   No, I don't see why the connection and transmission of   
   data can't be done using standard fopen etc functions.   
      
   After that, parsing of data can be done with standard   
   C90 code/libraries too.   
      
   This is the problem. Someone has made it more   
   complicated than it needs to be. I wonder why.
