Re: Well-known URI vs response headers? [ISSUE-81, ISSUE-47, ISSUE-80]

Hi Karl,


thanks for your question.

Two use cases as examples (one for headers and one for well-known uri):

 A) A site (1st or 3rd party) accepts DNT and will follow
    the standards compliance document for all received DNT headers

In this case, a well-known URI that says (machine-readable) "I accept
and follow DNT" for this site is sufficient.

 B) A site accepts and follows DNT for requests to URIs at
       [site]/main/*
    but does not accept DNT for requests to URIs at
       [site]/beacons/*

In this case, a well-known URI would not be easily able to provide the
right feedback. This may, e.g., be the case for sites that want to say
"if I am first party, I follow DNT" while also saying "for my beacons,
I do not".


Regards,
 matthias
