Could libURL be extended to allow users of it to customise the headers of
outgoing HTTP requests, and read the headers of incoming HTTP responses,
without losing the benefits of having the library (ie, without requiring
each developer to customise the library themselves).
A crude (but effective) solution would be to declare a couple of global
variables or properties; eg "gHTTPrequestExtraHeaders" and "gHTTPresponse".
Each call to "get URL xxx" would consult the first global, and set the
second. It might be up to the user to empty the gHTTPrequestExtraHeaders
after use, or libURL could empty it after each call.
No doubt more expert MC users could propose a more sophisticated syntax (eg
is it possible to make the URL support a syntax such as "get URL xx with
headers yy"?)
