Proxy Rules Example—Routing Requests by Device Type

The example file proxyrules_example3.xml file routes SPS requests based on the type of device used to access the resource.

Note: The user-agent HTTP header value is used to determine how to route requests.

In the file, users who access resources using a browser (user agent contains Mozilla for Web browsers) are forwarded to a Web server, while all other users are forwarded to a wireless server.

The following table illustrates the results of requests using the proxy rules based on a device type.

Requested URL

Forwarded URL

http://www.company.com/index.html

User access resource via a Web browser.

http://home.company.com/index.html

http://www.company.com/index.wml

User access resource via a wireless device.
