Creating WAP Documents |
WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is a protocol that allows wireless devices access to information and services over the Internet. WAP makes it possible to deliver Web content through a WAP gateway server directly to a wireless Web-enabled device. By using already existing Internet technology such as XML and IP, WAP allows access to Internet content and services to wireless clients. With WAP, clients can obtain Internet content and services through devices such as, mobile phones, PDAs, pagers, two-way radios, smart phones, communicators, and terminals. The protocol is developed by WAP Forum, an organization of some of the most powerful Internet and telecom companies. Configuration It is quite easy to enable a Virtual Server web server to serve WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) documents. The gateway is usually on the cellular network, so all that your web server needs are the correct MIME Types.
