I'm working on a Fast CGI server for my ML models and would like to integrate supporting changes into dlib's networking module. One of these changes is supporting socket type AF_UNIX, so web servers like nginx can bypass the network stack when communicating with the fcgi server. Another is a listener factory method that can accept connections on a user-provided socket. In many fast cgi setups, the application is expected to listen on stdin (which is bounded to a socket), so the user-provided socket is helpful here.
I implemented the required changes for both posix and win32 including tests. However, I'm not sure how to test the new
create_listener_from_socketmethod. It would require platform specific code in the unit test.
