---------------------------------------
Hi [~jking], Jens has already told me that THeader can be used for customers'
options. And I proposed TExtendedBinaryProtocol before I knew THeader.
It seems that my old description is a litter bit confusing and makes you think
what I want is security functionalities. So I just explain my solution more
precisely.
Thanks.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3979
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Story
> Components: Wish List
> Affects Versions: 0.9.3
> Reporter: Xiaoshuang LU
>
> Sometimes, customers wanna put some options (whatever customers want) in each
> request and response. And these options ought to be transparent for
> applications.
> Unfortunately, thrift protocol does not have good extensibility for extra
> functionalities. I would like to propose the following solution to address
> this issue.
> 1. TMessage adds a new field called "options"
> 2. customers set "options"
> 3. TExtendedBinaryProtocol writes "options" when "writeMessageBegin" invoked
> 4. TExtendedBinaryProtocol reads "options" when "readMessageBegin" invoked
