Hello,
I guess a better question is: What format does Apache return to the
browser when a page is redirected? Is it HTML, WAP or something else?
I did some more experimenting with another person's cell phone, and I
found that their phone did NOT get the 404 message. Here are the WAP
profiles of the phones:
Not_working phone :
http://communication-market.siemens.de/UAProf/SL56_10.xml
Working phone :
http://motorola.handango.com/phoneconfig/v300/profile/v300.rdf
Not_working phone's supported versions:
HTML = 4.0
XHTML = 1.0
WAP = 1.2
Working phone's supported versions:
HTML = none
XHTML = 1.1
WAP = 2.0
I looked at the accept headers from the phones, and most of the ones I
expected to see where there for both phones.
text/html
application/xhtml+xml
application.vnd.wap.wmlc
application.vnd.wap.wmlscriptc
application.vnd.wap.xhtml+xml
The Not_working phone's accept also has */*. Does that effect what
Apache will return on redirects? I'm not sure why that phone would send
that in the accept header, since it obviously can't really support */*
like a standard desktop browser.
If I've posted in the wrong list, please let me know.
Thank you for the help,
-Nate
