Proxy using splice

[da-tai]

Using net package, you can make a proxy using splice with io.Copy. Is that possible with gnet , or is there a faster way to doit with gnet?

go io.Copy(remote, conn)
io.Copy(conn, cs.remote)

It is not currently supported in gnet yet.

Any plans to do it soon or any other way to utilize something similar with gnet in the meantime.

This would be a long-term plan if I decide to do it because the current API design of gnet is not quite compatible with the splice syscall, you see, gnet doesn't expose any file descriptor to users, which makes it hard to support splice.

I may add a new proxy feature to gnet in the future only for some scenarios like yours: building a proxy server on top of gnet.

As for the alternative, I'm afraid there is no such kind of thing in gnet for now.
