this is insane! Why on earth would one to replace a short, simple, highly debugable program with this crazy combination. Why would you trade a simple socket(2) call which shows up in ss, netstat, strace etc.. with something that opaque? Especially given the bandwidth is minuscule and the destination is already localhost.
