;;; very simple demo for how to connect to a server, 
;;; send a request and receive a response.

;;; Here, we use an asynchronous IO socket.  We wrap the whole
;;; operation with an exception handler to handle the would-block
;;; conditions.  If we do get a would-block condition, we just
;;; return, causing the read/write operation to be restarted until
;;; it succeeds.  Pretty lame at this point, but it works.
