[*cringe* I sent straight to Daniel, then did it again, hopefully
 I do this right and it goes to the list... 3rd time lucky? ;]

Heya

I've just tested it fine on

    FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE
    Cygwin-1.1 environment under Win2k

Both used the O_NONBLOCK method.

I couldn't figure out how to get it compiling as a console app using
Visual C++ 6.. I got it to compile by altering the top of the file to:

    #include <winsock2.h>
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <time.h>
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <errno.h>

    #define EWOULDBLOCK WSAEWOULDBLOCK
    #define EINPROGRESS WSAEINPROGRESS

however it didn't produce any output:

    H:\dl\tmp\nonblockconnect>cl /D "_MBCS" /D "WIN32" /D "VC6" /MD
connect.c
    /linkws2_32.lib /subsystem:console

    /out:connect.exe
    ws2_32.lib
    /subsystem:console
    connect.obj

    H:\dl\tmp\nonblockconnect>connect.exe www.haxx.se

    H:\dl\tmp\nonblockconnect>

So I suspect I've done something rather wrong :)

(I fixed the size mismatch warning by changing the htons to htonl...
seems that Winsock expects the port number to be an integer/long as
opposed to a short?)
