Paul Lindner commented on SHINDIG-606:
--------------------------------------
At hi5 we supported this. Clients could send the st value as a cookie (known
as Hi5AuthToken).
We could easily support this or another header seamlessly.
> Move security token to header for XMLHttpRequests?

>
> It seems slightly more secure if the security token were put into an HTTP
> header instead of in the URL when making requests back to the server from
> gadgets. This way the token is not normally logged by proxies, etc.
> We'd still probably support the URL parameter for debugging purposes.
> I'm not a security expert, possibly others with more experience can weigh in
> on how important this is.
