mention the recent thoughts/progress I had

  I plan and hope to return to full-time hiper work later on this spring or

  possibly summer to continue where I pause now. Of course some spare time

  might also be spent until then to get us moving forward.

April 11, 2006

 While sitting staring on my screen trying to write up a *nice* sample script

 using libevent, it strikes me that since libevent is pretty much based around

 its structs that you setup for each event/file descriptor, my application

 wants to figure out the correct struct that is associted with the file

 descriptor that libcurl provides in the socket callback.

 This feels like an operation most applications will need when using the

 multi_socket API, so it feels like I should better try to figure out a decent

 way to offer this basic functionality already in libcurl - and the fact that

 we already have the file descriptors in a hash we can probably just as well

 extend it somewhat and store some custom pointers as well.

 We need to offer the app a way to set a private pointer to be associated with

 the particular file descriptor, and then be able to provide that pointer on

 subsequent callback calls.
