Package: p3p-spider
System name: p3p-spider
Type: 2

Description:
The project includes a web-spider which scans the web (partially)
for their p3p-policy and stores this infos in a database for later analysis. 
Planned is a java-program.

there are 3 Problems to solve:
- build and actualize a database with servernames/adresses
- query the servers for their p3p-policy and store the result
- analyze the result database

The web-scanning and querying can be done with the java networking classes but 
it must be done in a multithreaded manner.

For the databases we want to use a simple flat-file approach. So results can be 
appended to the files without loading them.

We, a german NGO working in the area of civil liberties and privacy rights, 
plan to conduct a focused study of certain web-site aspects.
