Vodafone transcoding in Spain   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #25657 of 31578 |
Today Vodafone Spain is using User Agent tricks. For now all connections
from Vodafone clients use this :

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; OpenWeb 5.5.4-04) Opera 8.54

It seems Vodafone is doing this intermitently since 1st October (or more).

*The very bad news*: There is no other header with real user agent info.

Can anybody confirm this?


This is the dump of $_SERVER variables for a request using a Nokia 3200:
