connect (2 of 12 overloads)

Establishes a socket connection by trying each endpoint in a sequence.

template<
    typename Protocol,
    typename Executor,
    typename EndpointSequence>
Protocol::endpoint connect(
    basic_socket< Protocol, Executor > & s,
    const EndpointSequence & endpoints,
    asio::error_code & ec,
    constraint_t< is_endpoint_sequence< EndpointSequence >::value >  = 0);

This function attempts to connect a socket to one of a sequence of endpoints. It does this by repeated calls to the socket's connect member function, once for each endpoint in the sequence, until a connection is successfully established.

Parameters

s

The socket to be connected. If the socket is already open, it will be closed.

endpoints

A sequence of endpoints.

ec

Set to indicate what error occurred, if any. If the sequence is empty, set to asio::error::not_found. Otherwise, contains the error from the last connection attempt.

Return Value

On success, the successfully connected endpoint. Otherwise, a default-constructed endpoint.

Example
tcp::resolver r(my_context);
tcp::resolver::query q("host", "service");
tcp::socket s(my_context);
asio::error_code ec;
asio::connect(s, r.resolve(q), ec);
if (ec)
{
  // An error occurred.
}
