Capability to connect to a remote server instead of being the server

[ahoenerBE]

Hi,
I'm working on a project that may require robots to send/receive data from a remote server not on the same network. My idea was that there could be a package in which the robot attempts to connect to this remote socket, instead of acting like the server and requiring clients to connect to it, since it's unlikely that the robot will be port forwarded outside the network.
This could most likely be accomplished with some of the existing socket code and libraries, to reduce bloat and maintenance. Is this something that you'd consider merging if I made a PR for?
