Yup, spot on!

Are you after creating a connection to a web server running elsewhere
on the network? That'll work just fine. It's just another IP:port
endpoint that you're establishing.

One of my own combinations is to run the SliMP3Connector alongside a
TiVoYACConnector all in the one application. This has a TCP/IP
connection to a SliMP3Server as well as one to a TiVo, in addition to
all the xAP infrastructure it requires.

And if it's running as a Hub, it'll have a connection to each of any
registered Hub Clients too, although I can't remember how I
implemented that now. Diddling with the listener code isn't something
I've had to do in a fair old while now.
