how would I go about creating a Socket receiveAll method?

The buffer is copied by the ~= operator, but indeed you're right 
that I forgot to receive again inside the loop! That would just 
spin until it ran out of memory lol.

But I did put receive outside the loop for a reason: it just 
needs to prime the return value before it gets checked the first 
time. But then, of course, it should receive again at the end of 
the loop to advance to the next chunk.
