The stream 14delegates the task of establishing the connection to the next layers. 15For example, if the next layer is a connectible stream or socket object, 16it can be accessed to call the necessary function for connecting. 17Here we make an outbound connection as a client would do. 18 19[code_websocket_1_1] 20 21To accept incoming connections, an acceptor is used. The websocket stream 22may be constructed from the socket returned by the acceptor when an 23incoming connection is established. 24 25[code_websocket_1_2] 26 27Alternatively, the incoming connection may be accepted directly into 28the socket owned by the websocket stream, using this overload of the 29acceptor member function. 30 31[code_websocket_1_3] 32 33[endsect] 34
