A factory for creating, initializing and connecting sockets. The factory encapsulates the logic for establishing a socket connection.
Since:4.1
Deprecated:(4.3) use ConnectionSocketFactory

@Deprecated public interface SchemeSocketFactory {
Creates a new, unconnected socket. The socket should subsequently be passed to connectSocket(Socket, InetSocketAddress, InetSocketAddress, HttpParams).
Params:
Throws:
  • IOException – if an I/O error occurs while creating the socket
Returns: a new socket
/** * Creates a new, unconnected socket. The socket should subsequently be passed to * {@link #connectSocket(Socket, InetSocketAddress, InetSocketAddress, HttpParams)}. * * @param params Optional {@link HttpParams parameters}. In most cases these parameters * will not be required and will have no effect, as usually socket * initialization should take place in the * {@link #connectSocket(Socket, InetSocketAddress, InetSocketAddress, HttpParams)} * method. However, in rare cases one may want to pass additional parameters * to this method in order to create a customized {@link Socket} instance, * for instance bound to a SOCKS proxy server. * * @return a new socket * * @throws IOException if an I/O error occurs while creating the socket */
Socket createSocket(HttpParams params) throws IOException;
Connects a socket to the target host with the given remote address.

Please note that HttpInetSocketAddress class should be used in order to pass the target remote address along with the original HttpHost value used to resolve the address. The use of HttpInetSocketAddress can also ensure that no reverse DNS lookup will be performed if the target remote address was specified as an IP address.

Params:
  • sock – the socket to connect, as obtained from createSocket. null indicates that a new socket should be created and connected.
  • remoteAddress – the remote address to connect to.
  • localAddress – the local address to bind the socket to, or null for any
  • params – additional parameters for connecting
Throws:

Returns: the connected socket. The returned object may be different from the sock argument if this factory supports a layered protocol.

Socket connectSocket( Socket sock, InetSocketAddress remoteAddress, InetSocketAddress localAddress, HttpParams params) throws IOException, UnknownHostException, ConnectTimeoutException;
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 cipher suite chosen for the connection.

Params:
  • sock – the connected socket to check
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.
Returns: true if the connection of the socket should be considered secure, or false if it should not
