Deprecated. (4.3) use ConnectionSocketFactory

@Deprecated
public interface SchemeSocketFactory

A factory for creating, initializing and connecting sockets. The factory encapsulates the logic for establishing a socket connection.

Since:

4.1

Method Summary

Socket	connectSocket(Socket sock, InetSocketAddress remoteAddress, InetSocketAddress localAddress, org.apache.http.params.HttpParams params) Deprecated. Connects a socket to the target host with the given remote address.
Socket	createSocket(org.apache.http.params.HttpParams params) Deprecated. Creates a new, unconnected socket.
boolean	isSecure(Socket sock) Deprecated. Checks whether a socket provides a secure connection.

Method Detail

createSocket

Socket createSocket(org.apache.http.params.HttpParams params)
                    throws IOException

Deprecated.

Creates a new, unconnected socket. The socket should subsequently be passed to connectSocket(Socket, InetSocketAddress, InetSocketAddress, HttpParams).

Parameters:

params - Optional parameters. In most cases these parameters will not be required and will have no effect, as usually socket initialization should take place in the 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 Socket instance, for instance bound to a SOCKS proxy server.

Returns:

a new socket

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs while creating the socket

connectSocket

Socket connectSocket(Socket sock,
                     InetSocketAddress remoteAddress,
                     InetSocketAddress localAddress,
                     org.apache.http.params.HttpParams params)
                     throws IOException,
                            UnknownHostException,
                            ConnectTimeoutException

Deprecated.

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.

Parameters:

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

Returns:

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

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

isSecure

boolean isSecure(Socket sock)
                 throws IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated.

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.

Parameters:

sock - the connected socket to check

Returns:

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.
