Trouble with Safe Web HTML Verification? Try Setting Permissions. Works.

I have had lots of issues over the years trying to add my websites to Norton Safe Web.  Usually posting or emailing for help has worked out.  But, I could never get the uploaded HTML page to verify after I tried to submit it.  I think I finally found the solution.

 

In doing some in-depth research yesterday regarding this issue, I found a little bit of info which might be helpful to others. 


The reason the uploaded page does not instantly show as verified is due to an issue with the PERMISSIONS setting on the page. 

Sure enough, I just added another site this morning, and noticed that the uploaded html page from Norton has no permissions set.  So before I clicked on the "submitted" link, I set the permission to 604. There was no problem get an instant verification.

 

Hope this helps other web developers out there.
