doReadRequest(usageCode

friendlyName
[,
domain
[, path
[,
expiration
]]]])
Based on the items in the queue, this method inspects the browser to
see whether the user has given permission to inspect these attributes
in the past. If not (for some or all), the method displays a dialog
box (the Profile Assistant window) that lets users turn off the items
that should not be exposed to the server. Parameters provide
information for the dialog and for maintenance of the permission
(similar to the ways that cookies are managed). Only one
doReadRequest( )
method is required, regardless of
the number of attributes in the queue.
Returned Value
In Win32, the method returns no value, regardless of how the user
responds to the Profile Assistant dialog box. On the Macintosh
(which does not support this object fully), the method does not
display the Profile Assistant dialog box and returns
false
.
