[syslinux] Opinion wanted: metadata in HTTP requests (updated)

[H. Peter Anvin]

Okay, I have narrowed it down to two options:

1. Using HTTP cookies, in every request.  To avoid collision with other
    cookie uses, the cookie names would be prefixed with _Syslinux_ or
    some similar prefix although this adds overhead.

2. Using a GET query string, if and only if the http URL is of a
    special form, probably:

    http://example.com/something??

    ... i.e. ending in a double ?? which should not normally happen in a
    URL.

I would like to know if people have specific preferences between these 
alternatives.
