You're failing to consider async applications. AFAICS, the *minimum* API would be read write read ready? write ready? get socket so I can use it in select() (very possibly there's some stuff I missed, considering I haven't consumed any caffeine yet today...). And that's just considering the data transport aspect of it. I'm still concerned that SSL-using apps may wish to twiddle the SSL library in ways we don't even know about. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
