[section Establishing Connections]

Connections are established by invoking functions directly on the next layer
object. For example, to make an outgoing connection using a standard TCP/IP
socket:

Similarly, to accept an incoming connection using a standard TCP/IP
socket, pass the next layer object to the acceptor:

[ws_snippet_7]

When using SSL, which itself wraps a next layer object that is usually a
TCP/IP socket, multiple calls to retrieve the next layer may be required.
In this example, the websocket stream wraps the SSL stream which wraps
the TCP/IP socket:

    Examples use synchronous interfaces for clarity of exposition.
