###### basic_stream::connect (5 of 10 overloads)

Establishes a connection by trying each endpoint in a sequence.

<h7> Synopsis </h7>

    template<
        class Iterator>
    Iterator
    connect(
        Iterator begin,
        Iterator end);

<h7> Description </h7>

This function attempts to connect the stream to one of a sequence of endpoints by trying each endpoint until a connection is successfully established. The underlying socket is automatically opened if needed. An automatically opened socket is not returned to the closed state upon failure. The algorithm, known as a composed operation, is implemented in terms of calls to the underlying socket's `connect` function.

<h7> Parameters </h7>

Name | Description
--- | ---
`begin` | An iterator pointing to the start of a sequence of endpoints.
`end` | An iterator pointing to the end of a sequence of endpoints.

<h7> Return Value </h7>

An iterator denoting the successfully connected endpoint.

<h7> Exceptions </h7>

Type | Thrown On
--- | ---
`system_error` | Thrown on failure. If the sequence is empty, the associated error code is `net::error::not_found`. Otherwise, contains the error from the last connection attempt.
