WAP request to the HTTP request.

WML
 Content in WAP are presented to the phone using
the Wireless Markup Language (WML).
 WML is analogous to HTML for HTTP applications.
 It is designed to interface with the micro-
browsers of WAP-enabled devices.
 A WML document is a collection of cards.
 Each card carries enough information to fit in
one screen of a mobile device.
 One or more cards can be logically grouped into
a deck of cards.
