@simonbs@mastodon.social it's fine for it to be an identifier, but usually combined with an authorization header (or pre-shared secret)
it's not that systems _can_ log headers too, it's that URLs are very commonly logged in their entirety. There's a general assumption that the url is fine to be logged.
Query string would help in this regard, but I still think auth header is the better approach.
I think what you suggest would work well. Existing users wouldn't have to change anything, but people could choose.

@bens@mastodon.xyz Agreed. brrr now supports sending the secret in the Authorization header. Thanks for your feedback! https://brrr.now/docs/#sending-the-key-in-the-authorization-header
