LuaSocket - non-blocking connect ?

["Francisco Sant'anna" <francisco.santanna@...>]

Is it possible?

If I'm not missing something, a call to socket.connect will block the application until the connection is ok (or fail).
The problem is that I want to use LuaSocket in an event-driven system -- such connect call inside a callback would freeze the whole system.
I would like something like:
socket.connect(..., cb_function)
Where cb_function receives the connection or nil when failing.

Thanks.
