Hi monks :) I want to start developting mobile web aplication. I found 2 ways to recognize the mobile device and resize images.
They both are using WURFL database
One type is apache2 mobile filter , module for apache. It's contain few parts. For recognizing devices , for resizing images , for switching (with location headers) to mobile site or regular web site and others handy features.
The second is perl module that can put WURFL database to MYSQL database and search devices using device useragent. The resizing images part I can write within perl , it's not the problem.
I just want to understand , what advantages each way have.
I mean apache-module vs perl-module?
Thanks a lot
