How to Create an XML Application

Overview

This Appendix describes how to create an XML application for your IP phones.
Sections in this appendix include:
•XML format
•Creating XML Objects
•Creating Custom Softkeys
•HTTP Post
•XML Schema File

XML format

The text in the Aastra XML objects must be compliant with XML
recommendations and special characters must be escape encoded. The default
character set for the XML API is ISO-8859-1.

Support of Virtual Web Servers

The IP phones support the configuration of a web sever to host multiple websites
with different content. With this feature, the webserver looks at the Host header in
the incoming HTTP request sent by the browser to determine which website the
phone is trying to access.
