I would be interested in hearing of any bugs you have experienced with
i-MIMIC.
i-MIMIC does send the P209is user agent so should pass muster with sites
that detects DoCoMo user agents. i-MIMIC does not mask its IP address so if
a site is also detecting the reverse DNS of the i-mode gateway, i-MIMIC will
fail to be detected as an i-mode device.
While it is possible to mimic an i-mode gateway I felt that doing so would
be a little too sneaky for this kind of tool.
i-MIMIC feedback, bug reports or feature requests can be sent direct to me
at kyle@X-9.com

Keitai Gurus,
I'm trying to get to some i-mode sites by way of my desktop PC, so that I
can grab screen shots for a survey I am doing. I'm not
trying to go to any pay sites or cheat the system in any way.
For most sites, this works just fine. They have an index.html or an asp or
php page or whatever, and I can see it on my desktop
without any trouble. But some of them - and of course, the ones I really
want to see - give me a polite message saying "this is an
i-mode page, so you can't look at it on your computer".
I have some ideas about how it is that they can tell I'm not coming to them
from a phone, but I'm not totally sure of the methods
and I don't want to venture any guesses here that will simply highlight my
technical ignorance. All I'd really like to know is if
anyone can suggest a way that I might convince these sites into thinking
that my PC is an i-mode phone. I've tried the emulator at
X-9.com, and the Java based emulator from Zentek, and neither of those
panned out.
Or, if anyone could suggest a way of getting screen shots from my i-mode
phone without putting it in front of my digital camera (my
last resort), that would also work for me.
Any suggestions?
Dave
