Incorrect Privacy Report Displayed for Redirected URI When Using METHOD Element
This article was previously published under Q306061
An incorrect privacy summary may be displayed for a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) when you click the
Summary button for that URI in the Privacy Report dialog box. The Privacy Report dialog box is displayed when you click
Privacy Report on the
View menu in Microsoft Internet Explorer or Windows Internet Explorer.
This problem can occur if a redirected URI that performs one method uses a different compact privacy policy than other methods. For example, if a Web site defines different P3P policies for POST methods than it does for GET requests and then does a redirect after a POST, the policy for the GET request is incorrectly displayed for the POST URI.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
The METHOD element allows a Web site to define different P3P policies depending on the method to be applied to a resource. For example, a site may want to collect more data from users when they are using a POST method than when using GET methods. For additional information about the P3P METHOD element, see the following W3.org Web site:

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
