wml

To my surprise I couldn't find a short and clear answer for this question. Is WAP/WML still relevant for todays mobile web/app development? Regards, Milanko WML is obsolete, and only used by a very small (<5%, maybe less) of active mobile devices. WAP 1.0 is similarly obsolete, but WAP 2.0 is still very much alive and kicking. 2.0 specifies XHTML Mobile Profile as its markup, which is a cut down version of full XHTML. Crudely put, WAP 2.0 is really just a specified combo of HTTP and XHTML Mobile Profile. You can forget WML, though, unless you really need to support Nokia 7110-type phones still

Is developing a website for a cellphone a totally different world? How would I detect whether a page is visited from computer or from a cellphone? I ask this because I see code like below: if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']) && (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'],'vnd.wap.wml')!==FALSE) && (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'],'text ml') === FALSE || (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'],'vnd.wap.wml') < strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'],'text ml')) )) { //cellphone readfile('index.wml'); } else readfile('index.htm'); How do I port the code into C#? In php you would typically check the $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']

I'm developing an website which is to be viewed on mobile (cellphone) devices. I'm just using plain HTML 4.01, nothing special at all. The pages render fine on all the mobile browsers we've tested, except for Nokia Series 40 1-5th editions. On closer inspection, it seems that IIS is automatically rendering the html with the content-type of text/vnd.wap.wml instead of text/html . Since we're not using WAP, the page fails with an error. I'm using ASP.Net MVC 1.0 so I've added a ActionFilterAttribute to override the content-type. This code runs but still comes out as vnd.wap.wml on the client
