Hi,

I'm using the socket stream and it seems to work just great for me, but with
the stream_socket functions some original socket features seem lost. Is
there any way to work around this? Maybe there is need for a
stream_socket_set_option function? I personally bumped into this lack of
features when I wanted to set my listen queue length on a socket-stream
server. How can this be done? And if this is simply impossible, could anyone
tell me what this default new queue length is?

Thank you,

Ron

The listen(2) backlog?  It defaults to 5, and there is no way to alter
this, yet.

Exposing more lower level features is a TODO item; you're welcome to
suggest which ones you need.

IIRC, quite a few OSs also ignore whatever you pass to listen()

If that's the case (actually, if it's the case for Linux which I personally
only care about), then I guess I won't miss it :) I was thinking maybe a
stream_socket_set_option() would be nice, but I personally only used it to
for SO_REUSEADDR, which seems to be default behaviour for a socket stream
now anyway.
