Symbian downloads on a WAP site... can someone help? — S60 (Series 60)

Hello...

I'm in the middle of creating a WAP site that would let people download small .SIS files onto their Symbian Series 60.

It works fine if I use a third party browser like Netfront or Opera, but when I use the default Services browser I get the error message "Unsupported content type".

I know this is possible to do correctly because another WAP site I visited on the Services browser has a SIS file available for download ( it's http://wap.tibiame.com/ if anyone's interested), and they don't seem to be using anything special in their WML code except a link to their .SIS file.

How can I get my SIS download link to work just like the one on Tibia's? I've even tried making a test page on my WAP site which is a clone of Tibia's, but that doesn't work.

Perhaps there's something about the settings on my server that has to be altered?

Thanks for any help on this,

krisse

At the web/WAP server for the .sis file type the MIME type (for the HTTP headers) needs to be set to "application/vnd.symbian.install". How it is done is web/WAP server specific, so consult your server's configuration/setup documentation.

Thanks, that worked wonderfully!

Thank you!
