doReadRequest

Description

Performs the compound request accumulated in the read-requests queue. If the site does not already have read access, the user will be prompted with a list of attributes requested and can choose to allow or deny access.

Syntax

navigator.userProfile.doReadRequest(usageCode [, friendlyName [, domain [, path [, expiration]]]])

ParameterDescription
usageCode Notification for the user of the type of access requested. This usage code should be one of the 13 codes (listed below) defined by the Internet Privacy Working Group (IPWG).
friendlyName Optional. "Friendly name" of the party requesting access to private information. For security reasons, it is not enough for the user agent to display this friendly name to the end user. In addition to this friendly name, it is essential to display the URL that originates the script requesting profile access. If this script originates from a secure connection (for example, SSL), the SSL certificate can also be used to reliably identify the party requesting access.
domain and path Optional. Which pages the user's choice will apply to in the future, in addition to the current one; the specification follows the cookie standard (RFC-2109 http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc2109.html).
expiration Optional. How long the site is requesting access to these attributes. This is currently ignored by Internet Explorer.

Return Value
