Using via HTTP gateway can get annoying when the
phone's software throws up 'Midlet wants to send
information, is this OK' messages on each poll.
Presumably this is a phone issue, but if there's any
way to avoid it, that would be great.

For example, don't poll the server; send over a delay
(ie 30 secs default) when first connecting to the
gateway, and then let the gateway just feed data to the
client along those durations. That could work.

Excellent little program, anyway!

    If you're using a NOKIA there should be an option to always
    grant web acess to the application. I don't know about other
    phones. But even so, maybe it would be a good idea if WLirc
    could keep a GPRS connection always ON. I reported
    something like this in the Bugs section.

    Just to let you know, most Nokia phones don't let the
    connection be open. They save all received data of one HTTP
    connection into their buffer and return it to the
    application after the HTTP request is finished
    (disconnected). There was a support for stay alive
    connection in Virca for a while but it was dropped later.
    (because of too much compatibility problems if I've
    understood right)
