We are currently parsing finger responses from remote hosts into structs, in order to support things like table and json outputs from these hosts. But there are some cases where it's impossible to know exactly how it should be parsed. The daemon should be able to take an option from the client, requesting that the remote response not be parsed and just returned to the requester as is.
