Confirmed, clearly wrong server side detection. It can be easily fixed.
I tested http://mobile.m6.fr/ and it is working without issues, even the videos.

Site owners need to be contacted.
Guillaume feels free to contact them and takes ownership of the bug.

I contacted M6 on twitter. The developers told me.

In the discussion on twitter, Julien said: 

> ^.*Mozilla.*Mobile.*$

It will work, but maybe not the ideal way of doing it or more exactly there is no need for Mozilla at the start in this case. For example, it will match the iPhone too.

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile/7A341 Safari/528.16


So if we want to make it simpler, a match on lowercase "mobile" is enough.

/mobi/i 


Benefits: 
it helps to have a wider net for catching the mobile browser such as Opera Mobi, IEMobile, iPhone, IPodTouch, etc. They all have "mobi" in their string.

Constraints: 
The ipad is one of the only tablet which has Mobile in their UA string. So it will receive the mobile site too. So basically, it's better to do 

all /mobi/i but not /ipad/i

What is the UA framework which is used for identification homemade? or something specific to Cobol Server 2.0.
