wxLuaSocket is a C++ class for the wxLua app to communicate with a
spawned wxLua process for debugging. It is not a generic socket class,
nor is it wrapped for use in lua.

Here's the interface file for the socket classes of wxWidgets that
wxLua wraps. You use them in wxLua as you would in C++, but I have to
admit that I've never tried them. See the wxWidgets documentation.

Sorry never tried this either.

I don't know know what you mean by this?

You're probably best off just searching for C++ examples of this and
translating them to wxLua. Maybe there's some on the wxWidgets wiki?
