Server Protocol
The protocol is currently in an early stage, and is bound to change.
.
Establishing a connection
Establish a TCP connection with the server, and send the payload. If the server likes your payload, it will stream data to you, or accept more of your data.
The payload
Send a UTF-8 string identifying the client's intentions. Fill the request with trailing spaces until the request is 1024 bytes.
