There is an update to the P3P deployment guide which covers the problem you're hitting. Specifically, the <meta http-equiv ...> mechanism won't work with most servers. Unless the server scans the HTML and converts those <meta> tags into HTTP headers, then IE6 won't see the compact policy in time for the cookie decision-making process. For more information, see section 2.4.2 of this version of the guide: (See attached file: ServerGuide.html) This is a restriction of the compact policy mechanism: if you can't set HTTP headers, you can't send compact policies. -- Martin Martin Presler-Marshall - Program Manager, Privacy Technology E-mail: mpresler@us.ibm.com AIM: jhreingold Phone: (919) 254-7819 (tie-line 444-7819) Fax: (919) 254-6430 (tie-line 444-6430)
