828431 - espn.go.com doesn't recognize B2G UA as mobile

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

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

espn.go.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.

I've emailed my contact at ESPN, will update when I get a response.

In short, and understandably, ESPN would like a device before making this update.  Contact me for more details of their response.

FF OS device I take it, right?

With UA override On. The browser is redirected from 
http://espn.go.com/ to http://m.espn.go.com/

Removed the Override from the ZTE (Firefox OS). Firefox OS is being redirected to the Mobile site. The redirection is made through JavaScript on client side (not server side HTTP).

The following script is doing the job matching Mobile string and not iPad.

var a = navigator.userAgent,
    b = window.location,
    c = document.cookie,
    d = a.match(/iPad/i) || a.match(/Android/i) && !a.match(/Mobile/i) || a.match(/RIM Tablet/i),
    e = a.match(/Mobile/i) || a.match(/Mini/i),
    f = b.href.match(/src=mobile/i),
    g = -1 < c.indexOf("iphone_redirect=false"),
    h = -1 < c.indexOf("iphone_redirect=true");
if (d) {
    if (document.documentElement.className += " tablet ", (!a.match(/iPad/i) || h) && !g) b.href = "http://m.espn.go.com/wireless/?i=COMR&src=desktop"
} else e && (!g && !f) && (b.href = "http://m.espn.go.com/wireless/?i=COMR&src=desktop");


Good Job.

This has regressed, we received again the simplified mobile site on Firefox OS.

Karl, for that issue let's reopen 809796 instead :)

Hm, sorry - that one is Firefox Android specific. This one was initially about being served desktop content - I guess what happened here was that we spoofed as Fx on Android, saw the fix they did serving the fancy site to Fx on Android work due to the spoof, and assumed it was also fully fixed on Firefox OS?

Anyway, I'll open a new bug and leave this one about "desktop content instead of mobile content".
