15 For each incoming connection, it creates an instance of (a subclass of) the generic TCP

19 TCPListener supports SSL, Bonjour advertisements for the service, and automatic port renumbering
20 if there are conflicts. (The SSL related methods are inherited from TCPEndpoint.)
22 You will almost always need to implement the TCPListenerDelegate protocol in your own
23 code, and set an instance as the listener's delegate property, in order to be informed
