+/* This callback is used to send a valid PROXY protocol line to a socket being

+ * it is not possible to determine the other end's address. It returns 0 if it
+ * fails in a fatal way or needs to poll to go further, otherwise it returns
+ * non-zero and removes itself from the connection's flags (the bit is provided
+ * in <flag> by the caller). It is designed to be called by the connection
+ * handler and relies on it to commit polling changes. Note that this function
+ * expects to be able to send the whole line at once, which should always be
+ * possible since it is supposed to start at the first byte of the outgoing
