I was anticipating the client side (ie, ASP page scripts) would be the
same
either way but that I'd just listen and respond to them directly rather
than
having Apache play the middle man.

Conceptually the client-side is the same either way, but in
implementation it's not. Do you really mean "classic" .asp pages, or
asp.net pages? In classic asp it's going to be a real pain to do any
low-level socket communications. It's simple enough to pretend to be a
web-browser and request a "page" from a different site, but lower-level
sockets aren't really the kind of thing you do in asp. In asp.net you at
least have a complete programming environment behind you. But still,
it's so trivial to pretend to be a web-browser that implementing the
socket-level api's is much more work. The bottom line is that people
have written client-side helpers for accessing web-servers, there are no
client-side helpers for accessing "doug servers".
