Connects the socket to the target host with the given resolved remote address.
Params:
connectTimeout – connect timeout.
sock – the socket to connect, as obtained from createSocket(HttpContext). null indicates that a new socket should be created and connected.
host – target host as specified by the caller (end user).
remoteAddress – the resolved remote address to connect to.
localAddress – the local address to bind the socket to, or null for any.
context – the actual HTTP context.
Throws:
IOException – if an I/O error occurs
Returns:
 the connected socket. The returned object may be different from the sock argument if this factory supports a layered protocol./**
