Bug #: 35842
Summary: MobileFrontend breaks frontend caching in some cases
Product: Wikimedia Mobile
Version: .5
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Generic
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The presence of a "useformat=desktop" cookie disables squid caching for the
regular site.
I think this has to do with the way X-V-O is implemented. And if caching
became possible when that cookie set, it would be varied upon and we'd have to
cache two desktop-format copies of every page (with useformat=desktop and
without.)
Instead of setting useformat=desktop, delete the cookie when switching to the
desktop view.
Then, a cookie that isn't used for varying needs to be set that's just used for
disabling the squid level mobile redirector, so set the old
stopMobileRedirect=true cookie at the same time. It's still in the squid
config so this can be fixed without ops involvement.
