The value should be the subscriber's phone number (mdn). We have been unsuccessful at finding a good/solid solution for retrieving the mdn and inserting an http header. The mdn (in our case) is stored in a database, so the information is easily available. However, we do not know how to make squid request the mdn and inject the http request header.

How does this work without squid? We are using squid to proxy our own
custom browser ( only on BB since it uses a lot of RIM browser related classes)
and routinely insert various headers and send back browsing info.
We use squid to offload things like DNS lookups that can slow down the phone.

It sounds as if you are asking "how do we get the browser on the phone to
add an id header using squid?" Will cookies work for you or don't you have
anyone to set the cookie?

What do you have now? Does it run without squid?
