libcurl should not do "raw" TCP, that's already covered by socket API:s and libraries

I have a tcp service that listens on some port and wait for requests and repliec with data. It should be considered generic tcp service.
I would like to use curl as client of that service, connect to it, write request and read response, limit data transfer, properly handle timeouts etc - basically use curl features with that generic tcp service.
Unfortunately curl doesn't have such protocol support. Closest one is probably telnet://.
I'm requesting a feature: pure tcp client, working like telnet but for raw tcp services.
