I've observed (and expanded upon) a slightly naughty use case of apr_socket_t in the Ganglia code base
Specifically, Ganglia tries to get the raw socket and use it for a couple of things like getsockopt, as apr_getsockopt doesn't seem to work on older apr versions: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06179.html So we do this little trick, defining the struct in our own code: https://github.com/ganglia/monitor-core/blob/master/lib/apr_net.c#L20 More recently, I wanted to add optional TLS support to dynalogin. It also uses APR sockets. I repeated the same trick, but I'd prefer to find a more elegant solution than: https://github.com/dynalogin/dynalogin/blob/master/dynalogind/dynalogind.c#L429 (accessing socketdes) Can anyone comment on this? In particular, how to get the socket, or how to make TLS work with APR in some other way?
