Description

Follow up of https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/54179#discussion_r1514886587

Reading DnsSocketConnector, there is no easy way currently to hook between resolve() and stream_socket_client(). Providing a custom resolver doesn't help because of the inet_pton($host) shortcut.

Hooking here is useful for e.g. Symfony's NoPrivateNetworkHttpClient so that it can filter the remote host before trying to connect to it.

Research direction

Start by reading DnsSocketConnector and tracing the path from resolve() to stream_socket_client(), including the inet_pton($host) shortcut. Review the linked Symfony discussion for the intended interception point and determine what hook contract would let callers inspect the remote host before connection. Done means the hook is available without breaking custom resolver behavior and is covered by the relevant socket tests.
