I'll almost certainly have it only allowed in headers irregardless of the HTTP verb used. This does mean you won't be able to use your browser to test GET's, but this feature is squarely aimed at developers who will probably be using a Postman like tool to test with.

There is very probably a way to (ab)use HTTP Auth for this such that it's still possible to test GETs with simple URL strings or links in a browser.
