Github user pbchou commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/834 @jrushford -- I did consider something similar before going with the MIME header approach. I also considered extending the HttpRequestHeader with additional data elements. It seems that the findParent, etc. above occur in some places such as Socks.cc where Http Transactions are not normally in scope. Besides affecting the modularity to declare in those areas, I think that the header files and/or make files would need some work as well to get the includes to work.
