Identify a way to pass req to remote service.

[SomeoneWeird]

Sometimes it's useful being able to access properties of the client request (ip, cookies etc) in the service doing the work.

There's a few ways I think this can be done, all of them breaking. Can't think of any that aren't.

The best one that I've come up with so far is (on the ht service side)

...
import hte from 'ht-express'
...

service.before(hte.handleRequests())

...

service.on('requiresCookies', s.Object({
  hte: hte.Request()
}, ...

Change the hte client to always send the req over the wire
The middleware can introspect the method that will be called, and check if it has a key called hte in it's schema, if not, it can remove it from the data and continue.

Downside is it will massively inflate the packet size of each request.

What requirements will this solution have in the HT component (i.e. does it require knowledge in vanilla hudson-taylor of what the ht-express component is doing?
