We've not had anyone ask for such functions or presented a valid use-case for
when such functions would indeed be needed. As lots of internals in libcurl
assume and only work with actual *sockets* I can't think of very many cases
where you want to provide your own functions to read or write from sockets.

Can you elaborate on your use case?

But no, I don't think it has to be very difficult to add such functions.
