Couldn't one simply write a php script opening up a socket and routing the request as fit? Is there a need for this in the core?

It's unnecessary to have to write that every time you want this feature though. Would be nice, and certainty more efficient, for it to be in the core.

I'm just thinking this would be better suited for a quite simple php script/framework you could download, since it's not in any way meant for deployment.
