CommTCPAsync
Non-blocking TCP Streams Module.
Details:
This module implements true non-blocking TCP streams using the CommStreams framework. The reference implementation (CommTCP) is only non-blocking AFTER a connection has been established, and can block the framework for a significant time during the establishment of a TCP connection. In some situations (eg. web proxy servers) this is unacceptable.
The solution to this problem is to use the asynchronous functions provided by Winsock. Module CommTCPAsync allows TCP host-name resolution and connection establishment to be performed as background tasks. This is done in a way that is compatible with the CommStreams framework.
