looking for network streams binding

looking for network streams binding

[Roy T. Fielding]

I am looking for a freeware library or set of packages for binding
Ada95 to TCP/IP network streams (or even plain sockets).  I have checked
the usual archives, to no avail.  The purpose is to provide a native
interface for Ada95 clients using HTTP requests, with message retrieval,
parsing, and processing using concurrent threads.

It needs to be something I can redistribute (eventually) for free.
OTOH, I'd be willing to help coordinate a collaborative effort, similar
to what I have already done for libwww-perl and Apache.

It seems fairly obvious thing to do is create an Ada binding to Doug Schmidt's
ACE package.  Poke around cs.wustl.edu and you'll find it.
