Clarification: Http connection suffix defaults to MDS/BES?

Hi All:

 

I've reviewed most if not all doc and threads on specifying networks for http connection. (Special thanks Peter Strange)

 

I need clarification on behavior if no suffix is provided (example: Connector.open("www.blackberry.com")

This is supposed to default to Connector.open("www.blackberry.com;deviceside=false") - an MDS/BES connection 

 

On my Storm V4.7.0.75, no suffix works but ";deviceside=false" does not work.

 

Since my Storm is not part of enterprise network neither should work....

 

Am I missing something?

 

Olaf

Verizon is an exception, they have a direct TCP stack available on the device.

Yes the Storm is on Verizon.

 

Exceptions... exceptions... 

 

Oh what a wonderful world!

 

 

Thanks, RexDoug

Stevie,

  

You are asking a much broader question.

 

Look at Peter Strange post on first page of this forum for

threads that address your question.

 

I don't have enough experience to give a "best practice".

Use CoverageInfo to determine the best connection, as outlined in Peter's post.

 

You will still prefer BES if available, or BIS-B if you are approved to use it. Otherwise, you would select ";deviceside=true" with no APN info (for this particular carrier).
