[users@httpd] WAP Gateway Requests - returning index.wml

[po...@adindex.co.uk]

Hi

How might Apache HTTP Server be setup to detect WAP gateway requests
and return index.wml rather than index.htm ?

Here is an extract from a wap gateway request header:

-------------------------------------------------
Accept:application/vnd.wap.wmlc,application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc,
image/vnd.wap.wbmp,application/vnd.wap.wtls-ca-certificate,
text/plain,text/vnd.wap.wmlscript,text/html,text/vnd.wap.wml
Accept-Language:en
Accept-Charset:ISO-8859-1,UTF-8;Q=0.8,ISO-10646-UCS-2;Q=0.6
User-Agent:Nokia7110/1.0 (04.78)
Via:Nokia WAP Server 1.0.2
--------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your consideration.

This could be done it two basic ways: with mod_negotation based content
negotiation, or manually negotiating using mod_rewrite.

I'll try to give very quick examples.

1. mod_negotiation with multiviews:

<Directory /path/to/files>
AddType application/vnd.wap.whatever .wap
Options +Multiviews
DirectoryIndex index
</Directory>

Then name your files /path/to/files/index.wap and
/path/to/files/index.html and request them as http://example.com/files/

Apache should look at the Accept header and use that to pick the correct
type.

2. mod_rewrite

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} application/vnd\.wap
RewriteRule ^/files/index /path/to/files/index.wap [L]

RewriteRule ^/files/index /path/to/files/index.html

Neither of these solutions were tested, but they should give you a general
idea.

Joshua.
