jsonp for client side javascript dashboard

[ianheggie]

Anyone have comments on adding jsonp (triggered by callback=function_name param)? It would allow you to have a javascript driven client side dashboard, but I am not sure if anyone cares.

I am having a play, but setting Content-Type to application/javascript is proving messy (different ways to do it even just between 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 5.0 versions) - I am interested in feedback as to what others think - worth the effort or not? Will anyone use it?

The only scenario I can see that colourful html doesn't answer would be to have a dashboard that not only shows status but tries to give advice on how to remedy the problem and/or hide the servers that are working and only show the ones that are failing. Or someone that wants a status dashboard that is pretty for non technical clients.
