Is `&TlsStream: Read + Write` possible? #276

Closed rMazeiks closed 1 year ago

rMazeiks commented 1 year ago

TlsStream implements Read and Write. However, &TlsStream doesn't, unlike &std::net::TcpStream.

Is it possible to implement these traits for references to TlsStream as well?

Use case: I need to share a TlsStream accross 2 threads. I want to read from it in one thread, and write to it in another. Unfortunately, this means that I have to use a Mutex to synchronize access, which leads to deadlock if the reading thread is blocking, waiting for data that won't come until the writing thread sends something.

Thank you!

It is not.

Bit curious why, but I'll take your word for it :laughing:

Thanks for the quick reply!
