14 Aug 10 Can I serve WAP Files?
Yes, Gossimer does indeed allow you to serve WAP files.
To enable the Web Server to serve WAP documents, you need to set the following MIME types on the web server:
- text/vnd.wap.wml for .wml files (WML source files)
- application/vnd.wap.wmlc for .wmlc files (WML compiled files)
- text/vnd.wap.wmlscript for .wmls files (WMLScript source files)
- application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc for .wmlsc files (WMLScript compiled files)
- image/vnd.wap.wbmp for .wbmp files (wireless bitmaps)
If you use the Apache Web server add the following lines in the ..Apache GroupApache2confmime.types file:
- text/vnd.wap.wml wml
- application/vnd.wap.wmlc wmlc
- text/vnd.wap.wmlscript wmls
- application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc wmlsc
- image/vnd.wap.wbmp wbmp
Our servers are already preconfigured to serve files.
