Description

Consider the following code using the Thrift example types.

serialize.js

var thrift = require('thrift');
var test_types = require('gen-nodejs/ThriftTest_types.js');

var bonk = new test_types.Bonk({message: "message", type: 6})
var t_out = new thrift.TBufferedTransport();
var p_out = new thrift.TJSONProtocol(t_out);
bonk.write(p_out);
var out
t_out.flush(function (b) { out = b;});
console.log(out)

My expectation would be for out to contain the serialized Bonk struct.
But due to TJSONProtocol only writing to the underlying transport in writeMessageEnd the above code does not work.
