# startConnect method

Future<ConnectionTask<Socket>> startConnect (dynamic host, int port, { dynamic sourceAddress })

Like connect, but returns a Future that completes with a ConnectionTask that can be cancelled if the Socket is no longer needed.

## Implementation

    static Future<ConnectionTask<Socket>> startConnect(host, int port,
        {sourceAddress}) {
      final IOOverrides overrides = IOOverrides.current;
      if (overrides == null) {
        return Socket._startConnect(host, port, sourceAddress: sourceAddress);
      }
      return overrides.socketStartConnect(host, port,
          sourceAddress: sourceAddress);
    }
