843158 - starwoodhotels.com doesn't recognize B2G UA as mobile

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

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

starwoodhotels.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.

Ah yet another interesting case. So if the user agent string is not known it is being redirected to a Web site service extracting information for a more accessible information.

On the device with UA override, ZTE gets the same experience than Firefox for Android and iOS, which is the desktop site. There is no specific mobile site it seems.


On the other hand Firefox for Android is working

* Firefox      OS        low end content
* Firefox      Android   desktop content
* Opera Mobile Android   desktop content
* StockBrowser Android   desktop content
* iPhone 3     iOS       desktop content

Is there a mobile browser receiving an actual mobile content outside of choosing it manually. I'm inclined to close this bug as invalid.

Closing as Invalid. as per previous comment. The UA Override is also useless. So I will remove it on Bug 932040
