Don't you mean 'sendrequest' and 'receivereply' ? Or you really want  
to share information between 'sendrequest' (client-side) and  
'receiverequest' (server-side) ?

You're right. Currently, OiL does not provide the 'request_id' in  
'sendrequest', but I'm planning to correct that in the next version.

However, if you want to share information between a 'sendrequest' and  
a 'receivereply', you can use the 'request' table passed as an  
argument to these operations. They are the same table for each pair of  
'sendrequest' and 'receivereply' of a single invocation. You can  
either add fields to this table in 'sendrequest' and read them in  
'receivereply', or you can use this table as a unique key identifying  
the invocation (just like you were planning to use the 'request_id' if  
I understood you correctly). Does that work for you?
