[Rabbit-dev] mobile website transcoding proxy

[Luis Soltero]

hello Robo,

i believe the best approach is to allow www.xyz.com to figure out.   This way the user doesn't need to know which
website to enter into the url address to get the mobile website.

i just did a bit of research and found this
http://whatheaders.com/data/

its amazing how many different http header types there are. Anyway, the mobile headers can be ignored since they are
already correct. The trick will be to take the non mobile headers and map them to a correspondingly similar mobile http
header.

souldn't be too difficult to do. 

Let me look through the xml file from whatheaders and come up with a mapping that makes sense.
