How to tell if a connection is being made through BES?

nurikabe · ‎08-20-2008

Hi,

I'm new to BlackBerry development; sorry for what is likely to be a newbie question.

Is there a way to determine if a network connection is going through BES or not? Likewise, when going through BES, is there a way to know the maximum files size that can be transmitted?

Thanks in advance!

The deviceside=false parameter can be used to direct a connection through a BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The following link explains this further.

There is no API to poll the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to determine its setting for the maximum file size. However, if a file is over the maximum size it will return a 413 response code on the connection. Please have a look at this link for more details.
