Thanks Tony. I looked at that, but it doesn't support generic TCP
sockets, nor does it support HTTP writing. I need to be able send and
receive information with a remote service, and netrw only does half
the job.
Does the client-server stuff in vim use TCP sockets? Is that API
available to scripts?
Thanks,
Stewart
