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.
