Hi,

Much of my work with App Engine is on Facebook applications.  Facebook
acts as a proxy through which all requests flow. Every application
registers a callback URL that Facebook directs traffic at.  So for
instance

http://apps.facebook.com/my_application/foo

becomes

http://my_application.appspot.com/foo



One of my favorite GAE features is that I can access and test
different versions of my App Engine code.  Under most circumstances
the URL subdomain-based access (eg,
1.latest.my_application.appspot.com,
2.latest.my_application.appspot.com, etc) is very convenient, but this
convention doesn't fit well with Facebook's idea of the fixed callback
URL.  I can set up a dummy application to access the version of code
that I want, but this is A. kludgy and B. inconvenient because all of
the social context is absent in the dummy application (other friends
using the app, etc.)

I would very much like to be able to access different versions of my
code using a query parameter.  Then I could test my Facebook apps with
URLs like

http://apps.facebook.com/my_application/foo?APP_VERSION=2

which would be translated into

http://my_application.appspot.com/foo?APP_VERSION=2


I'm hoping something like this already possible.  If not, consider
this a feature request!  :)

Ben
