Is there a serverside socket library?

[ArghArgh200]

The socket framework is not accessible from the plugins, though it may become. Can you elaborate on what API you'd like to have?

I just need the ability to split strings using a delimiter, open, read, close, and listen on sockets (last one optional) so that I can create an IRC relay link thing, I already have one for my Garry's Mod server I can easily adapt. Also, what version of Lua does this software use?

Thanks!
