Our CGI service does not support the creation of socket connections or socket modules.

This prevents scripts and applications from creating real-time links to other servers (such as outgoing mail servers). This restriction is in place to inhibit spammers and protect bandwidth. Likewise, streaming media is not supported, nor are other real-time services like IRC.
