Hi Spyne people

I am implementing a transport which returns a PNG image in a multi protocol application which can also return e.g. JSON data. I would like to be able to pass in some plotting parameters (e.g. size of returned png file) which I need in "create_out_string" in my png protocol. But these parameters should not be passed to the service methods (since they are only used by the protocol).

Can I strip them out/make a custom call to the service methods without them? Where is it appropriate to do this? And can I store them somewhere (probably in the context object) for use in the "create_out_string" method?

Thanks,
Jesper
