When surfing using Mobile Explorer I have found a problem on the C600 that
only appears when accessing MS IIS hosted web sites so that I get a 406 error.
I finally tracked it down to this:
Using IIS the HTTP_ACCEPT header server variable received from the client
appears to have a hard coded limit of 259 characters. This is causing
problems when using a Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone which has a longer string
than 259 characters which is getting truncated. The phone then receives a 406
error saying that e.g. HTML content is not acceptable. I can hack the
registry on my phone to change the HTTP ACCEPT setting to use */* instead of
the great big long string that's in there but I would rather there was a fix
in IIS to get round this limit so that my site can be used by others with
this type of phone. Is there a patch or a hotfix or a service pack level I
should know about?
