When building the cURL library on Windows with _WIN32_WINNT=0x0600, cURL will use the WSAPoll API function (available in Vista and higher). However, cURL will suffer from a bug in WSAPoll. When the cURL library is used to setup a connection to an incorrect port, normally the result is CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT, /* 7 */, but due to the bug in WSAPoll, the result now is CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT, /* 28 - the timeout time was reached */.
Is there any official documentation or recognition of this flaw somewhere? A question from 2008 in a forum post is not the most comforting source.
