Don't get me wrong, it is *possible* to implement this on the "blank metal" socket library. I've learned implementing parallel servers with the socket library before HTTP was even around... But you'd have to reinvent the wheel and implement the HTTP protocol that your web server in all likelihood will run. Unless the server side is correspondingly built on the socket library. Which nobody does, really, you'll find HTTP and RESTful, SOAP or other services in this arena. It appears you'll have to learn about web server and client development before you can think about getting on first base with Android.
