Description

Would it be possible to publicly expose the self._invocations dictionary (https://github.com/crossbario/autobahn-python/blob/2e94d12c176eb34e74c788ceb4ada0b7bef916f6/autobahn/wamp/protocol.py#L356) in the WAMP protocol? For background, we want to be able to wait on all pending incoming requests to complete when we are shutting down a WAMP session. Alternatively, if there is a way to guarantee that the incoming requests are completed before disconnecting, that would work too.

Research direction

Start with autobahn/wamp/protocol.py at the referenced self._invocations dictionary and trace how incoming requests and WAMP session disconnection are handled. Determine whether exposing pending invocations or guaranteeing their completion before disconnecting meets the shutdown requirement, then verify the chosen behavior with the relevant protocol tests.
