I don't know why I got interested in this thread...
I suppose you don't need a change to the wire protocol if
you have, logically, something like below. The API has
to be changed, however.
id = do_a_connedtion(arg)
set_comment_on_connection(id, "this_is_my_comment")
// later
some_array = get_connection_comments()
// parse the array comments
// do something or other as function of comment
Question: Why, again, do you want this? You
must see some utility in this other than academic
interest, or taking statistics, or mischief,
such as munging some field returning data
to a Windows client with "Screw Bill Gates"
prepended to his blob requests, or kicking
off connections to, say, any client in
Tana Tuva.
For readers like me, sitting on the sidelines,
the "need" for this facility is obscure. Please
make your case more evident.
