And you can only read/write data from/to the socket in string form?
What a terrible interface.

Basically, you won't be able to transfer binary data correctly unless
you can use something like Base64 encoding at both ends. If you don't
have control over the other end, you're stuffed.

Is there any way you can ditch this library and use a different one? It
sounds awful...
