sry for double posting this to dev-apps-firefox. got a hint that this group 
would be the better group.

hi

i'm willing to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=836602

Summary: The rest api should not send cookies and thus now uses the
LOAD_ANONYMOUS flag. But this flag also denies (client side)
authentication like my custom firefox sync requires.
therefore firefox sync is broken for me since >= F18.

As suggested by rnewman i'm going to add more fine grain LOAD_
constants. (bug comment #13)

i'm planing to add 2 new constants:

const unsigned long LOAD_NOCOOKIES = 1 << 15;
.. just stop sending / accepting cookies at this request

const unsigned long LOAD_NOAUTH  = 1 << 16;
.. don't add authentification headers automatically

the second constant would be the fix for
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646686

Maybe i can get some input from the Gecko folks?
