Ok, define a content type application/x-exec that returns some data for
you to deal with. This doesn't require *ANY* changes to the browser and
at some point down the road you will be able to authenticate the data
instead of being forced to trust just anyone. Same effect, much more
flexible, and it doesn't clutter the URL space.
