Far as I can tell this is strictly a qpid::messenger client thing. It
won't work with proton.Messenger or the proton engine directly. I
thought you were using the proton engine directly so I am confused.
Are you also putting the address in the normal AMQP to: field? If so the
x-amqp-to is probably an unnecessary distraction. If not, I don't know
what I am talking about (would be curious to find out...)
