There's no C-level structure that's passed directly from client to
server.  You will need to fit the data that you want to pass into the
protocol somewhere, and exactly where will depend on what you're trying
to pass.

Do you need the parameters pre-authentication?  In that case you might
want to create a custom auth method.  Is the parameter data keyword-value
pairs?  You might be able to pass the parameters in environment variable
requests.  Otherwise, you might need a custom channel request type.
It depends on exactly what you're trying to do.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
