Research direction
Start by reading the php_network.h header and the related emulation layer, then review issue #15511 for the original context. Determine the Unix poll() requirement and the Windows emulation changes needed to simplify both areas; done means the platform-specific networking code is simplified while retaining the intended behavior on Unix and Windows.
