How would you do it with getStockQuote?
Perhaps you could parameterize the invocation to describe what stock
quote format(s) you accepted;
getStockQuote( "FooStockQuoteFormat", "GOOG" );
You can do this with GET too;
GET http://www.example.org/quote/GOOG HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/FooStockQuoteFormat

You cannot transfer with *just* TCP, you need a transfer layer on top
of TCP, which is what transfer protocols like HTTP, IMAP, SMTP
provide.
