Yes, that would be nice. But how can I do that ? The problem here is that
libCurl uses directly "read/write" whereas I want it to call
"my_write_func()" and "my_read_func()". Is there a way to do that ?

I think Curl_write is a little to highlevel, because the HTTPS protocol is
done under this, right ?
I should aim at sread and swrite then... but also socket, connect.

The way to get a "SSH tunnel socket" is "libssh2_channel_something()", and
it returns a libssh2 socket. Then, there are functions like
libssh2_write()/read().

Thanks,
Jerome
