Bug 125444 – [GTK] REGRESSION: www.yahoo.com redirects to the mobile version after UA change

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Sergio Villar Senin]

The recent UA change from bug 124229 triggered this because if I revert to the old UA then I get the desktop version.

I cannot reproduce this with Epiphany btw :?

[Alberto Garcia]

Ah yeah, if I replace X11; Linux x86_64 with X11; Intel Mac OS X then
it redirects.

This patch is very similar with my first one

https://bug-124229-attachments.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=216802

But @mrobinson commented this https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124229#c8

So I think we're in a kind of a dilemma: some site will redirect us if change it; some other will do too if we doesn't.

I don't get your point Victor, what this patch does is claim to be Mac OS X properly (by not keeping the X11), it doesn't contradict Martin's comment you linked to. Do you know of a site that breaks with this patch?

I'm curious how the Windows build managed to succeed - just by looking at the patch I would have expected it to fail on an undefined cpuDescriptionForUAString() since the #if guard for that version is not removed.

Oh right, the Windows build is not a WebKitGTK+ build.

This quirk seems to no longer be needed, at least in my testing. I remove it in a patch in bug #142074.
