Yep... I tried that out just now, and it works, when I put the rfile on
unbuffered. I had to switch to the lower level functions (recv) anyway,
as the file-object functions don't return a length in most (????)
cases... Sometimes they do, and it works, but most of the time it
doesn't work... Strange.

Well... Using recv and send directly is no backbreaking experience, as I
can then quite easily switch to using an ssl socket some time later.

Thanks!
