  Don't worry about it. When I merge libnet into Gnash to add RTMP 
support, all the I/O handling will change. This is basically a quick a 
dirty implementation to get the open street editor working, which needed 
simple remoting support. Libnet also supports it's own HTTP code (client 
side and server side), so eventually it'll replace libcurl.

  Which libnet does.
