Hi, I've just pushed Arun's (mostly, Pierre-Louis also had a hand!) passthrough work to master. This carries with it a new dependency: json-c We may yet remove this and write our own parser for the simple subset of JSON formatting we use but there may ultimately be other reasons to keep this longer term. But in the interests of simplicity, I'd certainly not be against any native implementation patches that came along provided they were simple and clean. Please test these changes. I'm sure Arun will post more details and test requests in due course.
