sounds good! This is what I disired in this mail point 1.2)
I have some more ideas in mind which I need to put into code or a
description...:
...this hopefully let me abstract the server code a lot more,
here some goals I have in mind:
1.) have a full async protocol stacking
1.1) that means we have a 'service_context' for each listen socket
and attach a 'protocol_ops' struct to it which known the
first protocol on top of tcp.
1.2) for each connection to a 'service' we got an
'connection_context' which holds a read and write buffer for
the connection socket(s)(we'll handle the read and write fd's
seperate because this will us easy allow us to communicate over
the stdin and stdout fd's).
1.3) each subprotocol send's its data directly (this is non-blocking)
to it's parent protocol, till it's in the connection_context's
write buffer.
1.4) the connection_context's write fd event's write_handler will
then send the data to the socket.
