You just put a WAP file (ie, page.wml) in the server (eg, http://server/page.wml) then hit that URL from the phone. I get the feeling you're not really sure about how WAP works... It's really just the same as normal HTTP - the only difference is that the content is in a different mark-up language (eg, WML or HDML instead of HTML). The other big difference is that the phone doesn't connect directly to the server, rather, it sends a request to an HTTP gateway computer in the base station and it is the gateway that makes the request (via the internet) to the server. So the phone -> gateway link is over GPRS/UTMS/EDGE or whatever and the gateway -> server link is over Plain Old HTTP. If all you've got is an apache server on localhost then it obviosuly won't work - your server needs to be accessible on the public internet, with a registered domain name and public IP and everything.
There is a wml plugin for Firefox that can come in quite handy here. Use this plugin, put your content on your server, and make sure it first works in your browser, using the public name of your server. My job is to maintain a wap portal, and I use this all the time. Once you have everything working correctly from a webbrowser you can start testing from your phone. Provided your wap gateway is properly configured you can just telle your phone to go to the URL of your site. wml browser plugin here: http://wmlbrowser.mozdev.org/ Krist -- krist.vanbesien@xxxxxxxxx Bremgarten b.
