(gd for gss descruptor :-)\n\ngd.send(xyz)\nresp = gd.recv()\n```\n\nThen gd.send() and gd.recv() would send/receive encrypted message\ntransparently. It would be great if this allowed someone to build an\ninterface that can transparently switch between a raw TCP (or whatever)\nsocket and a GSSAPI protected socket by simply passing on or the other\nfd in python so that it becomes completely transparent to the rest of\nthe app.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/DirectXMan12","@type":"Person","name":"DirectXMan12"},"datePublished":"2013-07-18T18:43:50.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/19/python-gssapi/issues/19"}
