Description

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

On the server side, we receive the same answers (see below).
In the home page there is a script doing the redirection.

	if(isMobileBrowser())
	{
		if(cookies_enabled())
		{
			var mcindex = document.cookie.indexOf("mobileaccess=true");
			if(mcindex==-1)//mobile cookie not found
			{
				window.location = "http://m.nasdaq.com";
			}
		}
		else//cookies not enabled
			window.location = "http://m.nasdaq.com";
	}


And the function isMobileBrowser() is in 
http://www.nasdaq.com/includes/global.min-1232014v1.js

function isMobileBrowser() {
	var b = new Array("NetFront", "Windows CE", "Android", "iPhone", "Nextel", "Alcatel 735i", "LG 8", "Samsung", "BlackBerry", "Java/1.4.1_02", "Blazer", "Palm", "SMARTPHONE", "Danger", "hiptop", "MOT", "RAZR", "AUDIOVOX", "Symbian", "Nokia", "Sony Ericsson", "Googlebot-Mobile");
	var a = sanitize(navigator.userAgent.toUpperCase());
	for (x in b) {
		if (a.indexOf(String(b[x]).toUpperCase()) > -1) {
			return true
		}
	}
	return false
}

So here the choice would be to add mobi to catch more mobile browsers. The list seems to be quite organic.

The mobile site is working well on Firefox OS.
http://m.nasdaq.com/
So it is just a matter of receiving the same content.

Trying a 1st contact on twitter.
