At least in most cases.
The hard part is to figure out if it is a separate website or
if the server does some magic (many swedish sites have www.xyz.se 
for the full site and mobil.xyz.se for the mobile site). Some
sites sniffs the request / user agent or so and let www.xyz.com 
figure it out.

You can easily change the request headers in a HttpFilter. There
is no current filter made that do what you want, mostly because I
have not wanted to do it.

I can probably write such a filter in less than one hour if you can
give me a spec on how it should work (that is what headers to change
and how to change them), sniff your network traffic to figure it out.
