It converts WML pages into HTML which can be displayed using a JavaScript enabled web-browser.
Mobile
skin or customization
Different "skins" are available, e.g. for the Nokia 6210. The ccWAP Browser supports all the functionality of WML 1.3.
In doing its work the WAP-Browser connects to other servers to fetch WML documents and images, and it is able to use a proxy-server or a WAP-Gateway, if required.
The
ccWAP Browser is a component of the
server
Since the ccWAP Browser is a web-server it can be used to serve many users simultaneously in an intranet or the internet.
A proxy-server plays the role of an agent between the web-browser or another web-client and the internet.
With the help of a proxy-server users can use the internet in a controlled way, e.g. through a firewall. Furthermore, a proxy can be used as a filter (e.g. suppressing the referrer-header for security) or to cache documents.
It is possible to create "off-line" caches and to index them for later searching.
Because ccWAP Proxy-Server can also ac t as a web-server, it is possible to create virtual sites or to hide real sites.
