That's really what it eventually does, just that it refuses my
connection, and a connection to another server is established.

The alternative is to do it by http connection, but i'm afraid
that's going to be too slow. or am i wrong here?

To help you understand me better, this is a server at work that
gives me some account information, so when i want to check "several
hundred" accounts i need to look them up one by one since the server
closes the connection after each query.
