Socket communication

Detailed Description

These classes enable network communication with TCP (plain or TLS encrypted), UDP and Unix/Local sockets.

The SocketServer class implements a multithreaded socket server and is easier to use than using Socket objects directly for serving multiple clients in parallel.

This simplified example would connect to a server (at some host and TCP port), send a question and receive an answer.

Socket socket;
socket.connect("thehost", 8000);
socket << "getname\n";
String answer = socket.readLine();
