Message routing determines the destinations of messages. It does not 
deliver the messages to these destinations, nor can it alter the messages.

Take a look at the signature of exchange:route/2:

route(rabbit_types:exchange(), rabbit_types:delivery()) ->
         rabbit_router:match_result()

where

rabbit_router:match_result() :: [rabbit_types:binding_destination()]

rabbit_types:binding_destination() ::
         rabbit_amqqueue:name() | rabbit_exchange:name()

i.e. route/2 returns a list of exchanges and queues.


So what you are trying to do simply cannot be done.

Matthias.
