  • The X-NOTIFY-OWNER is a request or response header? Commented Sep 2, 2015 at 13:24
  • It's a request header Commented Sep 2, 2015 at 14:49
  • To be honest, I still like the header solution the most. The parameter is specific to the request. Does anyone know any examples of other api's that do something similar? Commented Sep 3, 2015 at 9:27
  • So if you still like it, why change? You said that querystring parameters are for content filtering, so keep using it for content filtering. Using the X- header seems nice and clean to me, I doubt you can get anything more meaningful or easier than that. IMO, it makes sense to use the custom header for notifying the app of extra tasks it needs to do. Commented Sep 3, 2015 at 9:31
