Hi ,
Does nowsms support Post(doPost) request or it does only Get(doGet)..when
preparing url prgramatically i need to send parameters in header section
only cant it be send as payload..i.e if if send parameters in body wont
nowsms parse it?
what will the servlet will return if its successful?

what i will try is i will invoke url by payload as param=value seperated by
'&'

Thanks & Regards,
Sajid

Sajid,

We do not support text sending using an XML feed, NowSMS is capable of
formatting the message from an HTTP get action feed.

Hi Keith,


Thanks for your rely i have gone through this link.my requirement is to
send
text messages to n number of users pragmatically.i think there will be a
pattern/xml format(content-type/mime-type) which we need to do before we
send message to ppg host..Irrespective of message size.any clue and your
feedback will be appreciable.I am working on opencds project. i want to
integrate nowsms with opencds so i am sure there will be some standard
xml
format which can be push to ppgHost :http://localhost:8800/pap as shown
below

Sajid,


I do not have any Java examples but what you need to do is program the
Java
code to output an http get action, here is a link with more details on
that.

Hi Sajid,

I'm not clear whether you are trying to send text messages or WAP push messages.

The PAP interface is for WAP push messages only.

If you want to send text messages, you would normally build an HTTP GET URL string like described in the following link:

http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/sending_messages/sendin g_text_messages.htm

If you want to use HTTP POST, that is also ok. We do not use an XML format for the HTTP POST ... we use the standard web form POST encoding with the MIME type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

When you use HTTP POST, all of the HTTP GET variables are instead sent in the POST data, specifying "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" as the "Content-Type:" (standard web form POST format). Just put all of the variables (everything after the "?") in the post data instead of the URL, and remove the "?" off of the URL. This way you get around any length limitations that your scripting language might impose on HTTP GET URL length.
