Subject: Re: Passing sockets with "givedescriptor()" (across user profiles)
I did use this in the past:
givedescriptor(pHttp->pSsl->fd , JobDs.Internal_Job_Identifier);
Somewhere else in this thread says it is a bad idea.
Does anyone have an idea why it is such a bad idea?

"verification-server" program run under owner authority.
And it actually works!
At least under V6. Of course, that's no guarantee that somebody trying
to make life as difficult as possible for those still using
givedescriptor/takedescriptor hasn't deliberately broken this in V7,
but at least I have proof-of-concept.
