You must use the avio family of function, not the OS functions directly. You
can have a look at tools/aviocat.c, it is rather simple and does a good
chunk of what your server needs to do per client.

I believe you are slightly changing the behaviour here: in the old code, if
accept() fails, the server is not closed.

I believe the summary and @return statements are wrong: the new code always
returns 0 for success, which is fine.

This will crash if called on a non-server socket. A test on
s->prot->url_accept with a clear error message and a return code would be a
good idea. av_assert0() would probably be acceptable too, as it only happens
in case of clear application error.

Another solution would be to have a "listen" field in the URLContext
structure and test it, changing it to reflect the listen status (normal
client, server, client during handshake, single-shot server), but that can
be done later.

Maybe this should go in url_handshake().

File descriptors are meaningless outside the actual implementation, so
"return 0" would probably be better.

Did you test this one? My guess is it will not work because the
accept/handshake callbacks are not implemented for the TLS code.

I am not sure the proxy client code needs a server side.

I suspect this belongs in patch #6.
