hello,

the instruction below refers:

Check "Forward MSISDN to Content Servers", and add your local domain name as a content domain. The

gateway will then include the MSISDN in any requests to content servers within any listed domains. For example, if “operator.net” is listed as a supported content domain, then the MSISDN would be forwarded to a content server named “mms.operator.net”, or a content server simply named “operator.net”. The gateway will forward the MSISDN to the content server in all HTTP requests sent to the content server, using the HTTP “X-MSISDN:” header.



Is there a way i can get a trace of the exact message that is sent to each content server, so i can verify that the MSISDN is sent as the header?

i am configuring Now!WAP as gateway to an MMSC, and the MMSC expects the header of the MMS to be the MSISDN. i have configured as instructed in the forums but, while MMS shows sent, it doesnt show 'delivered' so i need to trace if the header is sent... thanks.

Hi,

You can enable the WAPDEBUG.LOG by editing WAPGW.INI, and adding Debug=Yes under the [WAPGW] header. This will provide you with some detail.

But for this type of activity, you might be better of using Ethereal (www.ethereal.com) with the WinPCap library, as this lets you do real time data captures to analyze things.

Keep in mind that the MSISDN is only going to be available if it is available to NowWAP in the first place. So you'll want to enable the WAPDEBUG.LOG to see if the Radius accounting feed is being received by NowWAP.

Recent versions of NowWAP also generate RADIUS-yyyymmdd.LOG files with details about RADIUS transactions.

I say all this because if your problem is that the MSISDN is not being presented ... it is probably an issue that your access server is not properly configured to forward the MSISDN to NowWAP via Radius accounting.
