Http SMS Gateway - Version 1.0 HOW DOES IT WORK? HTTP - SMS runs as a service on the Windows NT,2000,XP server. It communicates with the phone attached to this server with a phone-to-PC data cable. It collects the short text messages that arrive to the phone and passess them to your web application. Your web application can send out text messages by passing them to the HTTP-SMS gateway. RECEIVING SMS MESSAGES AND SENDING A REPLY: Web applications communicate with the user with HTML forms. When a user wants to send information to the server, he fills out a form. The HTTP-SMS gateway does the same. It fills out a form automatically every time an SMS message is received. The receiving web application can return a response SMS message after processing the received data. SENDING AN SMS MESSAGE: The HTTP - SMS Gateway can be used to send out SMS messages from any application. In order to send a message, the application must perform an HTTP request. The built in webserver of the HTTP - SMS Gateway receives the request and adds the posted SMS message to the outgoing message queue. After some time the message will be sent. (The status of the outgoing message can be queried by subsequent HTTP requests) The OZEKI HTTP-SMS Gateway is implemented as a service for Windows NT/2000/XP and it runs as an application on Windows 98/Me.
