dlib C++ Library - server_iostream_ex.cpp

/*
 This is an example illustrating the use of the server_iostream object from
 the dlib C++ Library.
 This is a simple echo server. It listens on port 1234 for incoming
 connections and just echos back any text it receives, but in upper case. So
 basically it is the same as the sockets_ex.cpp example program except it
 uses iostreams. 
 To test it out you can just open a command prompt and type:
 telnet localhost 1234
 Then you can type away.
