SocketThis connector will open a socket client to a specified host:port, and use it's I/O streams for communications. Socket ports can be any number 1-65535. Servers on ports 1-1023 require usually special permissions to start, but this client may connect to an established server on any port.
When a connection fails, a short delay may be necessary before reconnecting, to allow the source device to close its end of the socket connection. The "source.disconnect.secs" property is the number of seconds to wait before an automatic reconnection. This applies during a source connection failure (if the "source.retry" property is > 0), and during and idle timeout (if the "source.idle.restart" property is enabled). The range is integers 0-60. The default is 0. The units are whole seconds.
