I am trying to get Pocket Internet Explorer to launch a local program from
a file:/// URL. This used to work on XDA I, II and IIi but WM 5.0 seems to
have disabled that (probably rightly so!). Is there anything that I can do
to setup the device to allow this to work.
To date I have managed to get a link to launch a program from a webpage
held on the devices filesystem but if I try the same page when it is hosted
on a webserver the launch is silently ignored.
I suspect that this is something to do with security zones but I cannot find
any information as to how to configure these or even if it will work.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
I've been trying to access Yahoo Mobile (http://wap.oa.yahoo.com) via my k-Jam, and I always get a "Cannot Connect" popup from Pocket IE.
It doesn't matter whether I go through WiFi or GPRS -- the result is the same (cannot connect).
However, when I try using a different web browser (not pocket IE) it _works_ (and I can do regular http get's to the Yahoo Mobile site, etc.)
Secondly, if I try through a proxy server (from Pocket IE) it works.
Has anyone seen this (or know what might be happening)?
Not sure, as I haven't tried it, but instead of http:// try wap:// or wsp://
Tried wsp with no luck
Yep, I'd already tried wsp:// (wap:// doesn't work on k-Jam).
The problem gets stranger still: If I explicitly insert the IP address for wap.oa.yahoo.com in the URL it works (but this doesn't help much, because the home page contains links that use the explicit host name).
But, as I said, every other application on the k-Jam can properly resolve the hostname and connect. It's something "different" about the way Pocket IE does DNS resolution I'm guessing.
I'm not absolutly sure, but I think Yahoo Mobile is compressed, that's why PIE cannot render it.
Hi,
Im experiencing trouble accessing www.haltonvpn.co.uk through my Vodafone v1640.
This links to our CSG box to allow me access to a Citrix session through terminal services.
The link works fine through my XDA using GPRS, but i get a white screen on the universal.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance,
Ok,
After lengthy discussions with our account manager at Vodafone, it would seem that the standard IE browser that ship has some faults accessing Https:// sites (such as internet banking). Obviously this isnt acceptable for what we need!
I'll let this board know when the faults are resolved. Hopefully i may be able to post a flash which fixes these problems.
I have installed netfront browserwhich seems to aleviate some of the problems, but it is still definitely no where near useable!
I'll let you know how i get on.
why you do not install the ICA client for winCE?
- You have to download the newest version in english provided from Citrix
- don't forget the installation of your certificate on the pda
- configure your WinCE-ICA-client like the Win32-ICA
This is a well running solution for me and my colleagues! OK it's not really easy to configure the client, but your admins will assist you!

CU at Citrix Summit in Orlando!
I tried that today, but couldnt access the link to our external facing Citrix Secure Gateway because its a Https:// site!

hi Mike,
this should not be a problem! The CSG beyond the IIS is the point! And you're able to configure the ICA-client to use https! How i mentioned above, the configuring of the client isn't simple.
Perhaps some steps to configure the WinCE client!
1) don't forget the certifiate, suggest you've installed the client
2) create a new connection (the next points are reachable at creation or with button edit)
3) goto edit firewall settings, enter the FQN URL from the csg and the port, per default it's 443
4) goto edit options, session reliability MUST be turned OFF - this is really important because of the actual csg DON'T support this feature
5) goto server settings:
-select protocol SSL/TLS+HTTPS
-enter the INTERNAL FQN URL of a internal citrix server, it is really important to enter the complete FQN URL = DNS name
-now you should be able to refresh the servers-list also the PA-List, if you're not: enter the server-name or the PA-name manually
ready steady go!
hope you understand all the it-stuff, if not: write a new post

We have it working
It seems that you cannot even access the Page
This means you need to install the certificate
Login and you will see the Icons irrespective of whether you have the Client or not You will just be able to download the ICA files instead of launching it
The ICA Installation put some files in \windows\startup that needs to be removed
Further almost no Config should be done on the Client side
PIE and Opera 8.50 works
get used to squinting and working in akward places!!!! 8)
Regards Frikkie
I tried accessing the Page and can get to the login screen - I see that you are using a Public CA , so the certificate are already trusted. If the problem is further on , it might be that you are accessing the access center which uses activeX controls not supported by WinCE,
We got around that by makng a seperate Page for PDA that only uses CSG and not access center
Hope this helps - let us know exactly where you get stuck!
Regards
Frikkie
I cant even access the link www.haltonvpn.co.uk
Whenever i enter this link i just get a blank white screen on the V1640.
It works fine on my XDA but not on the V1640.
Vodafone told me that they couldnt help me and that QTEK couldnt help either as we havent bought 50 devices!
Any thoughts would be most useful
I would like to use mobile.southwest.com. However, it detects that I am visiting with a PPC and redirects me to the main site.
The problem with this is that I often want to check in, and if you do it from the main site but don't print a boarding pass, when you "reprint" a boarding pass at the airport, it reclassifies your boarding group. If you check in with the mobile phone, it remembers that you are boarding class A.
I tried installing opera mini (which, since I use a T-Mobile MDA, required installing a midlet manager) and then going to mobile.southwest.com, but southwest still redirected me to the regular site.
Has anyone figured out how to go to the southwest wap site?
there is a registry setting, so your browser will be detected as a desktop pc,
don't remember the setting you have to search like registry setting for IE6
I need the opposite
The problem is that mobile.southwest.com is detecting my ppc as a desktop pc, and thus assumes I have an attached printer. I want to tell it that I am not a desktop pc.
How to spoof a desktop pc is in the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other&version=70
but I haven't been able to find how to spoof, say, a treo (on which this mobile.southwest.com returns wap content).
Tried them all
I have now tried PIE, Opera mini, Minimo, and Netforce 3.3, and can't reach mobile.southwest.com on any of them -- I'm sent to the main site instead. So clearly it isn't a browser issue but some other settings. Does anyone know how to spoof a wap browser?
The solution to this problem turns out to be to use a WAP browser. The two main ones are Klondike ($23) and winwap ($50). Klondike's trial has a not-very-obnoxious trial reminder periodically but my understanding is that it works indefinitely, which is very nice of them.
I tried the Tweaks2k2 changes and nothing helped with getting mobile southwest to work.
I downloaded Netfront 3.3 and if you allow WAP on the program, the mobile southwest will load correctly.
I called southwest before doing all this and got nowhere.
If anyone has an idea of getting the default browser to work, I would like to know before, I pay for Netfront.

Skweezer.net
Have any of you tried skweezer.net? It's a site that condenses web sites for small screens. I went there on my LAPTOP, entered mobile.southwest.com into the search window, and brought up the mobile version of southwest.com. I surfed the mobile site for a while. I even looked at the mobile pdf schedules page. Southwest.com never detected that I was surfing from a laptop, not a mobile device since I loaded the page through skweezer. I think skweezer might fix both problems.
Works for me

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Cool! This works!
Nice Bass Aggie.
Skweezer compressed the web site but it still does not bring up the mobile website.
Any other ideas on how to get it to work on PIE.

CAn anyone please help with the following problem?
When I log onto my email provider's web access page using a WiFi connection from my Hermes everything goes OK until the point when I have to enter my username and password. At this point all keyboard input into the relevent boxes appears to be disabled, but I can still control the browser OK. Any ideas ??
chances are the site is encrypted or uses SSL and the version of pocket IE on your device does not support logging into that site. you can set the account up in messaging or you can try a different browser such as opera mobile.

Im not sure if this file works on WM6 but I had no problems when i used it on WM5.
Thanks Cliff I will try Opera - never did like IE anyway
i have tried different software on my streak. they all works fine in LAN. but seem none of them can work as normal ftp server on internet. i means i can tell my friends just type
ftp:user[email protected] to access my file on the phone from anywhere...
have u come across any good stuff working as a charm?
I haven't found a working FTP server, but Dropbox (free 2GB account) would work. There's a (free) dropbox client for computers and Android (and iPhone). What you do is create a directory then add your friends' email addresses to it as a share. From there, everybody can copy in and copy out files easily.
Running an FTP server constantly listening to port 21 might be a bit of a battery hog and unreliable as you move around in and out of signal.
but this require everyone installing client software which it not ideal...

There's an app called "Websharing" that when you launch it it tells you the "Http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxort number to access it from any web browser. You can either set a perm password, or it will self generate a new PW for each session.
Definitely not an "always on" solution, but quick way to share files and drop stuff on your phone from anywhere. I use it a lot to drop the odd .apk or other files onto my phone sdcard.
Haha looks like my "port" number colon became a smiley. What hath the emoticons wrought?
the features u mentioned only available from full version?
I need internet accessible.
Seem lite version only support LAN?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yeah, I have the full version. And yes, AT&T does seem to block incoming (at least on the ports I've tried) but that problem may exist for any phone on any cellular network. I don't think the telcos want a bunch of web servers running in everybody's pockets.
But on wifi it's great.
