New feature: implement SendRequest

hi jchristin, I’m new to github, I’ve found your library very useful for my next project. It’s very easy to use and works very good. I would like see in your WatsonTcpClient class an implementation of a method like this

byte[] SendRequest(Dictionary<object,object>, string data)

When the client sends this message it will wait for the response and then provide the response as return value.

When the server receives the Request it fires an event and after event management sends the response to the client.

Who manages the server event must set the response in a property of eventargs. Also the server have to respond very quickly 😃

I think that in this case the communication between the client and the server will be synchronous, i cannot send to server other requests until the current has no response.

I don’t know if this is a good idea but this implementation makes the TCP calls more similar to method calls.

let me know what do you think about

Thanks

Ok I think I have a solution here. The issue was around conversion to UTC. I don’t know, however, if this fix will break the fix I put in for @ozrecsec so I’ll need confirmation. Also both Test.Client and Test.Server now have a command called sendandwait empty for this purpose.

NuGet v3.1.3: https://www.nuget.org/packages/WatsonTcp/3.1.3 Commit: https://github.com/jchristn/WatsonTcp/commit/495cffc36e069b7c0234f8ea3fc659b2a6273724

Please let me know if any issues either way.
