need some help with tcpobject

I have been playing around a bit with tcpobject and got it to work, but for some reason only by putting in a delay. That does not seem the proper way of doing this.

I now have this code:

function getText() {
   %udp = new tcpobject(getText);
   %udp.connect($textServer@":"@$textServerPort);
   schedule($tcpWaitTime,0,getTextReally,%udp);  
}

function getTextReally(%uddp) 
{
	%uddp.send("GET http://"@$textServer@$textPath@$textFile@" \r\n");
}

function getText::onLine(%this, %line)
{    
   if(%line !$= "")
   {
		echo ("test:: " @ %line);
		ChatHud.addLine(%line);
	}
}

I have this code working with tcpWaitTime set to 500. What would be a better way of doing this? Thanks!
