winsock:WS_setsockopt

[MediaHost (TM)]

Well, if the setting is win98 instead of win2k, than the output differs 
a little. The program tries to connect to a http server and gets the 
HEAD of the server / page. That's what's actually doing. Right now it 
just fails, i.e. no connection, so there is one (even iexplore connects 
happily).

I think this is a problem of the ?Unimplemented or unknown socket level? 
and returns a error. This is what the program checks. So if it could 
fetch the HEAD of the server, everything would be fine, if not, it 
sounds the alarm.

I tried contacting the author, but no reply as of now....Maybe we can 
just satisfy the program in an other way, i.e. return it a socket? Any 
ideas?
