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.
