Connect a TCP or TLS Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.Connect, which establishes a TCP connection to a host and port. Setting the TLS argument to _TRUE_ performs a TLS handshake after the TCP connection succeeds.

    //  connection succeeds; the 4th is the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds.
