843153 - games.com doesn't recognize B2G UA as mobile

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

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

Description

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

games.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 server sends different content depending on the user without redirection to a different domain name. To be contacted and ask them to identify the substring "mobi" and not tablet.


A way to detect it is by 
→ http -b GET http://www.games.com/ User-Agent:"$FANUA" | grep -i dashboardmobile
    <div id="DashboardMobile-yw85" class="dashboard-mobile-wrapper">
$('#DashboardMobile-yw85').dashboardMobile();

I didn't realize but games.com is a brand of AOL
http://help.aol.com/help/product/gamesdotcom/

Do we have contact with AOL?
The CTO is Christina
