V801SA not good for fotolog (and some moblog?)
V801SAはfotolog(そして一部のmoblog)に向かず!?
Though I haven't updated it much these days, many of you know that I love a service called fotolog; Some of yo may even know that I have started the TOKYOTODAY group log.
And as a matter of course, the first thing I did with my V801SA was to take a photo and upload it to TOKYOTODAY. But instead of the "Successful upload" mail, I got an error message. And so did sasurau.
I finally did a quick test and found why that was.
On fotolog, if you want to upload the photo via e-mail, you would address the mail to the upload address of fotolog (you can find it at FAQ) and make the subject look like this "your_fotolog_id:password" and attach the picture.
Very simple. And there is no problem uploading with FOMA P2102V phone.
So I sent the same mail to myself and I got this result:
P2102V:
Subject: test:dayo
V801SA:
Subject: =?iso-2022-jp?B?dGVzdDpkYXlv?=
Apparently, V801SA encodes the subject into ISO-2022JP no matter what characters are used (or not used) where as P2102V only encodes when necessary.
So those people who were trying to use V801SA as your fotolog phone or for moblogging should be warned and try not to use the subject line to send any commands or IDs.
日本語訳は後日
まとめ
V801SAでうまくfotologに写真がアップロードできないので原因を調査したところ
V801SAはSubjectに半角英数しか使っていない場合でも、ISO2022JP(JIS)エンコードしていることが判明
fotologのメールアップロードはsubjectを「id:password」のフォーマット(すべて半角英数)にするのが鉄則なので正しく認識されないというのが原因でした
mobloggerも注意、subjectを使ってコマンドやIDのやりとりすることはできません
