hi guys! i'm planning to set up a wap site for wallpapers, can you guys help me out? i have a FEW questions 😊
1. can i use ordinary webservers? or does it have a be a WAP server specifically?
2. does wap site start with INDEX.WML just like website automatically look for index.html or index.htm?
3. can wap site contain JPEG or GIF files, or does it have to be WBMP files all the time?
thats all for now i still have a FEW questions, but i'll ask them next time
TIA! 😊
You need to configure your web server for at least the following content type mappings:
.wml -> text/vnd.wap.wml
.wbmp -> image/vnd.wap.wbmp
.wmls -> text/vnd.wap.wmlscript
.wmlc -> application/vnd.wap.wmlc
.wmlsc -> application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc
How you do that depends on your web server (and whether you have admin rights or have to ask somebody else to do it).
And for all web servers I know, you can specify different possible default documents. The web server typically go through its list of such & send the first one it finds, if the browser/user agent didn't specify one (= the URL ends with a directory name & not a file/document name).
As long as you have an index.wml file in the directory your wap browser points to it'll show up on the phone. You have to use wbmp for pictrures.
