What I 'think' you mean is, if the server somewhere detects a mobile device, it displays a 'mobile' web page rather than the page you'd get from a desktop browser. If that's the case, then it's possible this might work: System.setProperty("http.agent", ""); Which I found in this post on SO... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2529682/setting-user-agent-of-a-java-urlconnection What happens is, on the 'server' side, where there is nothing we can do about it (unless it's our server, I suppose) the webserver software 'detects' the kind of 'User-Agent' you're using, and places it in a session variable. If it or the PHP framework is prepared to handle those requests, then it obtains the user agent string from the session variable, and provides content according to how it thinks it should. So, if you want it to react like a desktop, you'll have to make it think it's talking to a desktop. Cheers! -- Smug Comments Interesting question.
