979797 - cinesunidos.com sends desktop site to Firefox OS

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

The cinesunidos.com site has several ways to delivers the content: there is one website for desktop computers, one app for Android, one for iPhone, and a very basic but usable mobile site. 

The site tries to detect devices and redirect to offer either apps or mobil site to mobile browsers. Unfortunately, it fails to detect Firefox OS devices correctly. For example, Firefox Android is redirected to http://pda.cinesunidos.com/android.asp, Firefox OS is not redirected but says on the Desktop page.

Selected HTTP response headers that demonstrate how the detection works:

Response for: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:18.1) Gecko/18.1 Firefox/18.1'
Response Status: 200
content-length: 379
content-type: text/html

Response for: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:26.0) Gecko/26.0 Firefox/26.0'
Response Status: 302
content-length: 159
location: http://pda.cinesunidos.com/android.asp
content-type: text/html

The site already detects the text "Android" and "iOS" to redirect to pages offering the corresponding apps.
The site can simply add the following logic after those redirects: if the User-Agent header contains the text "Mobi", go directly to the mobile portal.
