How to pass a complex CLR object returned by one EdgeJS call to the next EdgeJS call

Question

I have a C# library with a Login() method that returns an HttpClient which is to be used in subsequent calls (to get more pages after login). In a C# app I would make a Login() call, save the returned HttpClient and then make as many calls as I want for other pages.

Is that possible using edge in NodeJS? Is it possible to return a complex object (HttpClient) to NodeJs and then have NodeJS pass this object when making the next call?

It is definitely possible to pass complex objects from one js call to another.

You can return a javascript object from a function as well as "callback" a javascript function with the new object as a value in the callback's arguments.

E.G:

function hasCookie(req,callback){
    if(req.headers['cookie']){
        callback(req.headers.cookie,req);
    }
    return req;
}

You can even "chain" calls together, as long as the object in question supports the given methods.
