I'm using a 7100t (OS 3.8) from T-Mobile.

I'm trying to write my own MIDlet application that uses TCP instead of the MDS to access web content. To make sure I'm using TCP and not the MDS I am using the ";deviceside=true" flag appended to the URL. This works about 50% of the time. When the application fails it returns an exception that says:

"Malformed Address. Returning null connection"

However, when I change the "deviceside" flag in the URL from "true" to "false" so I can go through the MDS it runs perfectly 100% of the time.

Any tips or ideas on what could be causing this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you kindly,
Jeremy

Sorry - can't help, but can sympathize. I am having the same problem with my code. Also noticed some Verichat user reporting the same issue...

Hi, Try using IP instead of URL

HttpConnection conn = (HttpConnection) Connector.open("206.268.0.234");
