Detailed Description

A Internet service client.

This class implements the basics for a internet service client such as Http, Smtp, Nntp... It assumes that all those protocols are basically text-based and line-oriented. They exchange information between the client and the server using lines of text most of the time, and opaque binary data in few occasions.
