Copying my comment from the previous issue:
For TransmitFile support, the Windows function to turn an integer file descriptor into a WinAPI file HANDLE should be _get_osfhandle: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ks2530z6.aspx

This was mentioned on the previous issue as an issue with using TransmitFile because it was unclear how to convert a file object to a HANDLE compatible with TransmitFile; figured I'm copy over the note on the relevant API for the implementer so the research isn't done twice.
