[REBOL] Re: New Rugby based chat client

First of all, you need to change the call to get-rugby-server to use the http
refinement. It is either tcp (default) or http. You have to switch in the
Reblet.
You have to call:
server-ctx: context get-rugby-service/http http://100.100.100.100:8002
The online docs have a typo there: the protocol should be http in stead of
tcp.
Rugby *is* non-blocking on the server side and on the client when using tcp.
The problem is that the view event loop is suspended upon network activity.
It is a Rebol feature ;-( And as Rebols http implementation is NOT
non-blocking, you see the root of all evil...
Writing my own http handler seems no good idea: COre 3.0 will be async which
gives the same effect, and the current http handler has good proxy support.
