Thanks for the review. But attached is a new version of the patch that
changes the semantics a little based on what's recommended by the new
version of python-nss: don't construct the NetworkAddress object
manually, but rather resolve the hostname using the AddrInfo object and
then try connecting to the list of of NetworkAddress object manually.
