HTTP client on Symbian Series 60

[irina_white]

Hi!

I've written C++ RSocket-based application like HTTP client for Symbian Series 60/6.1 that connects to my Tomcat HTTP Server. This application works properly in EPOC emulator, but doesn't work in Nokia
7650 - it produces DNS and Connect errors. However, WAP access from the phone to the server works properly.

Can anybody explain me what's the problem?
Might be any definitions in the phone that forbid access to Internet?

Thanks in advance, Irina.

Do you have an internet access point (and not a WAP-only access point)? Ask your service provider for internet access point settings.

Hi, Lauri!

Thanks for your reply.

You are right - I've called to my provider and he explained me how to set internet access point.

Please contribute clarity.
programs written on Java works with WAP access point (in my network wap works through GPRS) and http post/get works perfectly.
can program on C++ use this access point? or i must use a real internet access point?

Irina!

I'd like to get an example program like your RSocket based http client for Series 60 platform. It's not problem for me if the application can appear on the emulator only. Can you send me your code example via e-mail or by other way? I'll be very thankful...

Hi tombrider, if you mean you want to make http connection and send http request to a server, you can modify socket example, by changing the RunL function on socketengine.cpp.
before read funtion calls, you can put writeL function on it, which write the http request, such as "GET [url] HTTP/1.1\r\n...(other HTTP header)..\r\n\r\n".
Before that you can change KDefaultServer to the IP address of your chosen server, and set the port to 8080.

Hopefully this can answer your question.
