As i-mode requests are normal HTTP requests you might get to some sites
directly, but to other sites only by sending an HTTP request header that
the service can identify as coming from a phone, e.g. something like
GET /index.html HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: <special text whatever phone/browser you have>
(...)
Actually, I just recently stumbled over a site that displays the HTTP
headers that your phone sent to it. Lets see... it was
http://yourmode.net/ (go to services, phone tester, http-header). You
need to check this i-mode site out with a phone you borrow from someone
and find out what user agent setting it has.
You still need a way to send such a request from an emulator or at least
a web browser...
K-9-team, it might be a good idea to allow the K-9 emulator to be
configured to use one or the other set of HTTP headers in its requests
to backend servers?
This will only do for unofficial sites I believe.
