How would that work? Has the server a mechanism to check if DNT was set by default on the client/browser?
- tsimionescu 3y agoNo, the idea was exactly do prevent browsers from enabling DNT as the default. The spec would expect the server to check the User Agent and ignore the DNT header entirely if it comes from a user agent which is known to default it to true. Obviously, this was a ploy to gut the standard while still pretending to self-regulate.
