=head1 DESCRIPTION
BIO_s_connect() returns the connect BIO method. This is a wrapper
round the platform's TCP/IP socket connection routines.
-Using connect BIOs TCP/IP connections can be made and data
+Using connect BIOs, TCP/IP connections can be made and data
transferred using only BIO routines. In this way any platform
specific operations are hidden by the BIO abstraction.
it also returns the socket . If B<c> is not NULL it should be of
type (int *).
-BIO_set_conn_hostname() uses the string B<name> to set the hostname
+BIO_set_conn_hostname() uses the string B<name> to set the hostname.
The hostname can be an IP address. The hostname can also include the
port in the form hostname:port . It is also acceptable to use the
form "hostname/any/other/path" or "hostname:port/any/other/path".
list is http, telnet, socks, https, ssl, ftp, gopher and wais.
BIO_set_conn_ip() sets the IP address to B<ip> using binary form,
-that is four bytes specifying the IP address in big endian form.
+that is four bytes specifying the IP address in big-endian form.
BIO_set_conn_int_port() sets the port using B<port>. B<port> should
be of type (int *).
BIO_get_conn_hostname() returns the hostname of the connect BIO or
-NULL if the BIO is initialised but no hostname is set.
+NULL if the BIO is initialized but no hostname is set.
This return value is an internal pointer which should not be modified.
BIO_get_conn_port() returns the port as a string.
should be made before the connection is established because
non blocking I/O is set during the connect process.
+BIO_new_connect() combines BIO_new() and BIO_set_conn_hostname() into
+a single call: that is it creates a new connect BIO with B<name>.
+
BIO_do_connect() attempts to connect the supplied BIO. It returns 1
if the connection was established successfully. A zero or negative
value is returned if the connection could not be established, the
possible for BIO_should_io_special() to be true during the initial
connection process with the reason BIO_RR_CONNECT. If this is returned
then this is an indication that a connection attempt would block,
-the application should then take appropiate action to wait until
+the application should then take appropriate action to wait until
the underlying socket has connected and retry the call.

=head1 RETURN VALUES
BIO_s_connect() returns the connect BIO method.
BIO_get_fd() returns the socket or -1 if the BIO has not
-been initialised.

BIO_set_conn_hostname(), BIO_set_conn_port(), BIO_set_conn_ip() and
BIO_set_conn_int_port() always return 1.
