I concur with the above. :-)
Me sending the simplest HTTP request over port 80 to a remote server,
would that be a call to an API?
echo -e 'GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n' | nc www.somewhere.com 80
Thus sending a request to a web server, I suppose it is, as you
mentioned, a pure protocol negotiation. Not an API.
Thanks for the answer. ;-)
