Protocol testing

[Yann Bourdeau]

Hi!

        I have read the documentation but I have not found an answer to my 
question. I have to automate test to two servers (proprietary protocol over 
TCP/IP and REST over HTTP). I'd like to send request and evaluate the reply 
received. The only solution I can think of is doing a local binary that will 
connect to the server and take the request on stdin and relay the reply on 
stdout. Can DejaGnu interact directly with socket? 

thank you
