 /**
  * @namespace KSocketFactory
  * @brief KSocketFactory provides functions for opening sockets to remote hosts
  *
  * KSocketFactory is a socket-opener group of functions that must be
  * used whenever a KDE application wants to communicate with a remote
  * host. It will determine the necessary proxy and local KDE settings,
  * then open the connection. The typical use-case is:
  *
  * <code>
  *   d->socket = KSocketFactory::connectToHost("www.kde.org", "http");
  *   d->socket->setParent(this);
  *   QObject::connect(d->socket, SIGNAL(connected()),
  *                    this, SLOT(socketConnected()));
  * </code>
  *
  * Synchronous operation is not recommended, since it may lead to UI
  * deadlocks. It is preferred to return to the mainloop if the socket
  * is being created in the main GUI thread.
  *
  * However, if the socket is created in an auxiliary thread, it is
  * possible to use something equivalent to synchronous mode:
  *
  * <code>
  *   d->socket = KSocketFactory::synchronousConnectToHost("www.kde.org", "http");
  *   d->socket->setParent(this);
  * </code>
  *
  * All objects returned from these functions belong to the caller and
  * must be disposed of properly. Calling QObject::setParent() or
  * passing a parent object is the recommended way.

  * that is connecting (i.e., in a state before
  * QAbstractSocket::Connected) in most cases, even if the target
  * service doesn't exist or if a connection failure happens.
  *
  * This function never returns 0. If the returned socket cannot
  * connect, it will emit the QAbstractSocket::error()

  * of the protocol being attempted, like "http", "ftp" or
  * "xmpp". It might be used to determine the proxy type -- for
  * instance, the proxy for HTTP connections might be different
  * from the proxy for other connections. Pass an empty QString if
  * the connection is of no established protocol.

  * number lookup if the service is not a well-known service.
