WURFL Project Integration at OpenSiteMobile

This site highlights our integration of WURFL Project XML data into our MobileSiteOS™ Basic software. We manipulate WURFL Data and condense it down for our own purposes. A reduction of approximately 10:1. Once reduced, we use it as pure Perl code. Thus for small websites, there is no need for another database system, (ie: MySQL, etc.). Plus, detection is always by 'best guess' and does not require any particular exact match of a user agent stirng. This provides better 'new device' detection for new user agents that haven't been added to WURFL yet.

Please note: This is our original 'fixed width' website for WURFL data integration and is no longer maintained (as of 11/22/2009). Please feel free to look around, as it does offer a comparison of our evolution from static pages to dynamic page sizing. Our current website can be found at opensite.mobi.

Below are links to our demo. The first uses a typical index.html page which redirects to our mobile.cgi script via an http-equiv="refresh" or by JavaScript. If JavaScript is available, it is used to determine display size, otherwise WURFL detection is tried.

The second link forces our mobile.cgi script to use WURFL detection. This is just for demo purposes. It also brings you to a page displaying the returned values of our WURFL detection process. Try the Demo site with different mobile devices and see how it works.

Our specialty is open source programming using Perl/CGI, Javascript, XHTML and CSS.
