826510 - r7.com doesn't recognize B2G UA as mobile

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect, P5)

Description

[Lawrence Mandel [:lmandel] (use needinfo)]

r7.com serves a desktop site to B2G. Bug 819210 added an UA override for this domain. The override should be removed once the domain serves mobile content to B2G. This bug tracks the evangelism for the site to recognize the B2G UA and the removal of the override at that time.

Interesting when we type directly http://m.r7.com/ we get a very functional web site which is at 
http://m.r7.com/universalizationLayer/m/t/r7

Except for photos, where we get "Block Not Available".

Suggestion for fixing the issue. Sending the same version of the site to Firefox OS than Firefox Android.

The [UA string for Firefox OS][1] has the patterns

    "Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:$VERSION) Gecko/$VERSION Firefox/$VERSION"
    "Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; nnnn; rv:$VERSION) Gecko/$VERSION Firefox/$VERSION"

* where `$VERSION` is a number.
* where `nnnn` is a string.

but we usually recommend to identify the substring `/mobi/` as much as possible so it will also help other browser vendors on mobile.

There is a dependency on video not playing on the mobile version of the site. See the block from Bug 922000 added by Adam. Thanks Adam, I had missed that.

r7.com is not solved yet. Careful there is UA override.
We are still receiving the Desktop version.
