Apache does the right thing and ignores Microsoft's default Do Not Track setting for IE10

http://j.mp/RkTlxV  (Webmonkey)

   "Apache, the most common server on the web, is giving Microsoft's
    Internet Explorer 10 a privacy smackdown. A newly submitted patch
    tells Apache to ignore IE 10s controversial Do Not Track (DNT)
    settings."

  - - -

Summary: The Apache Web server is being patched to ignore IE10's
default enabling of Do Not Track -- a default that clearly violates
the Do Not Track standard.  I completely agree with Apache's stance on
this issue.
