Serving 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 Group\Apache2\conf\mime.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.

 

What is WAP?

WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol. You would use WAP to serve information from your website to wireless devices such as mobile phones, pagers and communicators.
