Moble Site

Hi!, recently i am trying to add mobile capabilities to my web site. I tried to use IsMobileDevice to detect wether an user request come from a desktop or from a mobile device in order to service apropiate response. For IE, Firefox works fine, but for Opera it doesn´t and recognize it as a mobile user. As i don´t have access to machine.config, which is logical,i can´t update the list of user agents, despite i know there are some sites out there which maintain acurate and actualized lists of agents. So only what have to be done is periodically watch at those sites and whenever they update the list download it and update machine.config file. Can you update the list os user agents to make it easier for us programmers to identify users agents in case we need to deliver different content for different kinds of such agents? Or there is another slution for this matter, in whichthere is not need to implement amanual detection of user agent bylooking at HTTP_USER_AGENT and extract user agent information?

Thanks,

 

Hi, thanks for your reply (I was returned waiting for email). It seems razonable to me your politics about config.sys but what about Opera? and perhaps Safari? What about Search Engine Spiders? So could you add those entries so their agents could be accurate aknowledged by IsMobileDevice. Other question i do have is about the order in wich the default pages are executed, for example from those which come first:


index.html


index.aspx


default.html


default.aspx





Tanks in advance.

 

Thanks again! I read the article.
