Thanks for the quick answer!

Adapting the BIO_METHOD stuff looks easy enough indeed, thanks for the
pointers. The problem is that, in my BIO_METHOD callbacks, I access some of
the BIO properties for the logic to implement. For instance, in the *create
callback I set, among others, my own helper struct pointer in the ->ptr
property of the involved BIO, so that I can always access it when using the
BIO itself; or, in the *write callback, I access the ->next_bio property.

I'll check if/how I can set/get them on the BIO using dedicated methods
instead of accessing properties directly.

Thanks!
Lorenzo
