in WAP 2 you actually act as a HTTP proxy, along with some tuning for WTCP, but
that's fairly theoretical and almost never used.

There is no "HTTP proxy" support in the normal Kannel to support "native" HTTP
calls from devices. People used either Apache or squid for this "part" of the
WAP 2 stacking.

As mentioned, the Kannel CG (carrier-grade) version includes a specially patched
squid, that is glued to the WAP 1 and RADIUS acct proxy layer to have a "unique"
stack for WAP 1 and 2, with full RADIUS (i.e. MSISDN) provisioning support.

in WAP 1 they can be residing on the gateway, in WAP 2 the proxy will most
likely hand them over to the client. Gateway residing of cookies is a
architectural problem, since you get into conflicts if the DHCP'ed client IPs
are shared, and hence you "serve" as gateway a returning client, of which you
can't be sure that it is really the one you served before. Therefore gateway
stored cookies is mostly not endorsed.
