[zeromq-dev] Using ZeroMQ on the Windows Phone 7.1/5 Mango Platform

Hi Martin,

I've taken a look at the JavaScript binding, and it's very clever. However, it sidesteps JavaScript's lack of socket support by cheating and using a Flash object for socket support.

The annoying thing about Windows Phone 7.5 is that the socket functionality IS there, but not available, as it is used by the higher-level HttpWebRequest classes etc. It's just that raw sockets are not available to the (non-OEM) developer.

I think I'm going to have a go at the Android version first!

Thanks,
Nick Talbot
