You can do it in the server sending an extra parameter:

1. using transport.parameterMap)
2. using transport.read.data

or you can do it in the client (browser) defining:

1. transport.read as a function that load the data (likely via ajax).
2. transport.read.url function that calculates the URL of one or the other service.
