The first incarnation of SocketStream was in Comanche, but the one in
3.7 is a rewrite of it from Michael Rueger.
Later versions of Comanche, currently named KomHttpServer uses the one
now in 3.7.

I would probably look into extending SocketStream since it IMHO should
be able to work as a Stream as much as possible.
Just my gut feeling. And since it is pretty new it can surely be missing
things.

For making servers, promise me to take a look at KomHttpServer - there
is a lot of good stuff in there! :)
