globus_xio_server_create() causes a new transport-specific listener socket to be created to handle new GSI connections.

globus_xio_server_register_accept() will accept a new connection for processing. globus_xio_server_register_close() cleans up the internal resources associated with the http server and calls close on the listener.

All accepted handles inherit all gsi specific attributes set in the attr to globus_xio_server_create(), but can be overridden with the attr to globus_xio_register_open(). Furthermore, accepted handles will use the GSSAPI accept security context call unless explicitly overriden during the globus_xio_register_open() call ( GLOBUS_XIO_GSI_FORCE_SERVER_MODE).
