generic socket operations and SSL

Hi list,

I read with interest Gerd's blog post about supporting Ocamlnet on Windows:

  http://blog.camlcity.org/blog/ocamlnet3_win32.html

and in particular the description of generic read / write operations
on proxy file descriptors.

I wonder: does this open the possibility of supporting SSL sockets as
another fd_style? Then e.g. Nethttpd_kernel could be made SSL-capable.

I confess that I am a little bit confused by the Nethttpd_kernel in
the 3.0test1 release, since it uses the generic Netsys calls for some
things (e.g. in the lingering_close class) but Unix calls for others.
So it does not seem like it is ready to be used generically; although
perhaps this is not a design goal.

Thanks,

Jake
