678489 - Opening www.crutchfield.com does not work

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

When attempting to navigate to 'http://www.crutchfield.com', it looks like the page components are processed as downloads (!) and then opened using HTMLViewer on the device.

Page works fine if you spoof to Microsoft IE agent. I guess it's the: http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"

With the mobile tools extension, I noticed that that page serves 'application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml' as mimetype for Fennec.

There is bug 209637 about this for supporting this mimetype. Otherwise this is tech evangelism.

Ah, interesting.  I think we should try to respond differently, though.  Maybe a landing page that explains that it's a 'legacy' mobile site or something?

We are not a WAP browser, we don't advertise accepting this mime type.

They have fixed their site.
