[zeromq-dev] Unreasonable behavior of a socket when connection can't be established. How to enable the blocking mode on a socket?

[Yuri]

This isn't good.

This means that anybody who would use ZMQ to handle TCP connections 
wouldn't be able to properly handle basic TCP error conditions because 
they don't fit into ZMQ's paradigm.

Good architecture should handle things easily and with elegance. It 
shouldn't be so abstract that it would ignore important life situations.


Cheers,
Yuri
