So as far as separation between WebKit and WebCore... is there a lower level API that would be a more appropriate place for me to modify the request headers?  Disclaimer: that might be a dumb question as I don't understand what WebCore is ;)

Although I certainly appreciate wanting to keep the architecture layers cleanly separated, I'll admit this is pretty confusing and inconsistent from the perspective of a developer learning the WebKitGtk API... headers are modified for say an <img> src, but not for <video> and <audio>?  For the longest time I thought there was a weird bug in my code or in CouchDB.

While this use case is uncommon now, we aim to make it quite common, and I think it's going to be something that a lot of great UI designers will really go crazy for:

And we want GStreamer to be front and center here as having an industrial strength multimedia backend at your fingertips makes things far more interesting.  Anyway, food for thought.

Thanks!
