That's the traditional way to do it, but I'm not so sure it's the right way for
the future. Wouldn't it be better to have an interface to it that is a range,
rather than pretend it's a FILE* ?
And in either case, if the buffer is empty a get() operation will block,
correct?
I'm no expert in network programming, but yes. I suspect there should be a
settable timeout which should throw, too.
