Methods Summary
public java.net.Socket	connectSocket(java.net.Socket sock, java.lang.String host, int port, java.net.InetAddress localAddress, int localPort, org.apache.http.params.HttpParams params) Connects a socket to the given host. param sock the socket to connect, as obtained from {@link #createSocket createSocket}. null indicates that a new socket should be created and connected. param host the host to connect to param port the port to connect to on the host param localAddress the local address to bind the socket to, or null for any param localPort the port on the local machine, 0 or a negative number for any param params additional {@link HttpParams parameters} for connecting return the connected socket. The returned object may be different from the sock argument if this factory supports a layered protocol. throws IOException if an I/O error occurs throws UnknownHostException if the IP address of the target host can not be determined throws ConnectTimeoutException if the socket cannot be connected within the time limit defined in the params
public java.net.Socket	createSocket() Creates a new, unconnected socket. The socket should subsequently be passed to {@link #connectSocket connectSocket}. return a new socket throws IOException if an I/O error occurs while creating the socket
public boolean	isSecure(java.net.Socket sock) Checks whether a socket provides a secure connection. The socket must be {@link #connectSocket 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. param sock the connected socket to check return true if the connection of the socket should be considered secure, or false if it should not throws 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.
