This function is an "identity" application protocol in that it reads data from the transport and passes it down stream without doing anything with it. It simply reads data and is a wrapper around a registered transport mechanism for reading from a socket. It provides a callback function for the event loop so that a socket can be loaded using non-blocking I/O. The function requires an open socket. It will typically be used in server applications or in a client application that can read directly from `stdin`.

This module is implemented by HTSocket.c, and it is a part of the W3C Sample Code Library.
