kannel also offers all these nifty 
sms-services, which would have to be built from scratch.

An interesting question is how do you receive SMS over HTTP. Do you poll the 
SMSc HTTP every 5" to see if there are any new SMS or DLRs?

BR,
Nikos

Milan,

There are already several HTTP SMSC specific implementations on
Kannel, the ones that HervΞΉ mentioned are some of them.

Of course you can do it directly without Kannel, but it's a good
approach to do it via Kannel, so that you always use it as your
gateway and not one method for some carriers and another one for
others, It's also nice to do it via Kannel cause it already implements
stuff like it's internal queue, etc
