I don't have a yahoo mail account but I do have yahoo logins for flickr. Lately i've been having problems with flickr over Wind NS. I used to be able to use the 'blog this' feature but now I can't. This happens a lot - things that work one day don't the next. And vice versa - I couldn't update my wordpress blog but now I can!

Using this Nokia N810 with its Gecko-based browser and Privoxy as described earlier I just called mail.yahoo.com It returned an application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml document - which I can't handle.

I'm getting more and more of these WAP documents. I used to be able to use timesonline but now I get a text/vnd.wap.wml doc returned. And it came from timesmobile.mobi - so either the times or the proxy has redirected me there. Does anyone understand what's happening here?

The N810's browser string starts "Firefox/3.0a1 Tablet Browser 0.2.2..." I get the same with Firefox on the laptop.

It seems that these pages automatically recognize that you are coming from a mobile carrier and from the WAP gateway. So they deliver the mobile page automatically and not the general page. As a hint: Use Opera as a browser for these pages, it can also read the WAP and xml-wap pages without conversion.

So there's nothing I can do to tell the site I'm not a phone? Any HTTP headers I could add with Privoxy?

Opera isn't avaiilable for the Nokia N810 - or wasn't last time I looked. Actually, the N810 browser will display these WAP pages too - it's just not configured to do so. As will Firefox 3 - there's an addon to configure it.

I intend to use Fennec as soon as it's stable.
