Re: LuaSocket: asynchronous connect on Windows not behaving properly

This is the expected behavior.  "Already connected" is an
error message that means there is no error. It is what you
should get in this case and means connection succeeded.
The failure you are getting is hitting you so quick that
select is returning right away, so no problem there either.

Can you tell me more about the error you get when you try to
call connect() again on Windows?
