that sounds like something i'd like to have in the webserver config, 
i.e. apache or nginx where i would set some sort of headers (just like 
in the vhm example)

i'm new to this, but my gut feeling would be to keep all this sort of 
fancy, regex-based rewriting stuff in one place (i.e. the webserver 
config) and to use 'straightforward' tests for defined flags or headers 
within the wsgi pipeline.

just my $0.02,
