Hi Community!

I'm building a mobile website and I've validate it with ready.mobi. Since yesterday there is a Fail named "No Transform", but I've nothing changed in the page when the Fail appeared.

Is it a new Feature?

This is a new test we've added to help raise awareness of the 'No-Transform' directive that you can include in your cache-control header. Including such a directive on a mobile site is a good idea since it indicates to proxies and transcoders that your site should not be modified for mobile since it is already a made for mobile site.

Note also that there is no score loss for not passing this test. We indicate this by assigning a 'COMMENT' as the result of this test when a 'No-Transform' is not detected.

Hope this helps!

Please see this post which outlines some of the other changes to the mobiReady service.

Actually, it shows a red dot, and adds to the "Fails" count in the Test Summary.
Also, I can't seem to get it to recognize my no-transform. Here's the start of my page:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//OMA//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.2//EN"
 "http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile12.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-transform" />
<base href="http://www.mycompany.com:8080/mobi/" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/mobistyle.css" />
<title>

I tried both "No-Transform" and "no-transform". Suggestions?

It shouldn't be giving you a fail in any case. We'll look into it. Can you post the URL?

It's NDA-restricted. I'll set up a test app/page & post that ASAP.

Oh, BTW, I noticed that if you do a test through "markup test", the no-transform flag is a comment, but using "page test" with a URL, it counts as a fail.

I still can't replicate this... test page would be a big help :-)

Thank you for this post. I've been running in circles trying to get the no-transform to pass and have had no luck. Greatly looking forward to the response.

Here is a link to one of my sites no-transform. I believe I have the syntax correct but it continues to fail validation.

This is the same problem I've been having with my site, I keep getting a 'Fail' on the 'no-transform' test. I believe I have the syntax correct, so looking forward to the reply. Dan

Apologies for the delay here - still working on this. Should hopefully have something to remove those red blemishes from your scores and make you all happy a little bit later today :-)

I too am getting a comment warning that says

Quote:
A no-transform directive was not detected
By including a no-transform directive in your Cache-Control header, you are indicating to proxies and transcoders that they should NOT modify your content. This is important where you have designed a mobile site, and you do not want a proxy or transcoder to modify it.

Before I had a cache warning that I fixed with this
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="max-age=200" />
My question is where do I place the no-transform without effecting the caching warning
