Hello Josh,
Thanks for replying. Yes, it is an interesting idea as well. I tried to call sock_getsockopt in sf_notify_func(...) when handling different events, but it always returns 0 as error value and 0 as a return value. I can't call this function in sf_detach_func(...) because at this time the socket is already gone.
I was also monitoring all options set events in sf_setoption_func(...) but SO_ERROR does not get set :'(. Approach of cookies in NKE is really great, but I luck the IRPs and Completion Routines from Windows :)

with best regards, Volodymyr.

Have you tried calling sock_getsockopt(socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR, &err, &optlen)?
I'm not certain the suggestion above will work, but that is where I'd start.
Hope this helps,

I was trying to see in sf_setopt_func any options which are set on a socket after connections is failed but I could not find any clue on what to filter out. Is there any chance to get this data at socket level NKE? I was hoping to get last error associated with a socket or something simular to GetLastError(...) functions under Windows.
