public interface ProtocolSocketFactory

A factory for creating Sockets.

Both Object.equals() and Object.hashCode() should be overridden appropriately. Protocol socket factories are used to uniquely identify Protocols and HostConfigurations, and equals() and hashCode() are required for the correct operation of some connection managers.
