An apache request isn't a file, and has no file descriptor. If your library is designed to be usable in non-file applications, it'll offer some mechanism for plugging in your own I/O functions. If not, you could perhaps try some ugly hack: create some bucket of file-compatible type for it to write to. -- Nick Kew
