Variable

Value

Description

 

 

The pair is separated with space.

 

 

Adds a single mapping for the

 

 

left side URL to the given

 

 

destination. If you append an

 

 

asterisk ‘*’ to the left side URL,

 

 

its prefix Is matched against the

 

 

incoming URL. Whenever the

 

 

prefix matches, the URL will be

 

 

replaced completely by the right

 

 

side. In addition, if if you append

 

 

an asterisk to the right side URL,

 

 

the part of the incoming URL

 

 

coming after the prefix, will be

 

 

appended to the right side URL.

 

 

Thus, for a line: map-url =

 

 

"http://source/*

 

 

http://destination/*" and an

 

 

incoming URL of

 

 

"http://source/some/path", the

 

 

result will be

map-url

URL-pair

"http://destination/some/path"

 

 

If you need more than one

 

 

mapping, set this to the highest

 

 

number mapping you need. The

 

 

default gives you 10 mappings,

 

 

numbered from 0 to 9. Default: 9

map-url-max

number

 

 

 

Adds a mapping for the left side

 

 

URL to the given destination

 

 

URL. Repeat these lines, with 0

 

 

replaced by a number up to

 

 

map-url-max, if you need several

map-url-0

URL-pair

mappings.

 

 

Adds a mapping for the URL

 

 

DEVICE:home (as sent by

 

 

Phone.com browsers) to the

 

 

given destination URL. There is

 

 

no default mapping. NOTE: the

 

 

mapping is added with both

 

 

asterisks, as described above for

 

 

the "map-url" setting. Thus, the

 

 

above example line is equivalent

 

 

to writing map-url =

 

 

"DEVICE:home*

device-home

URL

http://some.where/*"

WAP and SMS gateway specifications

Nokia has long been a pivotal player in the telecommunications industry, and its contributions to mobile communication technology are numerous. Among these contributions, the Nokia WAP and SMS Gateway stand out as essential elements in enabling mobile internet access and messaging services in the early days of wireless communication.

The Nokia WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) gateway was introduced to facilitate mobile access to the internet and to allow users to interact with web services through their mobile devices. Built on a client-server architecture, the WAP gateway acted as a bridge between the mobile network and the internet, translating traditional web content into a format that mobile devices could effectively render. This conversion was crucial, given the limitations of early mobile devices regarding screen size, processing power, and network bandwidth.

One of the main features of the Nokia WAP gateway was its ability to provide users with real-time access to information such as weather updates, news, and stock prices. By using a lightweight markup language called WML (Wireless Markup Language), the gateway allowed developers to create mobile-friendly websites that could be accessed via WAP-enabled devices. This marked a significant step toward the mobile internet we know today, creating a new realm of possibilities for developers and users alike.

Another critical aspect of Nokia's offering was the SMS (Short Message Service) gateway. The SMS gateway provided a robust platform for sending and receiving text messages across various mobile networks. It enabled seamless communication between devices, regardless of the underlying technology. This feature made SMS a popular choice for both personal communication and business applications, such as marketing campaigns and customer service notifications.

The Nokia SMS gateway utilized established protocols, such as SMPP (Short Message Peer-to-Peer), to ensure reliable message delivery and efficient interaction between SMS applications and mobile networks. Its characteristics included scalability, allowing service providers to handle large volumes of messages, and flexibility to integrate with existing applications and systems.

In summary, the Nokia WAP and SMS gateway played a vital role in the evolution of mobile communication. With features that enabled mobile internet access and streamlined messaging capabilities, these technologies laid the groundwork for the mobile-centric world we live in today. Their legacy continues to influence mobile application development and the broader telecommunications landscape. As the industry progresses, the innovations introduced by Nokia serve as a reminder of the foundational technologies that paved the way for modern mobile experiences.
