Which ultimately depends on sockets. Hopefully the next pass will support OpenSSL and be adaptable to things like IrDA (by having hooks sufficient to support anything that makes itself look like a socket), and make either robust use of asynchronous operations or OS threads to the point that non-responsive peers or DNS servers never lock the entire image, just the calling process. ConnectionQueue polls for connections - there needs to be either another semaphore, or another job for one that exists, allowing a process to wait until a client connects rather than looping and adding time delays :(
Andreas' SSL plugin might be a good starting point or perhaps one part of a good solution?? Testing needs to be brutal, including viciously timed loss of power to network infrastructure. I am not sure if I can do that at work anymore, but I certainly can build an intranet. In fact, I have a really nice "old" machine that I rescued from the gas chamber, and an embedded computer (expected soon) that is part of a beta program and needs to be abused in various creative ways. Between them, I should be able to set up a very nice testing ground for network error handling.
