Request/Reply feature with fanout exchanges

[manixx]

Hey!

I want to build a Scatter Gather pattern with rabbitmq and was wondering if the Request/Reply pattern also works with a fanout exchanges.

In short: A message is sent via request() to a fanout exchange and the callback should get the answer off all replies.
I checked the source and i saw that the message itself contains the sequence_end: false but im not able to override this inside the reply function:

msg.reply({ from: node }, { headers: { sequence_end: false }});

I'm aware that this would break the mechanism itself and there are additional steps required to get this working (make the HTTP API call to get the current bindings of the exchange).

Another approach would be to implement the whole pattern with custom queues and not using the Request/Reply functions, but I was wondering if this is possible.

Awesome module btw, thanks!

@manixx - I've just added this feature for you. You can read the new docs here.

I hope to cut a release soon that includes this and a few other items.
