Well, in Ruby terms, a file is just a string -- once it's read in.

Lyle Johnson pointed out that you can do this:

ICON_FILE = 'icon.jpg'

bytes = File.open(ICON_FILE, 'rb').read
File.open('icon.rb', 'w') do |f|
    f.puts "ICON_STRING = #{bytes.inspect}"
end

There's no reason that you can't end up treating the TCPSocket the 
same way.
