A factory for creating and connecting sockets.
 The factory encapsulates the logic for establishing a socket connection.
 
 Both Object.equals()
 and Object.hashCode()
 must be overridden for the correct operation of some connection managers.

Connects a socket to the given host.
| sock | the socket to connect, as obtained from
                  createSocket.
                  null indicates that a new socket
                  should be created and connected. | 
        
|---|---|
| host | the host to connect to | 
| port | the port to connect to on the host | 
| localAddress | the local address to bind the socket to, or
                  null for any | 
        
| localPort | the port on the local machine, 0 or a negative number for any | 
| params | additional parameters for connecting | 
        
sock argument if this factory supports
          a layered protocol.| IOException | if an I/O error occurs | 
|---|---|
| UnknownHostException | if the IP address of the target host can not be determined | 
| ConnectTimeoutException | if the socket cannot be connected
          within the time limit defined in the params
 | 
        
Creates a new, unconnected socket.
 The socket should subsequently be passed to
 connectSocket.
| IOException | if an I/O error occurs while creating the socket | 
|---|
Checks whether a socket provides a secure connection.
 The socket must be connected
 by this factory.
 The factory will not perform I/O operations
 in this method.
 
 As a rule of thumb, plain sockets are not secure and
 TLS/SSL sockets are secure. However, there may be
 application specific deviations. For example, a plain
 socket to a host in the same intranet ("trusted zone")
 could be considered secure. On the other hand, a
 TLS/SSL socket could be considered insecure based on
 the cypher suite chosen for the connection.
| sock | the connected socket to check | 
|---|
true if the connection of the socket
          should be considered secure, or
          false if it should not| IllegalArgumentException | if the argument is invalid, for example because it is not a connected socket or was created by a different socket factory. Note that socket factories are not required to check these conditions, they may simply return a default value when called with an invalid socket argument. |
