Hi,
I have been reading up on the issue with two letter domains in two letter ccTLD and IE. See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2009/09/19/private-domain-names-and-public-suffixes-in-internet-explorer.aspx. We are the (un)lucky owners of the domain eg.dk which we cannot add to the list of trusted sites in IE since it is not in the list res://urlmon.dll/ietldlist.xml.
My first question is - who do I contact to get my domain added to the list.
My second question is (maybe more of a rant) - when will IE change this behaviour and get in sync with reality outside the US? Most ccTLDs do not use public suffixes, or if they do they also allow private first level domains. In Denmark, every single company or person that owns a two letter domain have to contact Microsoft and have them put the domain in the list if they want to be able to use cookies on their websites or add their domains to the list of trusted sites in IE.
Mozilla and Chrome uses the list at http://publicsuffix.org which has a complete listing of what ccTLDs uses public suffixes and which! Why does the IE developers choose to implement their own list which is completely out of sync with reality?
Sorry about the steam-venting, but this has been quite a problem for us!
