Hi folks,

while working on HTTPCLIENT-690, I got confused by an earlier
decision of mine: to keep the name of the SecureSocketFactory
interface. The defining characteristic for that interface is
not that the sockets are secure, but that they are layered on
top of other sockets. If you don't need SSL tunnelling through
proxies, you might as well implement the plain SocketFactory
interface to create SSL sockets. And whether a socket should
be considered secure might depend on more than just whether
it's an SSL socket.

I have renamed the interface to LayeredSocketFactory. That
should help to distinguish the three concepts (layered, SSL,
secure) in the future.

cheers,
  Roland
