Are people using CURL library for storage traffic?
I'm sure people have used libcurl for just about any purpose that involves
network data transfers. I don't think "storage traffic" is much different than
a lot of other traffic, network and protocol wise I mean.
Can libcurl use scatter-gather buffers?
No.
Has this been considered before?
Not that I can recall, no. At least it hasn't ever gotten very far.
Since Socket layer provide iovec based interface, will it be a huge change
in the CURL library to expose it all the way to user?
Yes, it would be a pretty big change I'd say. And in lots of cases it still
couldn't be used, like when SSL, SSH or HTTP2 are involved... and possibly
some more cases.
