    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-278?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13620979#comment-13620979 ] 

Ted Ross commented on PROTON-278:
---------------------------------

A second alternative is to provide a special "put" call that sets the reply-to and prepares any needed incoming links:

    pn_messenger_put_request(pn_messenger_t *messenger, pn_message_t *msg);

> Currently, messenger always sets the reply-to field in a sent message.
> This should be changed to allow the application to set the reply-to field only when a reply is desired.  Messenger should be changed to not unconditionally set this field.
> In order to set this field in the case of a client that has not established a subscription, the client needs to be able to query messenger for the proper value of the reply-to address.  A new api would need to be created for this.  Proposal:
> int pn_messenger_set_reply( pn_messenger_t *msgr,  pn_message_t *msg )
> Set the proper reply-to address in msg.  msg would need to have its "to" address configured in order for this method to succeed.
> At least, I think the value for the reply-to may depend on the 'to' address... I may be wrong about that....
> Opinions?
