is there any way to use custom TCP Socket?

I try to hack my way through _getConnectionOptions & createConnection in credentials, but no luck so far.

Is there any suggested way of doing this?

+1, this would be a great feature to have.

@aminick your hack from #2038 seems still work well, but I wonder if anyone knows a better way to do it this, or otherwise, is there a chance the proper way could be implemented?
