843141 - foodily.com doesn't recognize B2G UA as mobile

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

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

foodily.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.

There is some backend mobile detection that modifies the page (no redirect to separate mobile site). In addition they do some responsive CSS media query work (yay!). Here are the headers of two requests that demonstrate (through the content-length difference) the backend UA sniffing:

So we didn't make progress on this one. Though it seems a low hanging fruit.

Jeff Kimble seems one of the architects or manager?

And John Cramp a software engineer there

The twitter account has not been responsive. Unfortunately.
