Not unless the protocol were HTTP.

Keeping non-trivial C++ code compiling portably between 32 and 64 bit is a 
huge effort, and for various reasons I didn't think the numeric data 
passing across would stay intact and I never tested it. Nobody who's tried 
it has experienced any problems, but I'm not going to spend my time trying 
to support that, not with everything else I have to deal with.
