Help test my Nokia mobile web server

Posted by Alex on Jul 3, 2007 • (Comments)

Now this is cool. Quite what I’m going to do with it yet is unknown, but it’s neat all the same.

Nokia has released a software download that turns your mobile into a web server. The obvious question is ‘why?” and the easiest and glibbest answer is ‘because it can”. But there’s more to this than at first meets the eye.

According to Nokia, the ‘Mobile Web Server is a phone application to which you can connect over the Internet with your web browser. This allows you to easily manage and use phone functions with a PC, no external software needed.”

I’ve installed it on my E61, which you can access at http://kinchyuk.mymobilesite.net – login is guest and password is, rather surprisingly, password. Give it a go – you can leave me a message on my guest book, send me an IM or drop me a text.

Update: Apparently T-Mobile can’t run a data network round these parts without breaking it every five minutes – so the server managed to disconnect and couldn’t get back on. Should be ok now, fingers crossed..

Where can I get this from? It looks very handy

Daniel

I found my server a touch shaky when I was running it simultaneously with Agile Messenger and browsing the internet. So it could just be the devices not liking too much stuff being rammed through their internet pipes.

This is the first time I've regretted not buying a HSDPA handset. My little E65's X-series powered guestbook has already been hammered by the guys at the cybershack.com forums!

I love it!

Hi Daniel, yep got your text, thanks :) Will visit your server in a sec.

Jim, it's gone into suspended again. Seems to coincide with receiving a phone call. I understand that the packet data connection suspends when using the phone, but can't quite work out why it's not starting back up again.

Then again, it could be that I've just got too much running on here. Good mobile messaging, Gmail, web browser, and web server - all on an E61. Poor little thing ;)

Oh this is cool. Just sent you a text, mate. I'm going to use this so my family can get a hold of me for nothing as long as I have my X Series data plan.

Alex

Just given it another kick, as apparently it'd gone into suspended mode. Which is nice. Hopefully it won't rain overnight and break T-Mobile's network again.
