// 1. create a HttpWebRequest with the Uri = "ws://server_address"
// 2. create a client WebSocket with WebSocket.CreateClientWebSocket(stream_requested_from_the_HttpWebRequest)
// On pre-Win8, the WebSocket.CreateClientWebSocket method doesn't work, so users needs to provide a factory for step #2.
// WCF will internally create the HttpWebRequest from step #1 and will call the web socket factory for step #2.
// A factory can also be used in Win8 (and above), if the user desires to use his own WebSocket implementation.

// Provides the client WebSocket for step #2. WCF creates the HttpWebRequest in step #1, and passes the HttpWebResponse stream
// to this method. The 'settings' argument can optionally be used. On Win8 (and above), the WebSocket.CreateClientWebSocket method
// requires other arguments (in addition to the Stream) that can be obtained from 'settings'. Since the WebSocket.CreateClientWebSocket
// finds this argument to be enough to create a client WebSocket (on Win8, and post Win8 due to backward compatibility requirements),
// we estimate that implementors of a custom web socket factory will find it enough too.
