	auto addresses = getAddress("localhost", 8085);
	auto socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.INET, SocketType.STREAM, 
ProtocolType.TCP);
	scope(exit) socket.close();
	
	socket.connect(addresses[0]);
	
	auto buffer = new ubyte[2056];
	ptrdiff_t amountRead;
	while((amountRead = socket.receive(buffer)) != 0) {
		enforce(amountRead > 0, lastSocketError);
		
		// Do stuff with buffer
	}
