Oh good. While I have you here, have you given any thought to a curl
handle that has two half-duplex file descriptors, rather than a single
full-duplex socket? That would let us tunnel over pipes rather than
worrying about the portability of socketpair().

I suspect it would be quite complicated, because I imagine that lots of
internal bits of curl assume there's a single descriptor.

Don't you land most of the fixes in curl? :)
