generic connect uses

variable to sort out some compiler warnings.

that resolves to multiple IP addresses.

precaution to prevent mistakes to lead to buffer overflows.

of typecasts all over

linked list for name resolved data, even on hosts/systems with only IPv4
stacks as this simplifies a lot of code.

status more obvious
