Desktop version no longer available on iPhone

I have been trying to reproduce this problem. There are two techniques on iPhone to show desktop version, One is built into Safari (inside the share menu) and the other is inside the mobile web itself. Each technique works differently. They both work now.
"Request Desktop Site" built into Safari works and loads the desktop site in that tab only. With this feature, there does not seem to be any way to return to the mobile version, you need to close the tab and open another tab to return to mobile. It is tab based, so if you click on some link which opens in a new tab, that tab will no longer be desktop mode.
There is also a link in our mobile web menu for "Desktop Version" . When you click this link, there is a "Return to Mobile" header to allow return to the mobile web. Also, if you click on some link which opens in a new tab, that tab will still be in desktop mode. This is implemented browser wide (via a cookie)
