lol, Michael.

David, thanks a lot for the answer. I'll see if I can come up with a
workaround to the problem.

I was thinking about an alternate solution, using blocking sockets,
and doing the connect on another thread. If the user cancels the
operation I'd close the socket (BIO_free) and I guess the connect
would return with an error and the thread would exit then. Seems a
little dirty but it could simplify my life. What do you think?

Cheers,
Gabriel.
