Like Vodafone in the Past Spring seems to obscure the HTTP Header “User Agent” under certain scenarios. The “User Agent” is used to identify whether the user has an iPhone, a Nokia N95 and so on. Please don’t do that sprint, it is nice that you offer automatic transcoding of pages, but make that a service to opt-in. You need to allow for content that is formatted right for your consumers device and for that to work you need to pass through an unhampered “User Agent”.
