ccWAP Browser Features

 

The ccWAP Browser is a web-server, emulating a WAP-capable device. It converts WML documents to HTML and serves them to web-browsers. So it is possible for anyone to get a feeling of the WAP-World.

ccWAP Browser is mostly compatible to the proposed standard WML 1.3. The supported features include:

 

 

  Full support for the character encodings Unicode UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1, and the character encoding declarations of WML-decks are evaluated.

 

  Many other encodings, such as ISO-8859-*, Windows-125[0-8], KOI8-R, GB2312, BIG5, SHIFT_JIS, EUC-JP, KSC5601 and EUC-KR are supported also, but transcoding UTF-8 to them in URLs may fail.

It depends on the web-browser whether all characters of a document are actually displayed or not. 

 

All HTML pages delivered to the web-browser will be declared as UTF-8 and all relevant characters will be correctly escaped, that is, no character outside the US-ASCII range will ever be transmitted. This way, a non-UTF-8 capable browser will not display garbage, instead it will mark the corresponding characters, e.g. with a '?'.

 

  ccWAP Browser can handle WML in text and tokenized (binary) form.

 

  The Basic authentication scheme is available.

 

  The request methods GET and POST are completely supported.

 

  WML-timers are evaluated. The ontimer event also appears as a navigation element.
This feature can be disabled on startup of the ccWAP Browser.

 

  The events onenterforward and onenterbackward are evaluated.
These events are presented as navigation elements when they are disabled but present in a card.

 

  WBMP-Images (image/vnd .wap.wbmp) are converted on-the-fly to PNG (image/png) or to XBM (image/x-xbitmap), depending on the web-browser in use.

The feature to display images can be disabled when you start the ccWAP Browser. When disabled, all images will be replaced by the attached alternative text.

 

  Tables including alignment of columns, defined since WML 1.2.

 

  Preformatted text, defined since WML 1.2, and in addition do-elements within preformatted text as defined in WML 1.3.

 

  The attribute newcontext of a card is honored. By default it clears all variables and the history, as defined in the WML specification.

On startup of the ccWAP-Browser you can choose to remember the previous state. When navigating backward the variable state and the history will be restored. 

 

You can always reset the ccWAP Browser to its initial state by activating the button Home. The current state can be inspected by using the button Debug.

 

  All of the base functionality like text formatting, hyper links and anchors, tasks, paragraphs, input elements, selection lists, variables, do-elements, templates, and so on is supported.

 

  Additionally, ccWAP Browser offers some fixed buttons. Four of them are the navigation buttons Back, Forward, Reload and Home. Two other buttons, Source and Info, allows the user to view the source of the current deck or to get some information about it.

 

  The user can choose between different device types (Mobile Phones, PDAs, ...) which influence the size of the display area, the functionality of the browser and the number of available navigation buttons.

 

  The ccWAP Browser can fetch documents from servers using HTTP (http://), connection-less WSP over UDP (wsp://) or directly from the local file system (file://).

If neccessary, the browser is able to use a Proxy-Server or a WAP-Gateway, but proxy-authentication is not supported at this time. 

 

The protocol can be either HTTP (Proxy-Server) or connection-less WSP over UDP (WAP-Gateway).

 

  Since ccWAP Browser is a web-server, it can be accessed as a service by anyone, from anywhere, at any time, in an Intranet or over the Internet.
