because i was declaring that the connection was via tcp.
in case this is an unimportant detail to me, i could use
/net/net/bell-labs.com/http
instead. and supposing that i am connected to bell-labs.com via
(pulls something random out of a hat) xns spp only and suppsing there
is a standard socket number assigned for http over xns/spp, this would
be equivalent to
/net/spp/bell-labs.com/http
