meteor

I'm working on an application that relies on data that the browser sends within the HTTP headers (and there's no way around this). This also happens to be my first time working with something node.js based, so it's very likely I'm completely missing something simple!

Basically what I want to be able to do is call a method on the server from the client, and in that method read the HTTP headers that the client sent.
