"Do Not Track"

[Graycode]

The implementation boils down to one new HTTP header sent to the server.

Code:

DNT: 1

If the header exists, the value can only be 1 or 0. If a third-party server supports it, then that server "SHOULD" echo that same header in its HTTP response.

As long as your Proxo doesn't mess with the new DNT: header then no change should be needed to support Do-Not-Track. Or of course you could forge / manipulate that header with Proxo to overwrite a choice made in the browser, or to supply your own preference when there wasn't a choice made and the header isn't provided.

As a side note, it will be possible for scripts to query the setting of a Do-Not-Track choice using something like: window.navigator.NavigatorDoNotTrack
