TIdStackSocketHandle - Socket handle allocated by the socket implementation.

WSSocket is an abstract virtual TIdStackSocketHandle function that allows the protocol stack instance to allocate a socket handle having the specified protocol, family, structure, and IO mode. 

WSSocket must be implemented in a descendant class that provides access to the socket implementation for the platform or Operating Sytem for the Indy library. 

Use the NewSocketHandle method to allocate a socket handle and check for socket errors.
