Out of curiosity, why do you need Socket::new_dummy? Is it for testing things on your own side? It was made only for internal testing purposes.

So any function I write that has an argument like socket: SocketRef, that I need to write a unit test for I need some way of having a dummy socket to pass into it. Or even a simple real socket would work really.
Socket::new_dummy should work based on what i read.

I understand I can use axum to test at a higher level but that doesn't count for the coverage report and unfortunately that's what I'm graded on. My only alternative that i can think of at least is transmute but that raises flags too lol
