Question: I have installed a MIDlet on the Nokia 7650. The MIDlet fails when it attempts to open a HttpConnection to a remote server?
Why is this?
Answer: There are a number of issues relating to HttpConnection on early versions of the Nokia 7650 firmware (v3.12 and v3.16) causing
HTTPConnections to hang. Listed below are known issues and suggestions for work-arounds where possible.
- For some non English localisations the "HTTP 1.1" header (German, Spanish, Finish) gets transmitted as "HTTP 1,1". A workaround
is to use an English localisation. Navigate to Tools | Settings | Phone | General | Phone language | English.
- A "Post" request gets transmitted as a "Get" request (firmware version 3.12).
- It is advisable to launch the HttpConnection in a separate "non-blocking" thread.
These limitations have been fixed as of firmware version 4.39.
A more general point is to make sure you have configured an Internet (ie TCP/IP) access point on the phone and your MIDlet
uses this for networking. Navigate to Tools | Settings | Connection | Access Points and create a new Internet access point
(your network operator can advise of the correct settings). Now go to Tools | Apps and scroll through the list of installed
MIDlets until the required one is highlighted. Now select Options | Settings | Settings | Access point and select an Internet
access point as the default access point for that MIDlet.
