Good point. Ruby Gems will have been built to use OpenSSL and other
existing libraries anyways.

I had a look at https://github.com/nielx/haiku-netservices-rfc and it
seems fine - I like the use of BMessages for notifications.
Uploads are a bit limited, or is that implied functionality? Peer to
peer isn't implemented (though a separate BitTorrent client makes more
sense than cluttering the API).
Should anything be done for IPFS support
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System) or just rely
on HTTP gateways?
