[Click] Question about socket

[Beyers Cronje]

Hi Roberto,

Socket is opened on Click initialization and closed on cleanup, so yes
elements in "my elements" will use the already open socket.

I run Socket in server mode and can confirm the connection from the remote
client stays open and is used by elements in my configuration.
