Description:
------------
libcurl has 6 callback options that are missing in PHP bindings, but give the user 
great control over the underlying socket:
- CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION
- CURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA
- CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION
- CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA
- CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION
- CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETDATA

Without support for these options, developers can't set socket bindings, options 
and marks on connections done via cURL.

That is a great limitation for serious network applications written in PHP. Here's 
one real example:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12080550/tproxy-with-libcurl-or-http-streams-
under-php

Full description of these options is available at:
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTSOCKOPTFUNCTION

what do you think? maybe expose some new constants?
 [2012-08-24 04:49 UTC] niki at gorchilov dot com 
Looked at PHP sources to find how the similar CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION has been 
implemented and here's my understanding:
- ext/curl/interface.c is the only file that needs modification
- Seems CURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA, CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA, CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETDATA 
cannot be exported to the end user, as PHP will need it internally to pass a 
context to the callback function. No a big deal IMHO.
- remaining three options - CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION, CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION, 
CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION shall be added in PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION, 
_php_curl_set_default_options and _php_curl_setopt.
- all the three callbacks shall be implemented using curl_write_header as a model.

Hope this helps.

I'll implement those feature in the master version of curl.

A first draft is available here https://github.com/adoy/php-src/commits/curlsock

Laruence if you have some time a code review would be appreciated :)

Are there any news about that? It's been a long time and the branch still is around. Could anybody please review it?

Is this still planned or abandoned ?
