I installed Mobile Tools and Browscap on my development site and when I try to have a mobile device going to dev.mysite.com redirect to m.mysite.com it just loops through the two and errors out.

It works fine when you go to m.mysite.com.

There was a similar problem in the 6.x version is there any idea if it is going to make it to the 7?

Thanks

I have the same problem, if you clear the cookies it works again for a bit, then stops once you try to switch sites

I have this problem when switching user agent using a plugin for Firefox.

It works on a real phone and the iPhone simulator though. Are you guys using Firefox or an actual mobile device?

The problem seems to persist. After switching over to desktop once (on an iPhone) I get into a redirect loop. Next time I visit the site, I start out in the loop.

This seems to have started since iOS 5. It doesn't happen happen in the iOS simulator that runs iOS 4.3.

I've found a solution.

If you're using a different domain for the mobile site (m.example.com), you need to specify the cookie domain in your settings.php file. Otherwise, the device cookie that is deleted when you use ?device=auto, will only be deleted for one of the domains.

Simply put, what you need to do:

  1. In your settings.php file, locate the line that says $cookie_domain = '.example.com';
  2. Uncomment the line and change it to your domain.

Hello, after having a bad experience with Mobile tools module + boost I followed this post http://drupal.org/node/1214890 and configured shared cookie domain but without success... "too many redirecting" error on Iphone.
Any suggestions?

Make sure you aren't using absolute urls. It appends the www to the front and throws the browser into a redirect loop. I disabled the relative to absolute filter and made sure the views were not using the site url and it resolved all my redirect problems.
