The HTTP client-side library calls "makefile" on the socket, then closes it, then passes the file returned from "makefile" on to application code to work with.

Seems to me we really need two different APIs for doing a makefile()-like operation, depending on whether you're expecting to get a copy of the file descriptor or not.
