Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

If you go to france.tv via smartphone you are redirected to https://mobile.france.tv.
(fixed the link, cf ymartin59)

The subdomain 'mobile' was missing in previous request, so it's missing in the modified regex 6d1ded7

Could you add it ?

Thanks.
