TUTORIAL: Changing the language Web pages are requested - General Topics

I’ve just received a question from one of my blog readers about how the built-in Web browser in the Pocket PC / Windows Mobile operating system, Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) / Internet Explorer Mobile (IEM) can be configured to request pages in different language than US English if you use an English language Windows Mobile operating system.
As this question is a very interesting one and very few people have the necessary HTTP- and actual programming (let alone offering a proxy server for free that does the trick!)-level knowledge to answer this question, I’ve decided to write a complete article on it.
Unfortunately, modifying the regional setting in Settings/System/Regional Settings doesn’t change the “Accept-Language” HTTP header sent out to the Web server (it’s based on this HTTP request header that most HTTP servers – except for Google, which I’ll elaborate later –, if they have content in more than one language, decide what language they should return their content in) – not even in the latest WM5 AKU2, as can also be seen in this screenshot. I took the screenshot on a Dell Axim x51v with the latest, AKU2 A12 ROM, after setting the regional setting to Germany (and rebooting). It certainly shows IEM sends out requests telling the Web server that it prefers U.S. English pages, no matter what the operating system setting is.
As far as alternate browsers are concerned, NetFront 3.3 always sends out the ‘en-us’ language/country code and Opera 8.6 doesn’t send out any Accept-Language header at all (click the links to see the screenshots showing this!).
Needless to say, PIE/IEM plug-ins like PIEPlus, MultiIE or Spb Pocket Plus (click the links for the latest reviews!) can’t modify this header either.
Finally, IEM/PIE doesn’t store the language code in the Registry anywhere (tested with the latest, AKU2 ROM); neither under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Internet Settings nor under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Internet Explorer.
Therefore, the only way to get pages in your own language is
selling your English device and buying one with the correct ROM, in the given language
use an external proxy server to change the language code sent out to another one before sending the request further, to the target Web server. If you have a Java Virtual Machine (easilky downloadable from here - select 'Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update X'), I’ve written an easily modifiable, open-source (source here) HTTP proxy server available here. You will only need to start it with the command
java HTTPProxyAcceptsLangHeaderRewrite portnumber languagecode
if you have a JRE (I’ve compiled the class with JDK 1.3, so, any JRE will do) installed on your PC (again, you can get it at the above-linked Sun page).
For example, the command
java HTTPProxyAcceptsLangHeaderRewrite 8080 cool-eh
will result in the following response from http://www.proxydetect.com/ (after you correctly set up your Pocket Internet Explorer / Internet Explorer Mobile browser to use the proxy - please see for example this article on doing so):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This shows that indeed the (of course non-existing) ‘cool-eh’ language code was sent to the server.
There may be other header-rewriting proxies out there if you don’t want to use my application.
Mailing the webmaster of the given webpage to do a dynamic country lookup depending on the client’s address. Say, if you have a Thai client IP address, you would receive a page with Thai content even if your Web client sent out an Accept-Language header of ‘en-us’. Many Web sites do so – for example, even Google.
Finally, you can also install the Paragon Language Extender if and only if you have a pre-WM5 device (never ever try to install the Language Extender on a WM5 device – I’ve tested it on the WM5 x51v; I had to hard reset). You won’t need to install the full version – the second, Compact setup (as can also be seen in here) will do just fine. The results after the setup will be as follows:
which is exactly what you wanted (that is, in this case, ‘de’ denotes I’ve installed the German extender; the screenshot also shows it has its own German-language dictionary).
Again, the Paragon Language Extender is only usable on pre-WM5 devices and the accessible languages are somewhat restricted (there is no, for example, Thai).

REVIEW: Excellent Windows Mobile download tool HandyGet released!

In my well-known article The definitive guide to downloading files, images and saving Web pages with Pocket PC-based Web Browsers (from now on: Download Bible), I’ve already elaborated on WinMobile Download Accelerator (WMDA), the, up to now, only reliable multithreaded downloader tool for the Windows Mobile platform, along with all the (non- multithreaded) tools and Web browsers.
Now, a brand new, excellent download utility, HandyGet has been released. I’ve, certainly, given it a test ride at once to see whether it’s any good.
(Please PLEASE read the Download Bible before going on because, in order to be as terse and up-to-the-point as possible, I won’t elaborate in here in which cases self-standing download tools can be useful, how they can speed up the transfer and what their problems can be. That is, if you don’t know the tests / terminology I’ve introduced in the Download Bible, you won’t likely understand this article.)

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Availability
It’ll become available here (it’s not there yet – the program is so new). The 30-day unrestricted trial, however, is already available here. As the main Handango page is still not accessible (and there are no other sources of the program), I don’t know about the price.
Usage
By default, it doesn’t monitor Internet Explorer downloads; this must be explicitly enabled (General / IE Monitor).
After this, it’ll intercept download requests and display the download config screen as can be seen in here (the bottom of the dialog is here) and will start downloading at once.
It, unlike WMDA, also has a log dialog, which shows the HTTP request / response headers sent (screenshot 1 (showing the request) 2 and 3 (with the response)).
It, as with WMDA, is able to resume downloads and remember the download list through restarts.
Speed tests
As can clearly be seen, HandyGet excels at both the “slow-source” and the “fast-source” downloads (compare these figures to the ones in the WDMA section of the Download Bible!). The former are downloaded even faster than with WMDA and the latter only exhibit little speed hit (which is diametrically opposed to the WMDA case.)
text/plain files
(Please see section 3.1. „Content-Type"-related problems (AKA "When I click a CAB link, it's not downloaded but shown!") in the original Download Bible for more generic, not HandyGet-related information on this question!)
Of course, as the built-in Internet Explorer tries to render files like these, the execution isn’t passed to HandyGet when downloading text/plain files. In these cases, of course, you can just enter / paste the URL of the resource you’d like to save to HandyGet. An example of this can be seen here, where I’ve entered the text/plain http://www.octopus-studio.com/ETDict.mdx URL directly into the program.
Note that as with both the other download managers, it automatically copies the URL from the clipboard to the URL field. That is, if you have a link copy-capable, say, PIE plug-in, you can easily download the file even if it’s a text/plain file or you don’t allow for IEM integration.
Summary
Compared to WMDA…
Pros
Doesn’t use the main storage at all when downloading to cards; it seems to use an in-memory buffer (it doesn’t use any kind of temporary directory when downloading – only uses about 200 kbyte dynamic RAM for some buffering)
Much less speed hit than with WMDA with fast sources – there is no need to disable it at all if you download from fast sources
I haven’t encountered problems like WMDA’s “a 0 byte is added to the file” when downloaded
Allows for simultaneous downloads (this must, however, be explicitly enabled; then, you can download up to four files at the same time. Other download tasks as can also be seen in here will be paused until one of the current download is finished. It should also be pointed out that, with slow sources (see the WDMA section in the Download Bible for examples!), if you plan to download more than one file, you should enable multiple downloads – individual downloads won’t be slowed down because of this. Kudos to the developer!
Cons
Doesn’t make it possible to supply the referrer. This will cause problems with sites like Caiman (please see section 3.3. (Referrers passed to download? The Caiman problem) for more info in the Download Bible)
Verdict
Give it a try – it’s certainly better than WinMobile Download Accelerator in most respects (except for the Referer support)!

REVIEW: Free tabbed Internet Explorer plug-in Maximus 1.0

The built-in Internet Explorer in the Windows Mobile operating system has always lacked multi-tabbed operation. There have been several third-party solutions to the problem, the latest being the free Maximus. Read on to find out how it fares against other Internet Explorer add-ons!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Availability, compatibility
Unfortunately, the developer’s homepage doesn’t have a dedicated page on the application – only the statement “Open multiple tabbed pages inn a single browser! A fully functional web browser similar to Internet Explorer which allows you to open an unlimited amount of web pages at one time.”.
The direct download link is this HERE. Unzip the file and either transfer Maximus.ARM.CAB to your Pocket PC and click it there or start Maximus.exe on your desktop.
Installation
Upon install, if you, instead of directly transferring Maximus.ARM.CAB to your Pocket PC and clicking it there (the recommended way of installing the application), start Maximus.exe to install, make sure you untick “UnityRuntime” in the installer (as can be seen in here) because:
it would install the original version of CF2, which is NOT recommended any more. Make sure you get CF2 SP1 instead. It’s the latest version of CF2 and is much better than the one shipped with Maximus. See this article for more info on downloading.
what’s more, the package contains the WM5-only CF2 CAB file and, therefore, can’t be installed on WM2003(SE) devices.
After installation, the app must be started by just tapping the new Maximus icon (the app is, technically, not a simple PIE plug-in but an add-on which must be separately started, just like ftxPBrowser or Webby).
Pros
Using it doesn’t result in a considerable speed hit when loading new pages, as opposed to some other Compact Framework-based products like Webby. I’ve done some benchmarks with my traditional Web transfer benchmark page. While it took Maximus 30 seconds to fully load the page, the "barebone" PIE spent 24...27s in default (and 17..22 s in One Column) mode on my A12 AKU2.3 Dell Axim x51v. (Note that AKU 2 introduced a big loading speed increase; this is why the plain PIE loading speed is much better than in this pre-AKU2 A06 test). That is, the speed difference is about 15%, which is negligible
It’s free and if you really don’t have anything else but must have tabbed browsing support, you may want to use it. (But, then, the free version of Webby, Opera Mini, Minimo or, if you have a Pocket PC with an operating system prior to WM5, ftxPBrowser may prove much more useful.)
Cons
It really doesn’t add anything to the underlying PIE, except for new tabs, and even hides the original menus (more on this later)
It doesn’t support WM5 softkeys
it doesn’t add any new page / link / image context menu options. For example, the lack of link context menu options means, as it’ll open a link in the current frame, you can’t easily open a new frame for a new link
It hides the original IE menus. This means you won’t be able to access even basic functionality from inside Maximus. It’s impossible to change view mode (it defaults to the “Default” view mode, which isn’t very useful with many pages where the “One column” mode would be preferable); you can’t turn off/on loading pictures, you can’t hide the address bar, the text size (zoom percentage) etc.
It doesn’t have access to the persistent URL history, unlike ALL other alternates – it only lists URL’s entered in the last session
While the context menus have the Full Screen option, it doesn’t work
No access to favorites (a BIG problem!)
To get a picture of how simple its menus are, here are some screenshots: 1 2 3.
Error dialogs / messages don’t contain any text; an example can be seen here
Verdict
Definitely not recommended. Even the free version of Webby is far better if you really want to stick with Compact FW 2-based solutions (I wouldn’t). Currently, I don’t think you should even think about installing it. Hopefully a subsequent version will offer far more functionality.

Web browsing news: new version of Opera Mobile and NetFront out with major upgrades

Anyone having read my well-known Windows Mobile Web Browser Bible know NetFront and Opera Mobile are leading Web browsers on Windows Mobile. Betas / Technical Previews of forthcoming versions (3.4 for NetFront and 8.65 for Opera Mobile) have been constantly released; the last ones, of both browsers, recently. In this article, I elaborate on these brand new versions.
NetFront 3.4 Technical Previews 007
NetFront, while not really having gained new features (except for support for Flash), has been enhanced: now, the current, free (!) Technical Preview isn’t less usable than the commercial version (except for some, for most of the users, not THAT important, really advanced plug-ins like the Java Virtual Machine). This means you can have a fully-fledged Web browser without having to shell out any money – as is exactly the case with the new Opera Mobile, to be discussed below – till 08/31/2007 (it only expires then).

}
Getting and installing
Download the CAB file HERE (the main TP page is HERE).
Pros
No longer requires a lengthy initial setup (involving even a soft reset) phase at the first start or when you switch to proportional fonts
You’re no longer restricted to 10 bookmarks (favorites) in the TP version
It no longer restricts the number of the tabs to be opened to two either
The TP version too supports Flash as can be seen in for example HERE (showing Bomberman). It’s even capable of playing YouTube videos as can be seen in HERE. Unfortunately, its YouTube playback is WAY slower (that is, pretty useless) than that of Opera Mobile or, for that matter, the latest TCPMP Flash plug-in (of which I’ll soon publish an article), therefore, should be avoided. If you DO want to enable it, go to Menu / Tools / Browser Settings / External Tools / Plug-in and enable the given checkbox as can be seen in HERE.
Cons
Unfortunately, when you open a link in a new tab, the current settings (for example, rendering / one-column / image display mode) aren’t inherited, as opposed to ALL the other (decent) multitab-enabled browsers on both the desktop Windows and Windows Mobile. Sure, you can quickly apply pre-defined profiles at Menu / View Profile, but it’ll take a LOT of time to re-render the pages. Inheriting view settings would have been the best way to go.
The 5-tab restriction is still here (you can’t open more than five tabs at a time)
The Flash plug-in is as bad (CPU usage-wise) as was in version 3.3 (you will want to keep it deactivated in order to avoid your handheld to really slow down)
No MS Smartphone (WM6 Standard)-compliance: while the CAB installer can be installed on a WM5+ Smartphone, the main GUI isn’t displayed when you start the browser. (tested on the HTC Vox/s710 in both orientations)
Not compliant with WM operating systems prior to WM5
You must still manually switch to proportional fonts in Menu / Tools / Browser Settings / General / Font / Use proportional font (don’t forget to do this!)
Opera Mobile 8.65 beta 2
In my opinion, the best Windows Mobile Web browser, particularly on the Smartphone, is Opera Mobile. The new beta has recently been released and is available HERE for free (!), unrestricted (!) download. The major update is it no longer having driver memory problems (see my previous reviews of these problems) and is, therefore, a must install. To my knowledge, there aren’t other new features.
The trial expires on 10/01/2007 – that is, you can surf the Net for free until then. I, however, recommend going and buying a license – Opera certainly deserves the support, not only because Opera Mobile, but also their top-notch desktop Opera browser and Opera Mini.
The Smartphone (Windows Mobile Standard) version of Opera Mobile is a REAL must – way better than anything else. I’ll publish a big upgrade of the Windows Mobile Web Browser Bible, concerning Web browsing on the Smartphone, in the near future.
in netfront i can't find any progressbar or similar indicator for the current status of a loading page. is there something like that or doesn't netfront provide this feature?
edit: i will try netfront for some days. compared to opera mobile 8.65beta it seems that netfront offers an more acceptable browsing experience without changing a page's layout to one column on my qvga device(page overview and virtual canvas).
but opera mobile's one column view looks better than netfront's.

Excellent, free registry tracker tool RegLogger released!

I’ve dedicated several articles (for example, THIS) to tracking Registry changes. In addition to the WinDiff-based method I’ve explained, there are also other solutions doing the same; most importantly, SKTracker and the pretty new, free, highly recommended CeRegEditor (see the Registry Editor Bible for more info on the latter).
Now, however, an, in some cases, MUCH better, dynamic tool, RegLogger has been released for both current Windows Mobile platforms: Pocket PC (Windows Mobile Classic / Pro) and Smartphone (Windows Mobile Standard – man, I DO hate these name changes and the subsequent need for ever entering both names...).
It allows for dynamically tracking what changes there have been in the Registry dynamically (in runtime). Just an example of creating a subkey called “menneisyys da king” (see the, in the first screenshot, highlighted “Create” action) and, later, setting a String value “yeah” (see ID 144 in the same screenshot):

}
(WM6 VGA Pocket PC screenshot. Note that the value I’ve given to the new string can’t be seen; neither can be seen the full registry tree I’ve attached the new subkey to. These problems might be fixed in the subsequent versions.)
(WM6 QVGA Smartphone screenshot)
(WM2003 PPC screenshot)
(WM5 VGA PPC screenshot showing Resco Registry Editor’s reading out all the Registry values)
Availability, compatibility
Get the PPC / SP version HERE. It’s compatible with all PPC and Smartphone platforms starting with WM2003. Just unZIP the file, transfer its contents to your handheld and run REGLOGGER.exe. To start logging, enable Log / Capture. Note that, on some Smartphones (NOT on my CID / app unlocked WM6 HTC Vox / s710!) you might also need to import TestCert_Privileged.cer, should you encounter authentication problems.
Tips
Because of the HUGE amount of Registry access going on all the time, there are two text input fields and some checkboxes in Log / Settings you will need to make extensive use of.
First, if you’re absolutely sure the app you’re running and would like to track its Registry changes doesn’t have any active code in \Windows, which would result in the Registry change you’d like to find out, you can just enter \Windows (feel free to just leave out the leading backslash) to filter out most of the, in this case, unnecessary traffic in the “Exclude processes with this sub-str” as can be seen in the following:
Note that several programs put an executable file under \Windows; for example, Pocket Controller 6’s (the best Windows Mobile device controller app with a brand new remote Registry editor) PCCommLoader.exe under \Windows\StartUp. In these cases, you won’t want to filter out \Windows but, instead, enter PCCommLoader (or a substring of it) to the other text input field, “Include only from processes with sub-str”, as can be seen in the following screenshot:
You can also set which operation you’d like to track; by default, everything is logged, even reading (querying). You’ll most probably want to limit the number of the enabled checkboxes at the bottom.
Finally, you may also save the tracking results to a file using File / Save As. Note that, currently (as of version 1.0), it doesn’t contain the missing for example full Registry tree information either.
That's a really cool program I will use, will enable me to track all those nasty demo version registry entries I have.
BTW do you know of an application to edit .rgu or .hv files, so the kitchen-registry files. Of course you can use the editor but I haven't found any app that shows it in hive-view.
Is there any application for us track our Phone
for family, so we know where the kids are
its for a friend of mine
If someone knows if we can do it on PPC phone
would like to know
Will SmartPhone Tracker do the job
But i think thats just when our phone gets stolen
might jam the phone

New wmDA version out – now, with built-in full YouTube Flash download capabilities

New wmDA version out – now, with built-in full YouTube Flash download capabilities
I’ve frequently posted reviews (last one HERE; if it doesn’t work, try THIS instead) of the ever-evolving of WinMobile Download Accelerator (wmDA) by Adisasta, an application greatly helping in downloading files off the Web.
The latest, just-released version (2.5) of wmDA supports the direct download of YouTube Flash files. (Flash means you’ll only have access to H.263 videos at the resolution 320*240. This also means if you mean higher-quality and/or resolution H.264 videos, you’ll need to use the built-in YouTube access support of CorePlayer, the, currently, only Windows Mobile application to offer direct YouTube H.264 support. Please consult my Multiplatform YouTube bible for more info on all this – and on all the alternative solutions.)
The application is available HERE; the trial version is pretty much usable.
Note: Unlike some other titles (e.g., FlashVideoBundle; see the Multiplatform YouTube bible for more info) it doesn’t integrate into IEM. This means if you liked the easiness of watching / downloading video files of FlashVideoBundle, you may not find wmDA as excellent as the earlier application (and it’s not free either). Nevertheless, if you don’t want to download dozens or hundreds of video files every hour (but only some a week), the (semi-)manual way of address copying won’t cause you much overhead.
That is, you must manually copy the URL of a video to the clipboard and, after switching to wmDA, start downloading.
Using it from Internet Explorer Mobile (IEM)
In Internet Explorer Mobile (IEM), which doesn’t support direct link copying, you can do by going to the Web page of the given video, selecting all in the address bar by, for example, double clicking it, copying it to the clipboard, manually switching to wmDA selecting New and clicking OK. Note that you won’t need to manually paste the URL to anywhere: the contents of the clipboard will automatically be copied to the “URL” field.
If you have any of the current, highly recommended and WM5+ compliant IEM plug-ins (PIEPlus 2.0+, MultiIE 4+ or Spb Pocket Plus 3+), which all offer a way to copy the address of a link, you don’t even need to click the given Web page (and waiting until you can have access to the updated address bar) – just tap-and-hold the link and select the dedicated link context menu item to do the copying. In the following subsections, I explain this all with examples of all the three major IEM plug-ins:
PIEPlus 2+ (see review HERE):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(see Copy Address)
Spb Pocket Plus 4+ (see review HERE):
(look for “Copy Shortcut”; a 3.x screenshot is HERE, showing it also supported link copying)
MultiIE 4+ (review HERE):
(Link Tools / Copy Link Address)
Using it other Web browsers
Of course, you can copy page addresses from not only IEM: this works from all Web browsers that do support any kind of URL copying. Practically, you can do this in all of the current browsers, even in Java-based ones as, except for the vastly outdated TAO, all of the JVM’s support copying from the address input field (which also contains the current address). For example,
- in Opera Mobile, select “Copy link address” from the link context menu (available starting with 8.65)
- in NetFront, select “Copy Shortcut” from the context menu:
Note that the official wmDA YouTube video (I’ve also made it accessible on the YouTube itself; should you want to avoid watching WMV videos) shows how this all is done using Opera Mobile 9.5+. Again, it’s pretty similar to how you can copy links from other Web browsers.
Verdict
If you plan to go with a semi-manual way and/or you already have a wmDA license, using wmDA to download YouTube flash files is highly recommended.
UPDATE (some minutes later): Copying the address of the current Web page from inside Opera Mini:
1.) Navigate to the YouTube page (make sure you do this on the non-mobile view) and either press #1 (if your phone has a hardware dialpad) or go to Menu (left softkey) / Enter Address.
2.) If you haven’t disabled the new auto-completion address input field (the Auto-complete address input checkbox in Settings), press Down and go to Insert symbol… by pressing Up; and select it; you’ll be taken to the address input field of your Java environment. (You’re taken straight here if you disable the new, Opera Mini-specific address input field.)
3.) select Menu (right softkey) / Current Address
4.) As you can see, the address of the current page is displayed. Just copy it: highlight it entirely (under Jbed, to do this, click Shift, Ctrl and, finally, the left arrow on the on-screen keyboard) and press Ctrl-C on the virtual keyboard.
5.) Now, switch to wmDA and start downloading.
