Creates a new socket connection to the host and port and returns a Future that will complete with either a RawSocket once connected or an error if the host-lookup or connection failed.
host
can either be a String or an InternetAddress. If host
is a String, connect will perform a InternetAddress.lookup and try all returned InternetAddresses, until connected. Unless a connection was established, the error from the first failing connection is returned.
The argument sourceAddress
can be used to specify the local address to bind when making the connection. sourceAddress
can either be a String
or an InternetAddress
. If a String
is passed it must hold a numeric IP address.
The argument timeout
is used to specify the maximum allowed time to wait for a connection to be established. If timeout
is longer than the system level timeout duration, a timeout may occur sooner than specified in timeout
. On timeout, a SocketException is thrown and all ongoing connection attempts to host
are cancelled.
external static Future<RawSocket> connect(host, int port, {sourceAddress, Duration timeout});
