           Summary: Implementing the Javascript Interface for the Do Not
                    Track HTTP header
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: karl+webkit at la-grange.net


The Do Not Track HTTP header is a flag to give the possibility for users to advertise their preferences to not be tracked. The specification has been published as 1st WD already.

About http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-tracking-dnt-20111114/
Tracking Preference Expression (DNT)
W3C Working Draft 14 November 2011


Currently the proposed DOM Interface for this HTTP header is
http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-tracking-dnt-20111114/#js-dom

WebIDL
[NoInterfaceObject]
interface NavigatorDoNotTrack {

    readonly attribute DOMString doNotTrack;
};

The specification might need to be changed. 

Note that Mozilla has a feature documented differently.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/navigator.doNotTrack
but no real bugs opened for it 
the closest is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630357

And IE supports document.navigator.doNotTrack
