Nikos: use lynx for suspicious URLs ;-)

I think you (remon) make a major mistake in your thoughts how kannel works. When you set coding=0 kannels _output_ is 7bit. The charset of the _input_ is defined in the HTTP-header of the client triggering kannel. So you can use, let's say, UTF-16 in the URL and when you set coding=0 kannel makes it 7bit. But when you send something like "%E8%32%" and you client claims "this is UTF-8" and then kannel tries to translate it to 7bit you get ....strange.... results.

Hi,

I am very sceptic when using unknown URLs. Could you please describe in mail?

The below URL is an example of 7bit encoded text, when I send it using coding=0 I receive trash on my phone. I think I’m missing something here.

Hi,

Use &coding=0 in your URL.

Hi,

How can I send 7bit encoded text messages using Kannel’s http send interface?

Thanks,
