Hi,
It seems that people like contests.
Here it goes.
I need some sourcecode, documentation, anything for this :
I connect with my cellphone to my WAP apn through GPRS.
I need a simple code to connect to a wapsite and retrieve the index.wml.
I want to make something similar to WinWap and I need a starting point.
I am working on my laptop, so C++ sourcecode would be fine.
The prize:
A cd with our latest game Digital Hazard (http://www.exosyphen.ro) - shipped to you.
Thank you.

We need more information before we can comment on this.
It looks like you are after a WAP browser? Is that right?
Are you after code to run on a PC or on the phone?
I presume that you mean you want to retrieve the "index page" from a site - it is not always index.wml.

OK - what language/IDE would you prefer.
If you are using MS VisualC - it is easy - just use one of the HTML components. Just because it is wml over WAP the protocol to download a page is the same.
If you have jabber - PM me for my name and I can chat with you

Hi,
I want to use sockets in C/C++ to connect to a wap server and retrieve a wml file.
Simple as that .. I don;t need to display/render the page.
I just want to simply display the wml sourceode with a simple printf()
Thank you.

Just enter the url into a non wml browser and it will download the page to your hd.

Rather that do it yourself - why not use an existing library.
I recommend LIBwww http://www.w3.org/Library/
It can be tricky to get all the bits right by yourself

Ok,
I open a socket on port 80 to google.com
I send a header : GET / HTTP 1.1
blah bla blah
and I get back the index source.
Now I want the same with WAP.
I got it done for html in a few lines .. but I don;t know how to do it for wml.

It is just the same for wap as for http.
The basic protocol is unchanged - only the contact is.
I use the same server (apache) to serve up html and wml - the server does not care/need to know. The protocol at this level is tha same.
The only issue might be the WAP gateway if there is one - just bypass it and go straight for the server
