QuestionHow do I switch between HTTP and Gateway modes?
Go to the menu EDIT -> OPTIONS and select the General Tab. In that tab you can select the connection mode.

QuestionWhat is the difference between HTTP and WAP Gateway modes?
HTTP is the same protocol that is used with your normal web browser to open pages on the internet. In Gateway mode all data passes through the gateway that in fact compresses the data so that it loads faster over a slow connection. If your own connection to the internet is as fast as the gateways connection to the internet, it is in fact faster to use HTTP mode since you then retrieve the data directly from the URL instead of having the data pass the gateway and be processed in the gateway.

Typically you would always want to use a WAP gateway over non-broadband connections (3G, UMTS, WCDMA or GPRS or other slow dial-up connection) to speed up page loading. In order to use your Telcom Operators services you will need to connect to their WAP gateway, using a connection from a mobile phone that has an account from the same Telecom Operator.

QuestionWhere do I get an address for a WAP Gateway?
If you are using a 3G or GPRS connection your operator will supply you with the WAP Gateway address. There are also a number of gateways on the internet that can be used. WinWAP has a few of these gateways predefined in the gateway list.

QuestionCan I save files with WinWAP ?
Yes. When unknown content is received, WinWAP will ask if you want to save it to disk.

QuestionWhy does WinWAP not work over our LAN (local area network) in HTTP mode?
Your administrator may have disabled direct HTTP connections to the internet. Usually in these situations a HTTP Proxy is available. Ask your administrator for the address and port to the HTTP proxy. The proxy can be defined in the EDIT -> OPTIONS, HTTP Tab.

QuestionHow do I erase any traces of my surfing?
Turn off all cache parameters and before you are trough clear all the saved history and bookmark lists.
