## dbConnect ----
#' Connect to a ClickHouse database using the ClickHouseHTTP DBI
#'
#' @param drv A driver object created by [ClickHouseHTTP()]
#' @param host name of the database host (default: "localhost")
#' @param port port on which the database is listening (default: 8123L)
#' @param dbname name of the default database (default: "default")
#' @param user user name (default: "default")
#' @param password user password (default: "")
#' @param https a logical to use the HTTPS protocol (default: FALSE)
#' @param ssl_verifypeer a logical to verify SSL certificate when using
#' HTTPS (default: TRUE)
#' @param host_path a path to use on host (e.g. "ClickHouse/"):
#' it allows to connect on a server behind a reverse proxy for example
#' @param use_session a logical indicating if a session should be created and
#' use in ClickHouse (default: FALSE)
#' @param session_timeout timeout in seconds (default: 3600L seconds)
#' @param convert_uint a logical: if TRUE (default), UInt ClickHouse
#' data types are converted in the following R classes:
#' - UInt8 : logical
#' - UInt16: Date
#' (when using Arrow format
#' in [dbSendQuery,ClickHouseHTTPConnection,character-method])
#' - UInt32: POSIXct
#' (when using Arrow format
#' in [dbSendQuery,ClickHouseHTTPConnection,character-method])
#' @param extended_headers a named list with other HTTP headers
#' (for example: `extended_headers=list("X-Authorization"="Bearer <token>")`
#' can be used for OAuth access delegation)
#' @param reset_handle a logical indicating whether to force a fresh TCP
#' connection for each request (httr2 `fresh_connect` curl option).
#' If TRUE, connections are never reused from the pool, which can help in
#' long-running sessions where stale connections cause errors (default: FALSE).
#' @param settings list of
#' [Clickhouse
#' settings](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/settings/settings/)
#' @param ... Other parameters passed on to methods
#'
#' @return A ClickHouseHTTPConnection
