tried it exactly like the way you described on my nokia 5700.still does not work. yapn does not start. where did i go wrong ? :suicide:
Hi,
I was able to get the proxy working after looking at the python script.
First you need to have installed Python for S60 (PyS60), the Python Script Shell and appswitch103.
Then install YaPN.
Then create a folder on your E: drive (memory card) named 'Python'.
Create a text file name 'yapn.conf' with the following entries:
wap-proxy: <proxy server name>
wap-proxy-port: <port name>
mms-proxy: <proxy server name>
mms-proxy-port: <port name>
mms-server: <mms server name>
User-Agent: <user agent string>
x-wap-profile: <wap profile uri>
The 'wap-proxy' is your carriers proxy server from your access point (only if you need/want to use it)
The 'wap-proxy-port' is the port of your carriers proxy server.
The 'mms-proxy' is your carriers mms proxy server from your access point (only if you need/want to use it)
The 'mms-proxy-port' is the port of your carriers mms proxy server.
The 'mms-server' is your carriers MMS server if used (maybe the MMS access point homepage?)
The 'User-Agent' is the User Agent string you want your browser to be identified with.
The 'x-wap-profile' is the xml URL for your device information file. This document contains information on the type and capabilities of your device. Only necessary if you want web sites you visit to use it.
If you do use this setting be sure it matches the device in your 'User-Agent' setting.
Example: [Only registered and activated users can see links]
Be sure to have a space after the ':' of each parameter. The python script splits the settings name and values with ': '.
I believe you may need to save the yapn.conf file as a unicode document. I edited the file with windows notepad and received the 'yapn.conf doesn't exist' message. When I looked the file on my phone with x-plore it contained extra line feeds. I removed the extra line feeds with x-plore and YaPN was able to load.
Below are my yapn.conf entries:
wap-proxy: wireless.cingular.com
wap-proxy-port: 80
mms-proxy: <proxy server name>
mms-proxy-port: <port name>
mms-server: <mms server name>
User-Agent: SAMSUNG-SGH-I617/1.0 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 6.12) UP.Link/6.3.0.0.0
x-wap-profile: [Only registered and activated users can see links]
I didn't use the mms settings.
Copy the yapn.conf file to your e:\Python folder.
Before running YaPN you need to setup a new Access Point which will use the YaPN proxy.
Make a copy of you current Access Point and name it something else. I named mine YaPN but it can be anything.
Go in to the advanced settings of your new Access Point and set the proxy server to 127.0.0.1 and the proxy port to 1234.
These are the values hardcoded in the python script.
Once the Access Point is setup you can run YaPN. If everything was setup correctly YaPN will start and you can check your User Agent and wap profile settings under options/settings.
Under options is also 'Start Proxy' which will start the proxy server. When it starts it will ask which Access Point to use and you want to choose your new Access Point.
Now you can use your apps with the new Access Point and they will use the new User Agent. Just make sure you don't have any other Access Points in use first or it may not use your new one.
Uses:
Making your phone look like another to websites:
I have AT&T/Cingular and they use the User Agent string to determine if the device can have access to their videos online.
I have a new N95-3 (which they do not sell) but when I try to access their videos it blocks me saying the videos are only for 3G phones even though the N95-3 is a 3G phone.
With the proxy I can change the User Agent to a 3G phone they do sell (the Samsung i617 BlackJack II User Agent in my yapn.conf) and now I can access their videos.
Hope this helps any one having trouble with this program.
