Freenet/contrib/xmlrpc/SimpleClient.java says:
public interface SimpleClient
{
byte[] getFile(String key, int htl) throws Exception;
void putFile(String key, int htl, byte[] data) throws Exception;
}
So argument 3 is the actual data! Kooky. You mmap(), I guess. (Unless
you're using Java, in which case you use DataInputStream.readFully.)

CHKs and SSKs are indeed magical, and I guess the key argument is updated
with the final key.
You'll have to pass it "freenet:CHK@" as the key, and it'll come back like
"freenet:CHK at EEj6Y5kcdm6NYeDiTneWTx4ra-URAwE,UNGzBoP9MUQSGl3uxt0Y9g".
But I shouldn't talk, I've never used it.
