Deprecated: Use DatagramSocket instead for UDP transport.

Creates a socket and connects it to the specified port number at the specified IP address.

If the stream argument is true, this creates a stream socket. If the stream argument is false, it creates a datagram socket.

If the application has specified a server socket factory, that factory's createSocketImpl method is called to create the actual socket implementation. Otherwise a "plain" socket is created.

If there is a security manager, its checkConnect method is called with host.getHostAddress() and port as its arguments. This could result in a SecurityException.

If UDP socket is used, TCP/IP related socket options will not apply.

Parameters:

host     the IP address.

port     the port number.

stream     if true, create a stream socket; otherwise, create a datagram socket.

Exceptions:

IOException     if an I/O error occurs when creating the socket.

SecurityException     if a security manager exists and its checkConnect method doesn't allow the operation.

IllegalArgumentException     if the port parameter is outside the specified range of valid port values, which is between 0 and 65535, inclusive.

NullPointerException     if host is null.

`host`		the IP address.
`port`		the port number.
`stream`		if `true`, create a stream socket; otherwise, create a datagram socket.

`IOException`		if an I/O error occurs when creating the socket.
`SecurityException`		if a security manager exists and its `checkConnect` method doesn't allow the operation.
`IllegalArgumentException`		if the port parameter is outside the specified range of valid port values, which is between 0 and 65535, inclusive.
`NullPointerException`		if `host` is null.
