Seems to require a user name and password, unfortunately.

Thanks. I'm actually using that one. I thought it was version 0.1.6
(by looking at the release version in sockets.ads), but it is actually
version 1.8.4.7). I didn't see any stream interface (looking through
the documentation). Perhaps it's there in the source and I didn't
notice it.

As for those who profit by the privileges gained by previous acts of
violence, they often forget and like to forget how these privileges
were obtained. But one need only recall the facts of history, not the
history of the exploits of different dynasties of rulers, but real
history, the history of the oppression of the majority by a small
number of men, to see that all the advantages the rich have over the
poor are based on nothing but flogging, imprisonment, and murder.
