Something like:

   CAMEL_SERVICE_CLASS(parent_class)->connect(service, ex);

from within the transport connect() method?

But I gather that I don't need to do this as I can connect explicitly
from within the send_to() method in the transport instead? 

Isn't it cleaner to connect in connect() and let the upper layers worry
about using send_to() without being connected? 

Should I ever call connect() in send_to() or is connect() called from
above before send_to() is invoked?

Should I return an exception if I am not connected in send_to() or
should I connect myself?
