Hi bomz,

Sorry if I am missing something but I guess we discussed about the streams :

I don't understand well what in English call stream and what pipe.
We are talking about redirect streams, problems was that console function not allow redirect
redirect support only readfile writefile

now I am talking about additional descriptors (streams), not stdout stderr stdin, but additional 4-9
I make little experiment 3 stream already in use.
I want my application IN data through stdin, OUT log through stderr, OUT data through stdout,
OUT headers through additional 4 stream, OUT certificate headers through 5 stream and OUT certificate data through 6 stream
so I may use such constructions in batch files
