My situation:
We have a mobile version of our website, and want to start redirecting mobile users to it. The plan is to do this in Apache httpd.conf or .htaccess, using something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (iPhone|Blackberry|...)
RewriteRule (.*) mobile/$1
However we want there to be a way for users to override our default action of redirecting them. One way we thought to do it was to show a link on the mobile site directing back to the regular site, and store a cookie when they use that link.
Could the Apache configuration file check a cookie before redirecting?
Is there a better way?
