        This method attempts to execute Socket method available since Java 1.4 using reflection. If the methods are not available or could not be executed null is returned
        Parameters:
        socketfactoryName - name of the socket factory class
        host - the host name/IP
        port - the port on the host
        localAddress - the local host name/IP to bind the socket to
        localPort - the port on the local machine

        Returns:
        a connected Socket
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs while creating the socket
        java.net.UnknownHostException - if the IP address of the host cannot be determined
