What is the cost/benefit of doing this via HTTP headers vs. query
string?

The HTTP headers way is implemented now. Damien said in another mail, that different options for this (per request, and db- and server-wide config)
are on lower priority right now, but they will definitely come:

Not sure I follow. This feature is already implemented? My question was about the per-request way of setting this option. Should it be done using HTTP headers
or should it be done using a query string option?

Heh, I mean: The advantage is that the header version doesn't have to be
implemented, it exists. The query-parameter version doesn't. This is not about
the usefulness of the query-param.

I'd say the header is "more correct" because we are describing request semantics, not content-options. But I see arguments for the query-parameter version as well.

Cheers
Jan
