Yup! And FWIW, I wrote an HTTP parser. And webserver. And DNS server. Amongst other bits and pieces I needed for Mibbit.
Programming isn't rocket science, I think more people should write everything themselves rather than rely on 3rd party libraries personally.
Yes, it's an investment to write your own libraries, but you end up knowing more, being able to maintain/fix bugs far easier, and often ending up with a far better solution.
