Changes (by chris_kohlhoff):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => invalid

Comment:

 A socket is not automatically closed when the connect fails, hence is_open
 still returns true. This is the intended (and documented) behaviour. You
 need to check the error code produced by the operation and act on it
 accordingly.
