1019189 - expedia.com sends desktop site to Firefox OS

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

This site intends to send one version to mobile phones and another version to desktop. Unfortunately the server isn't set up to detect Firefox OS devices as smartphones.

This HTTP analysis shows how the sniffing works:

Firefox Android redirected to http://www.expedia.com/MobileHotel, Firefox OS not redirected

Selected HTTP response headers:

Expedia in the past was using WURFL.

So far nothing has changed. Not sure if it's because they are into changing the site or if it fell through the cracks. It's happening. :) Let's see.

seems it didn't fall through any crack this time :) Test passes and site is indeed fixed.
