Wireless Session Protocol Features
Wireless Session Protocol (WSP) defines the methods that client and server applications use to exchange content, such as provisioning files. The methods that WSP defines include procedures for establishing and releasing sessions, the level of protocol functionality, content exchange with compact encoding, and procedures for suspending and resuming sessions. WSP uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 1.1 functionality. For more detailed information about WSP, see the WAP Wireless Session Protocol Specification Version 4-May-2000, available from the WAP Forum at https://www.wapforum.org/.
The following table shows the features that are required by the Push Router, such as connectionless unsecure push features. It does not list all of the WSP features that guided Microsoft® Windows® Smartphone and Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC development.
