MO SMS messages received to a short number hosted by Roottori are delivered to the service provider using HTTP GET requests. These requests are much like the MT SMS send requests described in the previous chapter, except they originate from Roottori servers to an URL specified by the service provider. Each message that is to be routed to the service provider (e.g. based on a keyword and short number combination) will trigger an HTTP GET request, and any reply generated by the request is parsed into an SMS message that is sent back. The URL, along with request parameters, can be customized to fit the needs of the content provider, and can contain the following fields:  

Default name
Description
msisdn
The msisdn of the message originator  
to
The short number to which the message was sent to 
msg
The message
op
Operator identifier
udh
UDH part of message

These parameters are passed in the request query string, i.e. after the URL provided by the service provider. All parameters are URL escaped, latin-1 encoded. An actual request URL might look as follows:  

http://serviceprovider/sms/service?msisdn=358405134265&to=16230&msg=This+is+a+test&op=FISL
