<P>
This function is an "<I>identity</I>" application protocol in that it reads
data from the transport and passes it down stream without doing anything
with it. It simply reads data and is a wrapper around a registered
<A HREF="HTTrans.html">transport mechanism</A> for reading from a socket.
It provides a callback function for the <A HREF="HTEvent.html">event loop</A>
so that a socket can be loaded using non-blocking I/O. The function requires
an <B>open</B> socket. It will typically be used in server applications or
in a client application that can read directly from <CODE>stdin</CODE>.
<P>
This module is implemented by <A HREF="HTSocket.c">HTSocket.c</A>, and it
is a part of the <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Library/"> W3C Reference
Library</A>.
