SocketClient.connectToUri

This is a helper function for g_socket_client_connect(). Attempts to create a TCP connection with a network URI. uri may be any valid URI containing an "authority" (hostname/port) component. If a port is not specified in the URI, default_port will be used. TLS will be negotiated if "tls" is TRUE. (GSocketClient does not know to automatically assume TLS for certain URI schemes.) Using this rather than g_socket_client_connect() or g_socket_client_connect_to_host() allows GSocketClient to determine when to use application-specific proxy protocols. Upon a successful connection, a new GSocketConnection is constructed and returned. The caller owns this new object and must drop their reference to it when finished with it. In the event of any failure (DNS error, service not found, no hosts connectable) NULL is returned and error (if non-NULL) is set accordingly. Since 2.26
