The process library, which is available for all platforms supported by the
Mjølner System, includes some very basic support for internet protocols.
The file demo/process/proxy.bet does some very basic HTTP.

Another example of such a protocol is contrib/threads/v1.4/nntp.bet.  It is
not a complete implementation of NNTP.

There are no standard libraries for any highlevel protocols for the moment.

You could try using "telnet <server> <protocol>" to explore the protocols.
After that, you could read the relevant RFCs and write the library ;)
