I have to apologize, I probably got something wrong when trying the solution 
from Mads. I did it again now and now it seems to work (apart from the client 
still waiting for more data instead of exiting, but thats probably due to the 
way the data is read).

I actually want to transmit ByteStrings in exactly this way (one request to 
the server, the server does some processing and sends a response back), but 
couldn't get it to work and therefore tried with ordinary strings. Now I can 
move forward to ByteStrings.

Thanks!
