Hi,

I took a look on the file attached and Ethereal found a send and a conf
message in that.
The difference between you sent and I try to send is that yours contain smil
parts which mine do not, and I try to send messages with complete HTTP
headers as the server requires.
My real pain is that I do not have any decent and complete specification and
tutorial about the MMS protocol.
Could someone please be so nice to give me one or a link to?

To answer the question about my location, currently I stay in Hungary after
spending years in Germany, where I will return sooner or later.

Have a nice day,
Sandor

Hi,

we have quite a lot of expierence using ethereal for MMS decoding (have a
look at https://mms-demo.p3-solutions.de (p3sol/mmsdemo)).

For this we had to build our own ethereal disabling all protocols not wanted
by us. Enclosed you find a original trace going via Vodafone D2. Can you
decode this one correctly?

BTW: Where are you located ?

BR,

Marc
