texte = Hi Gary It has certainly made for an interesting journey and has only fed fuel to the fire for burning mr gates at the stake... seems a lot of people have ended up getting caught out when they have had systems running for years and then IE 6 came along and they all died... nice warning huh? Maybe me and Donovan can get together and write something for the interactive docs about it so anyone in future that is going to use cookies will be made aware of the issues (lets get the festives out the way first... P3P hurt my head). To be honest I am still a little grey on the whole thing after several p3p policies going into place and being removed and posting to https instead of http because the policy believes that the info you have specified *should* go under a secure protocol. I can see the upsides of this but I now have an effogy of Bill waiting for anyone who wants to join in ;-) Cheers Alan Gary Krockover wrote: > Hey D, > > I have a few cookie based sites and I have not had an issue reported > to me as of yet - probably because I don't have an exclusively cookie > based shopping cart on any of those sites - however a "summary" of > Alan's posts might make a good readme file - seemed that there was a > lot of information passed there. > > Gary > > At 11:03 AM 12/23/2004, you wrote: > >> Hello, I don't have any time right now but I wanted to >> make a quick post about this. >> >> If any of you administer dynamic sites run into IE6 >> issues, especially those that set cookies or collect info, it >> is probably related to P3P.
