Nokia wrt widget not working with Nokia E63, E71

Question

I have made a nokia wrt widget, which connects to the server at startup.

The app works on most of the devices, but not on E63 and E71.

At start-up i call sendRequest() method which has http connection like below:

loginReq = new XMLHttpRequest();

    try {
        netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserRead");
    } 
    catch (e) {

alert('exception: ' + e); // i get exception here... }

loginReq.onreadystatechange = function(){

        if (loginReq.readyState == 4) {

            if (loginReq.status == 200) {

                loginResponseString = loginReq.responseText;
            }
 }

}

The exception is: ReferenceError - Can't find variable: netscape.

Please help.

Answer 1

The problem was actually in the below line... xmlHttp.open('POST', url_frame, true);.....................(1)

The devices on which the client server Nokia WRT widget app didnt work were: Nokia E63, Nokia E51, Nokia E71.

The above devices belongs to Symbian S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack1

On these devices 'POST' mentioned in (1) does not work unfortunately.

So we need to use xmlHttp.open('GET', url_frame, true);.....................(2) i.e GET in nokia wrt widget for client server application.

Conclusion: To the best of my knowledge, Symbian S60 3rd Edition Feature pack2 devices does not support for POST in Nokia WRT Widget.

I have tested the above on these 3 devices. If someone has any other specific reasons about it or has opinions different than mine, please post it...
