connection handles

[Doug MacEachern <do...@opengroup.org>]

I need to get at the client RPC handle during authorization and a few
other places, but at the moment, I have to dig it out of the sfio
discipline like so:

static h_t *find_handle(request_rec *r)
{
    Sfdisc_t *disc = sfdisc(r->connection->client->sf_in, SF_POPDISC);
    h_t *h = ((wand_disc_t *)disc)->ch;
    sfdisc(r->connection->client->sf_in, disc);
    return h;
}

This is not ideal.  The directory and request config creation stuff
happens at the wrong place and time for the dce stuff to do this
right.  What would be ideal, with the tiny patch below, I can save a
pointer to the rpc handle right after bcreate(), then the routine I
can use later in the request stages looks like so:

static h_t *find_handle(request_rec *r)
{
    return ((h_t *)r->connection->client->t_handle);
}

If there's a way to do something like this already, I'd be happy to
hear it.

Isn't this specific to B_SFIO stuff ?  I'm not clear on what the
"transport handle" means ...
