HTTP smsc and POST-method

[Antti Karvonen]

Hi, I had a case where SMSs aggregator would have wanted to use HTTP  
interface, and the requests (MO/MT) would have been sent and received  
using HTTP POST. It seems that Kannel communicates only using GET  
method, at least when you have selected HTTP SMSC with system-type  
"generic".

Searching from the web I found a mention about a patch that would turn  
the SMSC HTTP generic module to POST, by changing HTTP_METHOD_GET to  
HTTP_METHOD_POST in gw/smsc/smsc_http.c (line 1480-1500 depending on  
the version), and then recompiling the package.

At least in version 1.4.3 it didn't seem to work, but luckily  
aggregator had also SMPP, so the problem could be resolved that way.

But I still wonder if there was some undocumented way to configure the  
HTTP interface of Kannel so that it would communicate via POST instead  
of GET.

Best regards,

Antti
