James,
I have done a bit of debugging on the socket addon and may have found
the problem; I think it may be related to a platform specific
implementation detail mentioned on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/ms737625.aspx regarding error codes. It seems connect
sometimes returns EINVALID when it really means WSAEALREADY.
However, to really produce a working patch (which I'd like to do), I
need to be able to compile the addon, and for that I need libevent.
Now I'd like to save myself the trouble of trying to compile that on
Windows, which seems to be all but unsupported; since you seem to be
the Io maintainer for Windows, I guess you have binaries for that.
Could you send those my way? If that's a possibility, please send to
clemens dot hofreither at gmx dot net.
Best regards,
Clemens
