  • Le « UA Sniffing » c’est mal. Mais si vous êtes obligé (je prie pour que ça ne m’arrive pas)...

    WURFL - Mobile Device Database by ScientiaMobile

    WURFL = Wireless Universal Resource FiLe
    Note: At the time when WURFL was first created (2001), the term ’wireless’ referred to mean what we currently call ’mobile’.

    WURFL is a Device Description Repository (DDR), i.e. a framework that enables applications to map HTTP requests to a description of the capability of the mobile device that requests the page.
    In this regard, WURFL pre-dates the time when the DDR term was coined and could arguably be caracterized as the first DDR.
    In the last year, WURFL role has expended from being a DDR for mobile devices to being a framework to detect every HTTP client worth recognizing.

    Thanks to WURFL, mobile web sites and application can :

    – programmatically abstract away devices differences
    – avoid the need to modify applications whenever a new device ships
    – avoid the need to track new devices on the market
    – WURFL is a global database of all devices and the API to tap that information programmatically.

    Toutes mes excuses à ceux que j’aurais choqué.
