2 | The wireless gateway (such as a Phone.com's Up.Link Server or Nokia Active Server) decodes the request from the wireless device, creates an HTTP or HTTPS request (depending on what is specified in the URL) for the specified URL, and sends it to the Integration Server. |

4 | The Integration Server sends an HTTP or HTTPS response to the wireless gateway. |
