Hello All,
I am new to WAP programming. Please excuse me if I ask some "non-professional" questions.
I have this basic basic hello wml page on my server (IIS 5 on Windows 2000 with all the MIME content enabled and ASP ISAPI configured).
Source code for the wml is as follow:
**************** Source Code Starts *************
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">
<wml>
<card id="card1" title="WML Tutorial">
<p>Hello World</p>
</card>
<card id="card2" title="WML Tutorial">
<p>Welcome to the world of WML</p>
</card>
</wml>
**************** Source Code Ends *************
This page is reside in
http://www.maplelink.com/HelloWorld.wml
This page works in all of my emulators (namely Nokia Mobile Browser, Sony Ericsson T610 Emulator, and the gelon.net).
However, when i switch to my actual T616 (and tried T610), i only see a blank page. Nothing else gets to display. But I'm 100% positive that my phone call access to other WAP pages. Could someone else use their T616/T610 phone and try to access this page?
I'm not sure what is wrong with it. Would it be possible that my IIS is not setup correctly?
Thank you very much for your help and I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards,
Anson

I just clicked on the link on my p800, and it loaded fine. Page title: WML TUTORIALS. Text on page:Hello World. The source code you posted looks correct, unless I missed something.

Hello AYA,
Yes, that what I intended to show.
So do you know if it's really the problem of my phone (T616)?
Anybody?

@Graphite2003: Cant be certain for sure. Wish someone else with a t610/637 would try loading the page to see. Then we can begin to narrow down our options.
Anyone with a t610, kindly help out!

Hello World
Welcome to the world of WML
<--feedback end-->
Looks good so far. The problem may be your phone. I've got someone with a t610 who says he'll give it a run. Expect the result soonest.

It did not work. It gave an error and said there was something with the link. I typed with Http:// and without it.

Not good. Looks like T610 generally won't load your page. Why, I dunno? Any ideas?

Wrong mime-type, I got text/html, but I want text/vnd.wap.wml.
This error occurs when you request a page that is not a WAP page, or when the webserver isn't set up correctly for hosting WAP sites
|
|
That's the reason. You have to add a mime type for the "wml" files.
AddType text/vnd.wap.wml wml

OK i just tried to upload your HelloWorld.wml to home.ro'server and it works. It's configured for wml pages, it seems.
http://xpc.go.ro/hello.wml
PS: the code is intact, wasn't changed, just uploaded to my host.

Helly AYA, wapchimp and DSF,
Thank you very much for all your effort helping me narrowing down the problem. Thank you.
And AYA, please help me to thank all the people in your regional forum who helped in the testing. I appreciate that.
And DSF, thank you for pointing out the MIME setting. I have already set the MIME setting in my IIS5 server. Just that I don't know what it's not in effect. I will reboot the server and try again. Will get back to you.
Best Regards,
Anson |

Still no luck after rebooting.
I have followed this article to enable the MIME.

Any idea?

Tough, man. I've run out of ideas. My P800 wouldn't load my network provider's WAP homepage too for months. I tried again just now and - yes, it loaded. I didn't modify anything here, & I am not sure what they did at that end to remedy the situation.

@Graphite: That suggests that the problem resides in your server config. You'll need to look at it again. What to look for now is the issue, it seems.
