I've been working further on the google voice app for windows mobile. Larry pointed me in the direction of some code that makes HttpWebRequest handle form posts. From this I've managed to successfully post a form. However google relies on cookies, and the Compact Framework version of WebRequest doesn't use cookies. I'm going to have to deal with the reading and writing the cookies via headers for the response and request. I haven't made this work yet, but hope to sometime soon.

Google Voice with windows mobile

I began looking into creating a google voice application on windows mobile today.

I was hoping to create a screen scraper in combination with a form injection to create a mobile application capable of injecting messages into the web interface. I swiftly came to the conclusion I have no idea how to inject messages into a web interface.

So I'm downloading the firefox code to try to figure out how browsers do this, to see if I can have my code behave the same way.

Something tells me if I follow this rabbit hole I'll learn a lot about how browsers work and other web communication in the process.

So with this first blog post we'll hopefully set a theme to keep writing on.
