Talk:Wireless Application Protocol
|
|
I think the following is POV, I've copied it across from the GSM article and then decided to put it in the talk here:
Application developers creating a new mobile IP based protocol can
- do the same (not recommended), or
- implement a TCP proxy relay service for the wireless link, or
- utilise the experimental TCP extensions such as Selective ACK that allow TCP to operate better in the presence of non-congestion packet loss, or
- use a new protocol such as SCTP.
somehow I, personally, agree with some of the ideas behind this, but it should be attributed somewhere and balanced by an explanation of why the design choices were made. Historical information about the availability of protocol numbers may be important here.
I suspect that many people, like me, come to this page hoping for help with WAP access to Wikipedia. A while ago I managed to create a WML page that gives a crude interface to Wikipedia, via Google's WML proxy. More details are available on my user page. Could something like this be added to the article, or somewhere else in Wikipedia? – Lee J Haywood 19:49, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
See top of Request for Comments for a similar case. Yaron 21:24, Jul 18, 2004 (UTC)
- Excellent idea, but I think it would be better to put it in a separate page and then simply create a link to it at the top of the WAP article something like the following (the page name is just from my head, there should be some proper convention for it however. I just don't know what it is).
- This is an article about the Wireless Application Protocol. For details of how to access Wikipedia see Wikepedia Access via WAP.

Please fix troll in links...
There is a trolling link in the External links section (Wap 1 and 2 compared) The admins should fix this.
WAP 2.0
Isn't WAP 2.0 released and isn't it follows XHTML-MP [1] (http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/affiliates/wap/wap-277-xhtmlmp-20011029-a.pdf)?
yes, wap 2.0 needs to be more clearly defined. - exactly how it differs from xhtml
