Is it true that there is no solution /workaround to download a file larger than 256 KB using a BIS_B http connection? Or am I missing somthing?

 Should I change the connection type??

Please help me.

Thanks  Simon,

  But could you please help me with this ?  Does all this need to be done on the client end ?  How will we get the 216 response ???

well, BIS is not really defined in public resources as it is RIMs own transport, used for push and registered applications.

How did you get access to BIS-B? Did you appy for push or did you register your application using the alliance program?

I am using the usual http connection and setting the transport using Connection factory class

cf = new ConnectionFactory();

cf.setPreferredTransportTypes(AppConstants.TRANSPORT_CHANNEL_PRIORITIES);

Ans these are the transport types being used , in the order of priority

public static final int[] TRANSPORT_CHANNEL_PRIORITIES = {
TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_TCP_CELLULAR, TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_WAP2,
TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_BIS_B, TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_WAP,
TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_MDS, TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_TCP_WIFI };
