ISSUE-151: User Agent Requirement: Be able to handle an exception request

Ninja Marnau

User Agent Requirement: Be able to handle an exception request

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Tracking Preference Expression (DNT)
Raised by:
Rigo Wenning
Opened on:
2012-06-06
Description:
There is software that in just a few lines of code just spawn DNT;1 or DNT;0 headers regardless of user's will. A requirement on the user agent that they can handle the full exception mechanism will allow to discard compliance statements by those agents. It will also allow also the site to test for conformance by requiring an exception. In case the UA does not react on an exception request, the server could ignore DNT signals from that UA. It would allow thus testing from the horizon of the site without wild guessing

CfO decision is to leave text as is, so no need for further review.
