This reminds me of an idea we had some time ago: If there is a real user base for OpenSSH/Cygwin on Windows, we should support it directly. IIRC, Cygwin's way of emulating Unix Domain sockets is similar to the way we do it with GnuPG but different in detail. Now with the socket redirect features (see https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/msg6568 ) we have a mechanism in place which should allow us to support different types of socket emulation. Right now the socket emulation is an ad-hoc thing but the plan is to make it similar to the redirect feature and thus libassuan would be able to detect whether the GnuPG emulation scheme is in use or a foreign (Cygwin) one. Shall we open a feature request for this? Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
