I'm surprised this worked this easily but then I thought that perhaps 
you've only tested with GNUtls?

My understanding was that Windows sockets were not file descriptors and 
that read/write cannot be used with them.  Neither can select.  It's 
been a long time since I've done windows socket programming though so I 
may be mistaken.
