Question

What 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.

Question	Where 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.

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

Question	Why 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.

Question	How 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.

Question

Why do HTML pages look different then on Internet Explorer or Firefox?

WinWAP transcodes HTML pages internally and displays the content as good as possible. However, not all HTML content will show correctly and in some cases nothing can be shown at all. The Transcoding engine provides reduced HTML support but does not act as a full HTML browser. Note the yellow triangle in the lower right corner that indicates that a HTML page has been opened and transcoded. By clicking on the triangle you get more information about the Transcoding.

Question	I see the following error message: The ordinal 3724 could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBEAY32.dll, what should I do?
	You should download and install the newest version of OpenSSL from www.openssl.org
