class MSocketConnector

/**	

The MSocketConnector class provides an API to control a socket connection

request. The socket connection would have been requested via the 

MSocketFactory API. An observer is required for the socket connection - a

MSocketConnectObserver object.

The MSocketConnector can stop the connection only if the socket connect

observer has not notified of either a successful connection or that an error

has occurred.

If the connection is stopped then the observer will receive no notification

and the MSocketConnector object is longer valid.
