Opera adds a "m." - and then "error"

It seems like Opera mini for some sites adds a "m." before the original web address

For instance:
NewsPapers.com/news/sport/article1640625.ece
is modified to
m.np.com/news/sport/article1640625.ece
(this is a fictive example - the right danish address is ekstrabladet.dk/ferie/udland/article1640625.ece --> m.eb.dk/ferie/udland/article1640625.ece)

Then I have a error:

HTTP Status 404 -

type Status report

description The requested resource () is not available.
JBossWeb/2.0.1.GA

I cannot find out to stop Opera from automatically adding the ".m"
Any idea???

Confirmed using Opera Mobile 10.00(499)

Looks like they don't want you going there on a mobile device.

Thanks for the reply

Yes you can go there with a mobile devise - but not with Opera Mini cause - as I told - of the adding ".m"

So is there a way to turn that function off

I'm not using Mini, I'm using Opera Mobile.

Can you get there using your native browser, on your phone? It may be that they're browser sniffing, and purposely excluding Mini, or Opera? That wouldn't make sense...

Sorry. I can't answer your question.

Yes I can get there with my native browser

I am glad that you were trying answering my question

The cause of ALL these problems is the Mini's user agent. It is MOBILE, and it must be DESKTOP. I asked the developers several times, but no reply...

No, the problem is web developers thinking they know better than their users and forcibly redirecting you to mobile sites.

Just to be clear, that is being done by the site, not by Opera Mini. It's would be funny that they're redirecting to a non-existent page if it wasn't so annoying for users. Feel free to complain to ekstrabladet.dk.

But how can it be that the default browser does not add the ".m"?

Perhaps your default browser does not identify itself as a "mobile" browser.

My BB can self identify either mobile (my default), Firefox, or IE. From a bookmark, I can tell it which to choose for that particular site. But all links on pages or in email go with whatever default I choose.

Well I just uninstalled Opera --> finish with the trouble

Another unsatistfied user.

Nope, a human error is the trouble, as always. You see, the trouble doesn't exist on http://ekstrabladet.dk/ferie/udland/article1640625.ece if you 'check' the web layout on m.eb.dk site and fron time to time you must recheck that and mini transcoder will follow the last redirection (as m/web site).

So, another picnic(problem in chair, not in computer) error? Hmm... I get "could not find remote server" from your link, SAGRID. Not once, three times from two locations. Odd, no?

The fourth time, from yet another location, I get the original 404 .

more descriptive:
1. Open eb.dk address
2. Click on web layout, link from the footer 'Gå til websitet - klik her', redir to ekstrabladet.dk
3. Check the web url from this forum page.

Ah! Thanks!
