/**
 * An <code>RMISocketFactory</code> instance is used by the RMI runtime
 * in order to obtain client and server sockets for RMI calls.  An
 * application may use the <code>setSocketFactory</code> method to
 * request that the RMI runtime use its socket factory instance
 * instead of the default implementation.<p>
 *
 * The default socket factory implementation used goes through a
 * three-tiered approach to creating client sockets. First, a direct
 * socket connection to the remote VM is attempted.  If that fails
 * (due to a firewall), the runtime uses HTTP with the explicit port
 * number of the server.  If the firewall does not allow this type of
 * communication, then HTTP to a cgi-bin script on the server is used
 * to POST the RMI call.<p>
