Hi All

I have a urgent and serious issue. The Facebook like scraper with user agent: "facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+http://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php)"

This is being picked up as  MOBI device and redirecting to MOBI when users "Like" the page.

1) How do I fix this?
2) Is there somewhere to specify this useragent is not a mobi device?

Regards,

S

Hi,

Thanks for your question. Do you know what version of the data you are using? I have tried the useragent you have given with our latest data and it appears to be a non mobile, here.

You can download the latest data from Codeplex. Does this help your problem?

Thanks,
Tom

The Facebook crawler was added in a recent update, you will need the new data file before it will be identified properly.

You can download the latest data file from here, you should place it into your website's App_Data folder. Then modify your web.config to contain this line in the <fiftyOne> element (there will probably already be a line like it commented out).

<detection name="data" binaryFilePath="~/App_Data/51Degrees.mobi-Lite-2012.01.18.dat" enabled="true" />

You may then need to restart your site's AppPool.

I hope this helps,
Tom
