Dear fellow Zopers, The Mobile Data market is about to explode, capitalizing on the huge growth that mobile phone operators have enjoyed over the past few years. In order to make a play in this market you need to have both internet and wireless access to the content, i.e. internet browser and wap browser access. There is already an OpenSource WAP gateway, but very few HTTP and WML servers. Zope would be ideal for this task as it could serve up the content in different forms depending on the type of browser or access device used. I would like to know if anyone has or is working on a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) interface for Zope? Today most WAP browsers use WML, but it looks like this may move toward XML soon. If you want to get Zope into the Telco space big time this would be a good way to start.

If you search the archives for this mailing list you will find that WAP has been discussed a few times. For an example of a Zope site serving WML pages you can try pointing your phone at http://www.rcp.co.uk:9080/wap or try your web browser at http://www.rcp.co.uk/distributed for a description of our wap site. -- Duncan Booth duncan@dales.rmplc.co.uk int month(char *p){return(124864/((p[0]+p[1]-p[2]&0x1f)+1)%12)["\5\x8\3" "\6\7\xb\1\x9\xa\2\0\4"];} // Who said my code was obscure? http://dales.rmplc.co.uk/Duncan
Thanks Duncan, I checked these out. Like the idea and your demo seems to work well. Where can one find more information on "how-to"... or an example at least with source code etc. Is there an SIB for WAP or a related topic that covers WAP (the XML folks perhaps)? Regards Brendon Duncan Booth wrote:
