I ran some of the questions that have been raised on this list about IE6 by one of the IE6 developers. Here are the answers.... Q: Can you get the privacy report if you access the web through a proxy? A: there is a known issue here. If the proxy requires authentication then the policy fetch will fail. This is because we do not support proxy authentication for policy retrieval. This is known issue and may be addressed in a future service pack release. Q: Will IE6 read compact policies from secure servers? A: If people use http set-cookie, and IE handles those headers then compact policies will be read as user preferences dictate. Thus if a user goes to https://site.com with default preferences then, yes, IE will process compact policies. Also note that a bug was found recently where the wrong privacy report is displayed when sites use the METHOD element in their PRF. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q306061 for details. If you find any reproducable instances of wrong IE6 behavior with respect to P3P, please post the details and the IE6 folks will look into them. Lorrie
