Produces a socket/stream to be used for HTTP requests.
By default, this function is the same as net.createConnection(). However,
custom agents may override this method in case greater flexibility is desired.
A socket/stream can be supplied in one of two ways: by returning the
socket/stream from this function, or by passing the socket/stream to callback.
This method is guaranteed to return an instance of the net.Socket class,
a subclass of stream.Duplex, unless the user specifies a socket
type other than net.Socket.
