Hi !

I just read (in the German c't magazin) that the current way of
identifying whether a server is allowed to retrieve a cookie might
inflict privacy. The method of just considering the top-level domain the
next domain (.microsoft.com) fails with servers in domains like .com.tw.

Just wanted to mention that so that kfm/konqueror could be the first
browser to have this bug fixed :) The rules would have to be strictened
for top-level domains other than .com, .org, .edu etc.

They said that more info can be found on

http://onlineprivacy.com/cookiebug/

but I can't find anything there :(

Harri.
