Though it wouldn't have to be an actual socket implementation. I suppose the modern form of a socket is web services, so XMLRPC or SOAP or even a REST interface which all use HTTP rather than straight TCP or some lower level transport.

yep.. sockets are more and more used for low level operational needs. For most applications and things, it's too low level to be easily implemented for a common user, nor would they want that low. At least it's not bare bones low. Each time you got data on a socket you'd have to reinitialize it then. Now that's fun.

Hey feyd, you and I think this sounds like a fun/interesting programming problem, while poor fangorn has a real deadline and a real boss giving him crazy and shifting requirements. ;)
