IIS question - feed different index.htm page for mobile devices

[David Thielen]

Hi;

This is for a website that is just html pages, no ASP.NET. I want the
default page to be a different page if it's a mobile device. I can do
this in ASP.NET by looking at the browser size and redirecting. But is
there a way in IIS to point it to different page(s) for mobile
devices?

thanks - dave

Hi Dave,

==================================================

As far as I know IIS does't support this currently. In ASP.NET we can check
Request.Browser to know if the request is from a mobile device.

What version of IIS?

You might be able to find a URL rewriter that will allow you to query the
headers.

If IIS7 you could use the integrated pipeline to create a .NET module to
handle this rewriting.

in iis this is done with an isapi filter. pre iis 7.0, these must be
written in c/c++ (though its pretty simple code)

Thank you everyone.

I think the easiest way is to just create a small ASP.NET app to do
this - that's fast and I know how to do that. I just wanted to check
in case IIS had a redirect for mobile built in.

thanks - dave
