Also since there is no reason AFAIK that what you are attempting shouldn't work in your debugging make extra sure that the apache hook you are using is actually being called in your test requests, and that understand the order that hooks are called in - for example if set up the socket in one hook then expect to use in another - make sure that the socket isn't NULL or worse set to a random memory value in the second call. Also you can use a lot of ap_log_rerror entries in your code to help in debugging.
