Ahh, ok ...

This looks mostly like a TCP socket layer.

We have made one (http://trac.lue.dk/nbpp) that can handle sockets as 
pure C++ streams, and a URL class that work much like the one in Java, 
and I was hoping to find something like this in boost, too :-(

The library I refer to has many functions also found in boost, but a few 
that is not, and I was looking for a way to join these two worlds 
together. Any advise ?
