A collection of socket utilities in pure Swift

SwifterSockets is part of the 5 packages that make up the Swiftfire webserver:

#####Swiftfire

An open source web server in Swift.

#####SwiftfireConsole

There is a 6th package called SwiftfireTester that can be used to challenge a webserver (any webserver) and see/verify the response.
