Storm) > Too bad nobody cared to make non-blocking connects work on Windows > before the release ... Yes, I agree. Maybe it is just because there seem to be too many subtle bugs that one stumble on on the w32 side. Problems with ported gnu applications, problems within Emacs... It wastes a lot of time that the code in some cases does not seem to be written to be portable from the beginning. A lack of structure I believe. And of course not everyone has the knowledge about networking on both w32 and *nix which seems to be needed to fix those things.
