open_addr

Description:

public bool open_addr (SocketAddress addr, string? hostname)

Open a socket connection to server identified by addr.

addr may refer to either a TCP address (IPv4/6) or a UNIX socket address. The hostname provided should reflect the name of the host that the addr provides a connection to, if it is not already available in addr. For example, if addr points to a proxy server, then hostname can be used to provide the name of the final endpoint. This will be used by some authentication schemes, for example x509 certificate validation against hostname.

Parameters:

this	the connection object
addr	the socket address
hostname	the hostname

Returns:

TRUE if a connection was opened, FALSE if already open
