Getting your P3P Policy to show up in IE6 Summary

Hi all,

Ive been reading through the info on P3P from the forums here, and thought I'd take some time to play around and see if I could make my site P3P compliant. After creating the necessary files, I included the files in my directory and had them validated by the P3P Validator. The only thing is my server doesnt support mod_headers, so I used the meta tags "http equiv"

Now, when I surf to my site in IE6 and click on the "Privacy report--->Summary" IE6 tells me it cant find the privacy policy on the site.

Hmm, did I miss something? Or is it because Im not using the HTTP headers for P3P?

Any help appreciated :-)

I had to go all out mod rewrite to become compliant.
Sorry.

Well, the way I have mine is:

This following tag is in the <head>

<link rel="P3Pv1" href="http://your_domain.com/w3c/p3p.xml">

Which points to a root level directory named w3c where I have the actual policy named policy1.xml

I also have another file in the w3c directory that helps IE find the policy, named p3p.xml which contains the following:

- <META xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/12/P3Pv1">
- <POLICY-REFERENCES>
- <POLICY-REF about="/w3c/policy1.xml">
<INCLUDE>/</INCLUDE>
<EXCLUDE>/sevlet/unknown</EXCLUDE>
</POLICY-REF>
</POLICY-REFERENCES>
</META>

This seems to work fine, but I set this up last September when all this first started so I'm sure there are additional methods by now.

Turns out I was compliant after all, something in my htacess mod_rewrite as blocking IE6 from being able to access the p3p.xml file. Weird....I need t find out which line it is so i can delete it :D
