socket broken on Windows

[fperrad]

the following code fails on Windows

.include 'socket.pasm'

.sub 'main' :main
    .local pmc sock, addr
    sock = new 'Socket'
    sock.'socket'(.PIO_PF_INET, .PIO_SOCK_STREAM, .PIO_PROTO_TCP)
    addr = sock.'sockaddr'('www.parrot.org', 80)
    sock.'connect'(addr)
    say "ok"
.end

with the output:

gethostbyname failure [www.parrot.org]
ok

I just realized that, too. Has this ever worked?

It seems that we should use AF_INET instead of PF_INET on Win32. I'm going to address this in the nwellnhof/platform_src branch.

It is a regression.

    [io] Unify stdhandle init code

2511592 should hopefully fix this, but I couldn't test it.

I just tested this program on 64bit Windows 7, and it works fine. I'm comfortable closing this, but we might want another data point to confirm (fperrad?).

fixed with RELEASE_2_11_0-1111-g2511592. see  http://smolder.parrot.org/app/projects/report_details/2684
