This new implementation should behave exactly like the old Perl code with the exception of a few updated log messages.
Remove as much of the Perl code as possible without breaking other commands.
The C local is only used for C commands in the main process.
Some tweaking of the existing protocolGet() command was required. Originally the idea was to share the function for local and remote requests but the differences (as in Perl) were too great to make that practical.
