HTML Data Push

The data push enables you to send XHTML page content directly to a phone without the overhead of the

phone having to fetch the XHTML.

Use the following format when sending the HTML Data Push:

<Data priority=”X” >Y</Data>

When pushing data to a phone, make sure to send the request to:

http://<Phone IP>/push

The attributes listed in the following table are supported by HTML push requests.
