Here's an interesting request... web server on tilt

Anyone know of free solutions to allow local testing of web pages on a tilt?
In my free time I write HTML, and I'm curious about how I can include this in my Tilt so I don't have to be home or use an FTP server to test the pages. I can already do uploads VIA Total Commander, but I want to test before I upload!
Also, SQL Servers on mobile, I suppose that'd be a funny joke right?
(Yes, I tried searching, but 'web' 'server' and 'mobile' are too common! If I knew the name of some software I could do further research)

I call BS. "Web server windows mobile" comes up with several results.
And there is a mobile SQL server, called SQLCE by MicroSoft.

half-true, I did see 2 pieces of software in the search, but was also looking for feedback on them as well as comments from anyone that also tried the same thing...
I'm currently giving http://www.sphinx-soft.com/MWS/order.html Mobile Web Server a shot.

For the latest MS SQL Server Mobile Edition, have a look here:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/compact/default.mspx
Of course, don't expect the same performance you get with the standard one
The main issue would be finding a web server which can interface with sql server...

There's also PocketHPH which is a lightweight webserver with PHP scripting support!
http://mobileleap.net/hph/ - it's a (maybe crippled) free-for-dev/personal-use demo, with commercial licensing available, looks like.

There's also an FTP server for PPC
There's an FTP server called ShareitFTP for PPC. It's commercial software:

I've played with it before, it seems pretty decent.. does users and folders and such.

Accessing a local share via file manger..

I have a local file server accessble via wifi (or should be) its "\\server"
WHEN Wifi is on and connected and I put that in File Manager "\\server", it says cant connect, but if I put that in PIE it goes there.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get this to work? It used to work in WM6.0.

You should try Resco File Explorer; a LOT better for that purpose. I have been in a similar situation in mapping the drive and it works flawlessly. There's a 15 day trial to check it out; think you'll be pretty impressed.

Try "\\servername\sharename"...
try to access a particular share instead of getting the shares list by using the "\\servername" convention...
try something like "\\servername\sharename" and see what happens...
alternately, i highly recommend schap's rip of the HTC Network Plugin v1.0 Build 30468...it will make the steps of accessing commonly used local shares a whole lot easier by allowing you to map the drive into the "\Network" folder on your device...see 4th post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359458
enjoy!!!

I dont want to buy Resco, but it does work nicely.
\\servername\sharename fails as well and \\servername\sharename\ etc..
I will try the plugin and see. (Update) I instlled it and cant find it anywhere.. How do I "use" it?
Thanks!

Total Commander is free and does this well.
It also has a registry editor, text editor.
Did I mention it is free.

Another thing to check...
maybe your wifi connection is set up in "Internet" mode as opposed to "Work" mode...might explain why it works via PIE...
i think i remember experiencing total failures accessing local shares if my wifi connection was set up as "Internet"
on Settings->Connections->Wifi, edit the particular wifi connection you use and on the first page in the second combo box labeled "Connects to:", make sure the value is "Work"
give that a shot and let us know!!!

That was it!! Thanks! Odd setting really.

woohoo!!! i'm a noob WinMo user as of May 2008 with my Tytn2...coming from 5 years of using something from motorolla that was equivalent to a nokia 3310...totally basic PHONE in the truest sense...no color screen, no camera, big and clunky, pathetic interface...useful ONLY for voice and sms
but my point is that coming from decades of using Windows, somehow WinMo makes sense in a microsoft kind of way with all its occassionally cryptic features and inexplicable odd behaviors...i'm a geek and i'm lovin' it
before this thread is closed, the network plugin is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...i used to use resco for mapping drives but found its behavior to be erratic when my wifi signal was weak...sometimes taking ages to try to open a share just before the wifi icon would show that the connection had dropped
network plugin, IMHO, seems to work a bit better...YMMV

check in Settings->Connections->Network Plugin
while resco's network drive mapping configuration is accessible only from within resco (even though the shares resco mounts are accessible system-wide in any application whether resco is running or not), the network plugin gives a better "integrated" feeling with WinMo even though it is not much different from resco's capabilities

Got the HTC network plugin working. Now I have 2 ways to access the share.

Script for logging into websites?

Hi,
The wireless network we have at work requires us to first connect to the network (the easy part), then open a web browser (Opera) to login. In my Opera under Settings->Privacy->Password management, I've saved my username and password, however it doesn't auto-fill the form like it should on other websites. I've also had this problem on my laptop (auto-fill doesn't work), so was wondering if there's a script or software or something for me to automatically login instead of having to type in my username and password every time?
Looking at the login website, it says it's a Cisco Wireless Network (presumably that's the router used).
Thanks

Did you try for example a MortScript-based solution? (I don't think a GET-based solution would work, instead of the default POST-based one. You can, however, give it a try too, if adding the full URL, along with your l/p, as a bookmark, isn't a problem.)

The POST-based is probably the most simple solution actually - going to give that a try now on my laptop. As far as MortScript goes, I think it'll probably work, but I do need to get around to learning it first.
Quick question without going into the MortScript documentation - how would I go about either calling Opera, or ideally, send a http command through a script? I'm an engineer and part of my job IS programming, but don't program for any web-based stuff so a bit lost there...
Edit: nevermind, reading the MortScript manual now, seems fairly easy to follow, will try to figure it out myself instead of wasting people's time here
Oh, just tried the POST idea on my laptop, works great! Thanks! Now time to look at MortScript me thinks

Opera on AT&T Fuze

Hi All,
I was told by an AT&T guy that you could change the opera config file to make opera on the Fuze act a fully functional browser. The problem I am having is the opera will take to me to the mobile version of websites and I don't want that. I have tried changing the user agent to 2 and 3, but that didn't correct the problem. Does anyone know what has to be changed to make this work?
thanks
billf.

A couple of other things to do in the opera:config page. First, you want to change the "Custom User-Agent" in "user prefs" to "Mozilla/4.0(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 6.0;en)" (although I've also heard that just deleting that string works, too, but I haven't tried it).
The other thing is to delete the HTTP and HTTPS server names in the "Proxy" section.
These changes will get you to the normal version of most sites (although there are some sites that still redirect to wap/mobile versions -- I don't use any of these on a regular basis, but nba.com is one such).

You can upgrade to build 2745
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442252&highlight=opera+2745&page=15
I followed all of the tips and some of the sites still wouldn't go, no matter what changes I made. I followed owziee's directions in the link above exactly and upgraded to the 2745 build that herg posted in that same thread. Works perfectly and I can now go to desktop sites. You do have to make the additional changes, can't just run the cab or it doesn't fit vga and zoom properly, but with my low to intermediate skills it wasn't a problem to do.

I can't stand this Opera Mobile. Web pages are constantly changing size on my, and I can't zoom in or out. Is there any way to change the default browser to IE? IE works much better for me.

i didnt like opera at first but its actually way better then PIE. go to the opera settings and there is a button that says "mobile view" uncheck it and all websites are not in mobile view.
also. im sure u know. but for zooming u can run your finger in a circle clockwise or counterclockwise on the button to make it zoom in or out...or u can double tap the touch screen for it to zoom in.

all you gotta do is add to the end of your web address is "index.html". ex. espn.com/index.html
Works perfectly

You have to disable your proxy for your data connection or it will go to the mobile version as well. That is in connection settings. Uncheck the box that says this connection uses a proxy. I was getting all mobile sites until I did that.

waste of time
screw all that programming - just install skyfire and set it as your default browser through itself and if that doesnt work, install total commander and change the internet file - google it and you'll find simple instructions

Hi,
Here's the link to the Opera Mobile thread; have a look at the last 25 or so posts in the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486502
In a nutshell, stock ROM's receive many post-configuration changes via .PROVXML; this means that the experience of applications are changed by the carrier to suit their requirements.
There are a few adjustments that are required in order to achive the experience you're after ... the link will help you achieve your desired configuration and saves me repeating all the same info here.

[Q] Activate javascript in IE10 mobile?

Nokia Lumia 920
I am having a problem with a mobile version of one website on my Windows Phone: The home page loads and displays correctly, but when you touch a link, a "server or DNS cannot be found" - error is shown. However, after hitting "refresh", the page addressed by the link is displayed fine. This is very annoying, so I reported that behavior to the web master of the site.
The suggested solutions that came in response were two:
- allow cookies all the time (I changed that setting, but it did not fix the issue)
- make sure that java scripting is enabled in the Internet Explorer
While in the regular version of IE you can adjust this setting easily through the respective menu, I couldn't find any option in the Windows Phone system or in the options of IE mobile to adjust java scripting.
Questions:
1. Can these settings be changed at all?
2. What are the java script settings in IE mobile by default?
Many thanks
Joerg

First of all, "JavaScript" - one word - is the language commonly used in websites. Java (which is not scripted, although in old versions it was interpreted much the way scripts are) is occasionally also used on the web, but very rarely.
Windows Phone supports JavaScript, and this support cannot be turned off in the browser to the best of my knowledge. Apps can turn it off within their internal WebView controls, but in IE it is always on.
Possibly a silly suggestion, but have you tried rebooting the phone? After that, my next suggestion would be trying the mobile site in IE10 on the desktop, probably using the Developer Tools to spoof the WP8 IE10 user agent string.

Yes, I tried rebooting - to no avail. Opening the site in IE10 on the desktop does not work, because it automatically detects the browser and switches to the regular (instead of the mobile) site.
Meanwhile, I have encountered the same issue with more mobile sites: clicking on links causes an error. This error does not occurr when you open the site e.g. in Safari on an Ipad.

I take it you're not overly familiar with how web browsers (and servers) work. I can try figuring out what the problem is if you let us know what the problematic site is, though.

Hello guys ... I dont know if this is the place to post my problem but its the only one that is close to what I have as an issue... So .. I have a problem with some active buttons in some sites, when I log in the site there are little active buttons on the top of the page ( account, community, forum, etc. ) so when I try to click on those buttons the phone ( lumia 920 ) just selects the text and gives me the option to copy it. I have few android devices and there is no such issue with them, I dont know if this is connected with the java script or flash or what ever ... I just need some help if there is a fix for this. THX in advance and have a happy new year :good::good::good:

If possible, tap off the text but still on the button (zoom in if you need to). You could also try tapping more quickly, or alternatively tap-and-hold and see if it offers you the context menu for links.
