Hi,

I have written a set of classes for MMS (or picture) message parsing
and wanted to check my namespace usage before uploading to CPAN.
Currently the list of classes comprises:

MMS::Message - A class representing an MMS parsed from an email
MMS::Message::Parsed - A class represnting an MMS that has had provider
information/spam/advertising removed
MMS::Parser - The main parsing class
MMS::ProviderParser::$SOMEPROVIDER$ - A static class containing the
decoding rules for a particular network provider (e.g. Vodafone UK
encode their messages with HTML)

I have a draft tutorial explaining their use at
http://www.robl.co.uk/redirects/articles/mmsparser/

Secondly, a request for help:

The number of providerparsers (that contain the rules for decoding the
mms email messages) written is limited and I'd like to ask anybody who
has an MMS enabled phone and can spare five minutes to send an MMS
message with a picture and/or video to mms (at) robl (dot) co (dot) uk
so I can write more providerparsers. I'll also make the message part
of a publicly available test resource (with phone numbers removed) - so
please make the attachments viewer friendly !

Thanks,

Rob Lee

Further thought on the namespace has yielded these suggestions:

MMS::MailMessage::Parsed - A class representing an MMS parsed from an
email
MMS::MailMessage::ProviderParsed - A class represnting an MMS that has
had provider information/spam/advertising removed
MMS::MailParser - The main parsing class
MMS::ProviderMailParser::$SOMEPROVIDER$ - A static class containing the
decoding rules for a particular network provider (e.g. Vodafone UK
encode their messages with HTML)

This leaves space for the creation of an MMS::Message class
implementing the binary spec found at
http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/affiliates/LicenseAgreement.asp?DocName=/wap/wap-209-mmsencapsulation-20020105-a.pdf
and also for creation of an MMS Server class.

Anybody have any thoughts/objections ?

Thanks,

Rob

Much better. I also wanted to point to the binary (or XML based) MMS
specifications.

What is the exact value of $SOMEPROVIDER? Is the country coded in,
e.g. Vodafone_UK?

Examples would include :

UKVodafone
UKOrange
AUTelstra
USCingular

So Country Code + Provider

Can anybody see any issues with this scheme ?

Thanks,

Rob
