Actually, I want socketpair(2). pipe(2) was what I used before

Umm, you want pipe(2), not socketpair(2).

What I did was implement an 'exec'
portal.conf then you can see how
this can be used to open a socket via a pathname. Operations on the
socket are then make using write(2) etc.
I don't really think that portalfs is the right thing to use to build
an httpfs with, but I would like to see how you managed to get your example
to work. Ar
I'd say it would be an excellent example of how to use portals if
nothing else, given that almost nobody understands them. :)

A few of us were talking on IRC tonight about how cool it would be to
have an httpfs filesystem -- then it occurred to me we almost have
this already, in the form of the (under-utilised) portalfs. Portalfs
works by handing off everything to a userland daemon which handles the
actual transaction
