Perhaps I wasn't clear.  The app currently checks for certain header 
parameters, along with some query parameters.  In order to be fully usable from 
JSONP script tags, I'll have to get it to work by using query parameters for 
what I'm currently using header parameters for.  As to a format of the query 
parameters, that doesn't particularly matter.  If it's more workable to have a 
bunch of former header parameters embedded into a single query parameter 
somehow, I suppose that could work, if there was some reason that was more 
convenient than individual query parameters.

Subject: Re: Handling "Accept" and "Accept-Language" in query parameters

Hi

Can you explain a bit more how it works. Do you have individual query 
parameters representing individual HTTP headers in this case ? Can you post a 
simple example ?

Cheers, Sergey

My CXF JAX-RS app currently looks at a couple of "standard" HTTP headers, being 
"Accept" and "Accept-Language".  It also uses a custom HTTP header.

It's come to my attention that we need to examine whether we can support being 
called from a "script" tag, to support JSONP callbacks.  This will not allow 
changing HTTP headers.  I can easily enough change my code to check for my 
custom header as a query parameter instead of an HTTP header, but the situation 
isn't as simple for "Accept" and "Accept-Language", which are processed 
implicitly by CXF.

Presently handling of "Accept" is done without any effort on my part, except 
for perhaps the "@Produces" annotation.  Handling of "Accept-Language" is done 
with almost as little effort, requiring me to call the 
"HttpHeaders.getAcceptableLanguages()" function.

What are some reasonable strategies for getting this information (and using it, 
more importantly) from request parameters instead?
