Re: Claro http communication

To receive MO's, Kannel listens on an HTTP port for requests, like a  
regular web server. Each http-smsc implements a slightly different  
interface (some accept http params, other xml documents, etc), but the  
underlying principle remains the same and is implemented on the <your  
smsc here>_receive_sms function in smsc_http.c.
