| Vanilla arc3 has the 'open-socket and 'socket-accept functions for receiving connections.  This hack defines 'socket-connect to establish outgoing connections. (socket-connect host port) => (in-stream out-stream) Also, 'flushout is extended to deal with ports other than (stdout).  That's not strictly necessary, but useful if you're sending data with 'writec or 'writeb. (flushout (o out-stream (stdout))) Usage example: Patch is at:
http://twilightsentry.org/hacks/socket-connect.patch  (let (in out) (socket-connect "www.google.com" 80)
    (w/stdout out
      (prn "GET /index.html HTTP/1.0")
      (prn "Host: www.google.com")
      (prn))
    (while (prn:readline in))
    (close in out))
