Apache Modules

Most Apache modules have been built and are included in the sis-file. However, not all are loaded by default. You can check in c:/data/apache/conf/httpd.conf, which modules are included and loaded. Note that although a module has been built it has not necessarily been tested.

In principle you can configure as described in http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/ but as we have not tested everything, certain configurations may not work.

Dav works, so you can mount the file system of your phone to your laptop using your favourite webdav client. However there are some problems so you probably do not want to edit files directly but use dav for uploading and downloading files.

Concept Demos

In addition to the built in Apache modules, a number concept demos have been included. These are, as the heading says, concept demos and many are not really meant to be useable for real.

Interactive, Context and Location Dependent Content

These demonstrate that a website on a mobile phone is not just like any other website that simply happens to be on a mobile phone, but that it enables functionality that in the context of regular stationary websites is largely meaningless.

  • Remote interactive picture taking.
  • Use the phone as a webcam.
  • Find other mobile web sites in the proximity.
  • Find out the location of a mobile website (cellid).

New Means for Communicating

These demonstrate that general HTTP access to a mobile phone allows anybody to create and provide functionality that earlier typically required standardization and/or operator involvement.

  • Send instant message.
  • Leave message in the inbox.
  • Leave a note on a mobile weblog.

Access to Core Data

These demonstrate that once HTTP access is available, a web UI might become just as important as the phone's native UI.

  • Access favourites, contacts, calendar, logs and messages.
  • Download images from the phone's memory.
