Hi all,
I've recently been playing with a Vodafone V1640 (I understand that this is what Vodafone UK will be selling their Universal as), and have an issue that I'm hoping you guys can help me solve.
Basically, I'm surfing some of my websites using the WAN connection. Now, all these sites are coded in XHTML, yet when viewed with this V1640, it seems that the sites won't look as intended. Actually, it may work for a couple of page visits, and then it stops displaying the stylesheets.
After looking at the MIME "Accept" types sent to the web server by various PDAs and PC browsers, I *think* the problem may be due to the accept type that this V1640 is sending, ie "application/xhtml+xml". Strictly speaking, this is the correct content_type that should be sent back to the PDA by any web server hosting XHTML pages, but because MSIE doesn't support this MIME type properly, it's an issue a lot of web developers seem to be having at the moment when hosting sites on MS/IIS web servers.
Now, what I wanted to know is, can people with Universals from different networks report back as to what "Accept" types are being sent from your PDA to a web server? I want to establish whether the browser on this V1640 is at fault by not also sending an "Accept" type of "*/*" like most other PDAs I've come across - and also MSIE for that matter, too.
Any help is really appreciated!!
