// Connections are generally created based on a context which controls the range of acceptable
// protocols. This query reports the deprecated way of creating connections without referring
// to a context (via `ssl.wrap_socket`). Doing this and not specifying which protocols are
// acceptable means that connections will be created with the insecure default settings.
//
// Detecting that a connection is created with a context that has not been suitably configured
// is handled by the data-flow query py/insecure-protocol.
