' Minimal Tcp client for vb.net by abderramah (based in several msdn example codes)
'
' // este cliente no mantiene una conexión abierta, tan sólo conecta a una dirección, envía los datos indicados
' // y espera a recibir respuesta. En caso de no recibirla es posible que se quede en estado de espera, pero
' // con unas pocas líneas se puede solucionar.

' // petición http de ejemplo:
' // getsocket.socketsendreceive(192.168.2.5, 80, "GET / HTTP/1.1" + ControlChars.Cr + ControlChars.Lf )
