828397 - elconfidencial.com doesn't recognize B2G UA as mobile

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

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

elconfidencial.com serves a desktop site to B2G. Bug 823364 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.

The site http://www.elconfidencial.com/ is a spanish site.

Interesting I do not hit the same Web server all the time.

on 10 requests with User-Agent:'Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:18.0) Gecko/18.0 Firefox/18.0'  I hit *once* the redirection to the mobile site, 9 times I got the desktop site.

and something stranged happened with Firefox OS too. I hit sometimes another server, but not the mobile one for "sure".

Testing the access to the Web site on Firefox for Android, I get an automatic redirection to a pseudo anti virus Web site, which seems completely dubious. Weird. 

when checking for the content of this Web site it creates a fake JS UI and itself redirecting to yet another Web site.

hmmm my mistake for the virus. The shaddy web site happens when you type confidential instead of confidencial. DON'T DO IT. :)

tested on 
* iPodTouch + Safari
* Android   + Firefox
* Android   + Opera Mobile
* Android   + Opera Mini
* ZTE       + Firefox OS

Everywhere the Desktop Web site was received. Removing the UA override.
