My purpose was only to read and write to a web server, and for that it 
works fine.

Taking a look under the covers, down at the Objective-C level I don't 
see a way to grab a port and do an 'accept'/'bind' on it for incoming 
connections, so it would seem to me that you couldn't create a web 
server with rreSocket as written.

Of course, that's not saying much.

Coming from a unixy background, the Networking API is completely foreign 
to me.  I mean completely bonkers.

Gotta love Apple, who in their infinite wisdom has to bloody re-invent 
the wheel (that was working just fine, thank you very much), then 
re-invent it in an OOP way, then "simplify" that, and then complicate 
the hell out of that version. They're every bit as bad as Microsoft ever 
was.

Not that I'm bitter and twisted about the over-blown complexity of 
programming for iOS, or anything.  Bloody OOP w***ing...

Oops, my angst is showing.
