Indeed it should. If you are going to implement that, you might want to
take a look at the MDSession object in netmd/libnetmd.py. While I don't
want to imply this is for sure the best way to design the interface, at
least that interface seemed to work out quite nicely for the
downloadhack script and gave the impression that will work for more
complex implementations, too.
