Description

The 'http::connect(address)' variant of 'http::connect()' doesn't
currently support SSL. However, when SSL is enabled, the default for
all 'Socket::create()' calls is to use the 'DEFAULT_KIND()' of socket
which is set to SSL. This causes problems with 'connect()' becuuse it
will create a socket of 'kind' SSL without a way to override it.
