[Laszlo-dev] Re: For your review: Laszlo Database API spec

[Neil Mix]

To clarify: I was suggesting a custom HTTP header, perhaps  
implemented via the addRequestHeader method available as of Flash 6  
in the XML and LoadVars classes (whichever SOLO apps use under the  
covers).  Or maybe I'm not suggesting -- I'm not at all certain that  
a custom header is the best way to go, especially if this spec is  
intended for the widest possible platform/environment reach.  Just  
that it's one possibility.
