The earliest hook that is passed the socket is create_connection. The socket is passed in the third argument. Use apr_os_sock_get to get the OS-specific socket descriptor. If you do not place your own callback on the create_connection hook in order to save the socket in your own structures, then you can use the method below, but it's a hack, as I guess the core_module structure is not supposed to be visible to modules. The method works after the pre_connection hook. #define CORE_PRIVATE 1 #include <http_core.h> apr_socket_t *sock = (apr_socket_t *)ap_get_module_config(r->connection->conn_config, &core_module); apr_os_sock_t fd; // int for Unix apr_os_sock_get(&fd, sock); #undef CORE_PRIVATE > > Thanks again, > Tony > >
