Evan Gilbert reopened SHINDIG-606:
----------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Evan Gilbert)
We're still sending the long-lived token on the URL on XMLHttpRequests for
data. It would be easy to move this to a header and would improve security -
headers usually aren't logged.
> Move security token to header for XMLHttpRequests?

> Project: Shindig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java, PHP
> Reporter: Evan Gilbert
>
> 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.
