The second argument is a string that contains the name of the remote host, or the IP number of the remote host and the desired port number following the name separated by a colon. For example index.hu:80 tries to connect to the http port of the server index.hu. You can also write 16.192.80.33:80 to get a connection. The function automatically recognizes IP numbers and host names. The socket is created automatically calling the system function socket.
