Re: [libmicrohttpd] Cleanup callback isn't called

[Christian Grothoff]

As I've explained on the list before, not setting that option is virtually 
always a bad idea (especially since depending on the OS, you may still get a 
V6-only bind anyway).  Now, if you really know what you're doing, then you can 
simply use the LISTEN_SOCKET option of MHD and do the socket-bind-listen 
sequence entirely yourself -- then you have full control.  So in that sense, 
such an option already exists.

Happy hacking
