Google mobile page does not render #45

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Press "START" 
2. enter "http://www.google.com/m" in the URL field
3. Hit "OK" and wait for the page to load.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Bunjallo returns with a blank page with the message "Content not viewable".

What version of the product are you using?
Bunjalloo 0.5.3

Please provide any additional information below.
I am unsure why the Google mobile pages are having problems. Originally I
thought it was because they use XHTML Mobile, but then Facebook mobile
appears to be unaffected, and they have the same DOCTYPE

Unfortunately I don't have a big list of XHTML Mobile sites so I cannot
provide more URLs.

Google Mobile (Problem) - http://www.google.com/m
Facebook Mobile (OK) - http://m.facebook.com/

http://www.google.com/m now returns this content type:

Content-Type: text/vnd.wap.wml; charset=UTF-8

And it really is wap.wml rather than html. e.g. it looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.2//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml12.dtd">
<wml> <head>
<card title="Google">
<onevent type="onenterforward">
<refresh>
<setvar name="q" value=""/>
</refresh>
</onevent> 

... etc ...

Which bunjalloo doesn't know how to render. I'd have to add XML parsing and a 
way to
render WAP. I'll add it to the TODO list, because adding XML would also make 
some
other features possible (RSS feeds, for example).

A good work around for this is http://www.google.com/xhtml, which displays the 
same
information and has the same features. Longer to type, but with bookmarks you 
only
need to do it once :-)
