 Produces a socket/stream to be used for HTTP requests.
 
-By default, this function is the same as [`net.createConnection()`][]. However,
-custom agents may override this method in case greater flexibility is desired.
+By default, this function behaves identically to [`net.createConnection(options)`][],
+synchronously returning the created socket. The optional `callback` parameter in the
+signature is **not** used by this default implementation.
 
-A socket/stream can be supplied in one of two ways: by returning the
-socket/stream from this function, or by passing the socket/stream to `callback`.
+However, custom agents may override this method to provide greater flexibility,
+for example, to create sockets asynchronously. When overriding `createConnection`:
 
-This method is guaranteed to return an instance of the {net.Socket} class,
-a subclass of {stream.Duplex}, unless the user specifies a socket
-type other than {net.Socket}.
+1.  **Synchronous socket creation**: The overriding method can return the
+    socket/stream directly.
+2.  **Asynchronous socket creation**: The overriding method can accept the `callback`
+    and pass the created socket/stream to it (e.g., `callback(null, newSocket)`).
+    If an error occurs during socket creation, it should be passed as the first
+    argument to the `callback` (e.g., `callback(err)`).
 
-`callback` has a signature of `(err, stream)`.
+The agent will call the provided `createConnection` function with `options` and
+this internal `callback`. The `callback` provided by the agent has a signature
+of `(err, stream)`.
