Is there a way to create a websession and send it over air. I know it needs to be sent through a browser message so how do i create it and make it happen?

I've been working on this for a while now. I can't figure a way to decode the browser message being sent. Any ideas?

This is what I've thought so far, but haven't made it work:

Read message on phone with some kind of Java app? Haven't found one...
Have message redirected to an email so I can open it with a hex editor and peek around. Can't get it to do that.
Google for someone who knows how they're made. No luck.

ahh I ran into this awhile back when I was trying to txt a vcard to my v3. maybe I can find that stuff somewhere again. That would be a great idea. I know that there are a few apps for the computer that will send them, i haven't tried any of them though. Wouldn't it be nice to have a OTA configurator here at mmm?



EDIT:
This software does it..so it says.. I'll try it.

If someone can figure out what the format of those browser messages is, I can handle the backend coding for making an app which will send them out to phones from MMM's server. Go Go Modders.

If i had an "in" with a cellular company here, what info do i need to get to figure it out? Do you think its a specific program they use?

No, it is not a program. Well, I mean, I'm sure they use a Java app as I checked the source code of some of the sites that send the updates.

I am 99% sure it is just a txt file with some kind of special headr or subject which alerts the phone it should be read as a "browser update" and then also contains the websessions info. I just need to know what the format is for the message, and in what order the websessions info is supposed to be. Then I can code a backend system to custom send out whatever specs I choose....

If i had the txt file sent to an email address could you use that?

anytime, i've been trying to do this myself in the past just for fun. It would be cool to be able to just send people their websessions and mms settings.

Nice. Gotta set up a sms sending script on the server, then work on some sort of little Java app or such that will send a specific message depeding on what options checked {eg, carrier, phone number, country, etc...**

Sounds like you guys are making some progress. Will you post it or what?

If I get it working I will. Right now I have a working script which sends the messages, etc, but the phone is still receiving them as text messages, and for some reason not recognizing them as browser updates. :/ Still trying to figure out whats going on, I've stripped all the email headers but the carrier is adding them back in, just the from and to field though. Again, just gotta tweak a little more and figure out whats different.

Can someone still get me a browser update emailed to me?
