Hi,
I am trying to push a simple message to the phone. I am able to do it successfully if I am passing only one softkey to the XML post command. Now when I add a second key like below, I get the 413 error. Any ideas.
<CiscoIPPhoneText>
<Title>Hello World</Title>
Hello World Prompt
<Text>My text here</Text>
<SoftKeyItem>
<Name>OK</Name>
<URL>Init:Services</URL>
3
</SoftKeyItem>
<SoftKeyItem>
<Name>Call Admin</Name>
<URL>Dial:447</URL>
2
</SoftKeyItem>
</CiscoIPPhoneText>
ERROR:
The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large.

I think the problem is that you are missing the tags. Try it like this and see if it works:
<SoftKeyItem>
<Name>OK</Name>
<URL>Init:Services</URL>
3
</SoftKeyItem>
Update: huh...I think this post editor ignores the "Position" tag. So it seems like you had this tag in your XML.

The paylod for CiscoIPPhoneExecute is limited, I believe to 500 bytes. It doesn't look like your request exceeds that however. You may be able to see more detail by getting a network packet capture (e.g. via Wireshark) from the phone's extra switch port during the test - feel free to attach here.
CiscoIPPhoneExecute is mainly intended to push an HTTP URL to the phone, and then have the phone request that URL from server - which could then serve a potentially much larger CiscoIPPhoneText object as needed.

Hi,
Well, when I did minimize the text I am pushing in the <Text> tag, it passed through. It is definately a payload issue like David indicated. I didn't include the exact text I am actually sending in my post. So when I minimized the text and added the second softkey it worked.
But I wonder, how other IP phone services like Berbee CNN News Feed Reader for example is doing it? It pushes a lot of characters to the phone screen. Or is that a different method?
Thanks

The key is to send a URL to the phone via Execute command instead of using any objects by itself. That is what we do with PhoneTop Messenger...

Thanks everyone. I guess for lenghty text we'll definately use the URL and ExecuteCommand.
Thx
