So far, all textures in OpenSim are stored and served as jp2. However,
some viewers can't use jp2. Example: Unity3d, for the time being. I
would like to improve the GetTexture cap service by adding the ability
for it to make conversions on the fly depending on extra data provided
by the caller.
Personally I prefer neither. Doing format conversions on the client
(rather than the server where the overhead affects all the users) seems
more appropriate to me. IMO standardizing on a single format from the
server and then letting the client do a format conversion where thats
necessary is the better solution. Alternatively you could push the
conversion off to a separate service. But again, that implies the core
code doesn't need to address it.
Just my 2 cents.

There are two ways of doing this. Which one do people prefer?
A) Add an extra query parameter:
http://foo.com/GetTexture/?texture_id=<uuid>&format=<format>
B) Use the Accept and Content-Type headers appropriately.
The request might have
Accept: image/png, image/jp2
And the response might have
Content-Type: image/png
