A developer for a major scripting plugin informed me that its inability to provide such arcane and esoteric functions as specifying and querying header fields in plugin-sponsored HTTP transactions was inherited from limitations in the Mozilla plugin API, whose persistence to this day may be ascribed to "we've always done it this way" and "nobody ever got fired for copying Netscape". (Well, okay, and the installed base of existing plugins.) Parrot and its intended applications may call for a more intimate relationship with the Web browser, much like Javascript currently has.
