Wrong again - the socket module does not give you raw sockets. If you were loo lazy to read the Wikipedia link I suggest you reconsider and educate yourself on the subject.
you're right, i was wrong, there is no core `socket` module (anymore?). but you were not right either.
node core can only tell if a file is a socket, but not read from it, at least that's what the docs say.
Wrong again. What I said was that there was no native module in Node that would give you _raw socket_ access. And there isn't. Period. The thing you linked to doesn't either. Jeez ... :(
