The Remoting http transport communicates by way of HttpURLConnections, and I'm not aware of any way to access sockets managed by an ordinary HttpUrlConnection. The secure subclass HttpsURLConnection has a setSSLSocketFactory() method, which would allow you to create and configure sockets. Unfortunately, HttpURLConnection doesn't have such a method.
