In SharePoint 2010 you can send sms messages to a https url. I want to use growl instead. I am not sure where to start with this, will I need to create a php web site with https and use that or does anybody know of an easy way?

Thanks,

Tony.

Assuming that the Sharepoint server and the machine you want to get
notification on are not the same machine, then yes, I think you would
have to create the webpage to handle receiving the SMS-via-HTTPS and
then passing it along to Growl. You should be able to use PHP, but if
you have any experience with ASP.NET, Microsoft has some instructions
on building an OMS service here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff606754.aspx

Once your service is able to receive the SMS, then you need to get it
to Growl. If you are doing this on an internal network, then you could
probably just target the IP/port of the machine and send a GNTP packet
to it. If you need to send it over the internet, you will have to know
the user's IP address, and they will have to have any firewall or
router set up to allow the incoming GNTP port traffic.

If you want to detail out the process flow you envision, I could
probably provide some more specific input. I have never worked with
Sharepoint or OMS, but since it is just data flowing over HTTP(s), it
should be doable.

Thanks Brian, I'll look in to the info you have given me and let you know how I get on. I'll also work on a process flow for it at some point. Will probably not be spending too much time on this over the next few weeks due to work commitments.
