yes, I know. http handling is only for single requests and so on,
can't use a persistent connection. for sockets, flash class
is called XMLSocket and is the only way to have a persistent tcp
connection. of course not only xml, but other raw data could be
sent/received. the null termination is needed by flash to be
able to know that the full message (xml or raw) is fully transmitted.
also jabber or other im servers does this 'null termination'.
unfortunately , there isn't a way to override that.
